Hi. We managed to make PinballX work with Unit3D Pinball without any additionnal script. It will be available on the next release...

Custom Menus: The Basics In light of this thread i decided to make a simple tutorial on using the custom menus in gameex. Once you have a grasp on it you will soon realize just how versatile (and simple) custom menus are. And you will be able organize gameex menus anyway you see fit! Sound good? Then read on... PLEASE NOTE: You must have your emulators and apps setup in GameEx before you attempt configuring custom menus - the reason being if you did this before hand you wouldn't have anything to customize! There are two things you need to know the difference between: "Menus" and "Items". It may help to think of a "Menu" as a folder, and "Items" as files. So, you can put a Menu in a Menu (folder inside a folder) you can put an Item inside a Menu (file into folder) but you can't put a Menu inside an Item (folder into a file!). It may seem confusing at first but essentially all you are doing is arranging files (Items) into folders (Menus) An example would be helpful right now i reckon so here we go! I've decided, for the sake of this guide to arrange my main GameEx menu into 4 categories: Arcade, Console, PC and Handheld - with the relevant emulators in each category. Let's see how we achieve this: Open the Custom Menu app (Start>Programs>GameEx>Configuration>Custom Menus). Check the box "Enable Custom Menus": NOTE: For this guide i deleted all existing entries but you may, and probably will have entries already here when you first launch the app. You may use the "Delete Item/Menu" button to remove all entries if you wish - and don't worry about messing up, just uncheck "Enable Custom Menus" to revert GameEx back to default Menus On to creating our first Menu (which is basically a folder, right? ) First highlight "Start" in the lefthand tree-list, this is our top-level or "Main" menu. Then click the "New Menu" button: Now we have a new basic Menu or folder which needs some editing. The "Item/Menu Name" entry, which is how your menu will appear in the list and "Item/Menu Properties> Title" which is what will be displayed as the Title text, the big text at the top of most themes. So we change these: And repeat for the other 3 categories: So now we have 4 empty Menus to organize our emulators (Items) into. The obvious one to put under the "ARCADE" Menu would be MAME! So we highlight the "ARCADE" Menu in the lefthand tree-list and this time click on "New Item". MAME has it's own entry in the "Item Type" dropdown list so that's what we select, also editing the Name and Title as we did with the menus, only now you may want to choose a logo from the dropdown list, in this case "mame": Now, for the rest of the items we do the same but instead of "MAME" we choose "Emulator" in the "Item Type" dropdown and then the desired emu from the Properties section, in this case Neo-Geo: Rinse and repeat, editing Menu Name's and selecting logo's as you go: That is essentially it! Just create Menus (folders) and put Items into them. You really can organize GameEx in any way you want using custom menus and i'll bet you'll get great satisfaction in using them! I hope that was easy enough to understand and will help some of you on the road to "pimpin yo GameEx". Have fun and here's a vid of the example Custom Menu in action: http://youtu.be/zfgMgMj7u7s

I actually thought Super Mario 64 was a pretty brilliant game, and certainly waaaaaay ahead of any other 3D games at the time in terms of play control and whatnot, but ugh ... it was that stupid voice that was like nails on a chalkboard to me. Mario should be mute (or voiced by Captain Lou Albano). Period. He certainly shouldn't sound like the Italian version of Elmo on helium. Obviously it didn't kill the game for me, but hearing that voice was like seeing your favorite comic book character portrayed by someone who just doesn't "get" the character. Sorry for OT. I don't even own a Wii U.

I replaced both plugins. Please let me know which versions I should include in the installer.

Yeah it is interesting that Lord of the Rings was 3 books. 3 books = 3 movies. The Hobbit is 1 book. 1 book = 3 movies? Doesn't quite make sense. But when you look at all the extra stuff added, it works. Granted, they could have gotten away with 2 movies (get to the mountain, then the fight at the end (spoilers/still to come, sorry:)). But other versions that have come before of The Hobbit (the animated feature) really fell short and was not a very good adaptation at all.

Ok here is the last theme that I finished over the weekend .... Vectrex!

Hi Tom, Request: Ability to assign a button that directly launches the table (like HyperPin), instead of the Select screen. Nothing on the select screen applies to how I've set up my cab, so I'd rather not see it. I don't have flyers, instruction cards, etc, nor have I bothered to classify tables into genres/manufacturers. In HyperPin, I was able to disable these things from the exit menu (it just becomes a "Pause" logo). I might think about using a favorites list but even then, it just doesn't take long to find the game I want to play. I just want to keep it simple. Thanks, this UI is otherwise very slick!
