  1. Hi folks. OK this one's got me stumped! Love the theme, Rage, but redesigning the different logos. So far done the start page and now tackling the Mame section! Wow - designing all these is quite cool at first, but soon gets tedious + repetitious! I digress - normally, just replace the logo graphic with one of my own making and rename it to the 'old' logo name. However... in the mame menu, there's a sub-menu called "not played" - it has the standard 'futuristic floppy disc' type of icon in red. However - I can't find it anywhere!! Not in the theme's folder, nor in any of the other themes (I wondered if it'd revert to a default in the event of not finding). This is really gonna spoil my themed subsections - where is it, or how do I point Gameex to a new logo for this sub-section? I've had a look at theme-editor and can't make head nor tail of it! [EDIT: OK here we go - can't find CHD Games either - what's going on!] [EDIT 2: Add "Live - GameEx Favourites" to the list] [Edit 3: Also Add Sega MOdel 2] Thanks in advance. Oh and here's a few logos been working on..... Steve

  2. As far as it not exiting the editor, it's cuz it you need to use the advanced config included with the loader and point to it in Setup Wizard. What it does is send the necessary keys to exit the emulator.

  3. Sounds like you got a great deal, Han! Raleigh's, no matter their build, are pretty durable bikes. Don't be put off by any repairs. If the bike was made in the 90's, I would hazard a guess that you are dealing with original tubes. Replace those. Also, if the tires are original, they may need to be replaced as well as dry rot can be a problem with rubber breaking down due to age and exposure - even if the thread looks like new. Be careful of using too much WD40. Only grease made for the pedal shaft should be used there as well as within the actual wheel axles and bearings. WD40 can cause that to break down and the parts to wear faster. Use it only on the surface rust and immediately wipe it off. Don't get on rims or brake pads. You can likely replace the reflectors from kit obtained from Walmart for cheap. As for the brakes, the cables, if not broken, can be easily reattached and, with a little effort, adjusted. Same as with the tires, the brake pads are subject to dry rot being made of rubber, albeit a little harder. They should still feel like rubber. If they feel more like rocks and have small cracks, replace them. Finally, if you will be riding at times in the dark, do yourself a BIG favor and install LED headlight and flashing wheel and tail reflectors. A helmet, while no longer required in most states, will save your life. Get one that is light colored, reflective (I have even seen them with a flashing LED attached to the back for better visibility to drivers) and a reflective vest is not a bad idea either. Sure, you may look like a dork to some people, but you will be LIVE dork!

  4. R-Dub - try the following: c:\windows\system32\taskkill /f /im vpinball.exeor create a batch file via notepad and call it VPinKill.bat and use the following: @echo offc:\windows\system32\taskkill /f /im vpinball.exeIf you go with the batch file you will need point your launch after command to it. I'd try the first, obviously.

  5. Hard to say. There may have been a configuration in the forum that automatically puts all images into thumbnails to keep everything neat and tidy. On the other hand, you have an image that's not a thumbnail in your signature... take a look at how you have that and try it. I believe all you need to do is have it inside an [ img ] set... Like this: [ img ] link to images [ /img ] Of course you'll want to take out the extra spaces.. I just did that so the post wouldn't think i'm trying to add an image.

  6. Most of us know that PacMan is a clone of Pucman. If you live in the U.S. or some other English speaking country, you have probably already added pacman to your 'Do Not Filter' list. (Actually GameEx comes preconfigured this way.) Mame Clone Thingy makes it easy to determine if there are clones that you would rather run instead of their parent. When the program is run, the check boxes are pre-selected along with the 'best guess' of which clone to use. I say best guess because IMHO pacman is the best clone for puckman, however, there is no information in the description that would indicate that is true. Check the selections over and make any changes that suit your needs. If you uncheck a box, that item will be skipped over. When you are satisfied, click 'Do it!' and the DoNotFilterROMS and ExcludedMAMERoms in your GameEx.ini will be updated. Update your list, and you should be good to go. Possible issue: The existing entries in your GameEx.ini are added to, and not over written. If you have already added games to either DoNotFilterROMS or ExcludedMAMERoms they will still be there. OTOH, it is possible that a game in your existing Excluded list may be added to Do Not Filter list, and vice-versa. I'm not sure what GameEx would do if that happens. I may fix this later.
