The solution to this is to use HeadKaze's CPWizard. GameEx can use that instead of its own control panel viewer, and its much more advanced. Basically Better. I should add this to the FAQ.

Yes, as stated though, recent versions of FFDSHOW work better unless you turn on sound for snaps, and startup videos wont work either. Just to be verbose for Google. The issue has been reported the FFDSHOW Tryouts team here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?f...amp;atid=867360

Missed this off the release notes. Thank Flash for the inspiration MAME Support:Extra formatting is performed on the Manufacturer list to group companies together. For example Atari and Atari games becomes Atari. A list update is required.

You might get a bit more interest if you put some hi-res naked chicks on there. Like that poster. Man cannot live on games alone. Just a suggestion

By the way the second one it already does

If its for genuine commerical and legal purposes (which is sometimes not the case), Id be happy to talk further with you about it. My contact inforamtion is here: http://www.spesoft.com/default.aspx?page=1 Just to clear this up for everyone. Here is the official stance: It would have to be a commercial request. I dont take money for ad-hoc personal changes. ie you would have to be a comany in a commercial venture to do this. License and permission would be required for the games being used. This means more than the fact you simply purchased games. You would also need permission from the copyright holder to use the games in this way. Its not happened yet.. PS: Another good reason for not making the source code available.

Sorry, put it down to age Glad its working for you now. No worries.

Im just uploading 9.64 now. I dont know about Shaunops or Chris C's issues. Perhaps others can please test and let me know if there getting the issues. It does correct the MAME Bypass disclaimer still beeing on when turned off. Ill make it default off for the next release, and HK it does already create the .cfg regardless. Cheers. Tom

Does it work if you delete the image based icon? What version did you upgrade from? GameEx searches for an image first then video. I dont hink I changed that in this release. Although could have done.

Please post your log. What CPU are you using? All I can think is your system does not support a tick count, which would be very odd.

Please go to http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...st=0#entry48579

No need, Ill have it fixed today. Please try the attached GameEx.exe, and let me know if tis fixed please. GameEx.zip

Can you please post gameex.ini.

Ill look at the ICON issue, and Ill fix the disclaimer issue. But can anyone veriyfy there having the same issues as Shaunop and Joe C? Im thinking there not related to this release.

And theres me thinking I was going to have a rest today.

Its not the hide desktop setting for emulators, but the display settings hide desktop setting, which makes icons invisible and sets the wallpaper to black.

GameLauncher Mode:Lots of improvements and fixes here. Now supports the favorites, most played, and last played list along with the game information page. A MAME list update can be performed, and the issue with custom mame lists is resolved. The presentation of the list over the background snap or video has also been greatly improved. [*]Hiding windows: When hiding the taskbar GameEx will also hide the start button on Vista Systems. When the desktop is set to be hidden, GameEx will also turn off window animations, so launching between games and returning to GameEx is now totally seemless. The Hide Desktop setting is now on by default on new installs. If the GameEx process is unexpectedly ended and the desktop is not restored, GameEx will restore the wallpaper on next launch. Smooth as silk:Transitions have been improved. The 2D transition is now a little slower and smoother, and GameEx will load the first snap or video in the next list while the list is off screen. This makes everything look really nice, especially on HD displays. [*]Skinning extensibility: GameEx now supports snap/video logos for categories, manufacturers, and years. These should be placed in a folder named 'database' within the Themes logo folder. Transparant (Color Keyed) video logos are now supported. Simply suffix an AVI or MNG filename with '_TRANS' (before extenstion) I look forward to seeing what people come up with. Screensaver:The screensaver will now run even if not using MAME. Fixes turn off display screen saver mode [*]MAME Support: Extra formatting is performed on the Manufacturer list to group companies together. For example Atari and Atari games becomes Atari. A list update is required. Also in this release: New GameEx ICON Fixes key/joystick repeat issue. New cmd line option -glaunch to launch GameEx in GameLauncher mode. There is also a shortcut in the program group. Turning off Anti Alias on fonts now does just that and not set it at the system default.

Scrap that, I just fixed it. Will be in the next release.

In my tests it just takes quite a while to return GameEx. It does seem frozen, but you have to wait. Theres no other soultion for the time being.

Looks like ebay removed it.

I thought all HK's plugins were included in the GameEx install? Let me know if I need to update anything.

Feel free to let me know if I can help by hosting anything. Cheers.

The clarity and the smoothness is improved now in GameEx in Gamelauncher mode. The menu transitions are also a lot smoother throughout the program. Its running like silk here now. Ive updated the ICON to the Diet Blue ICON by Alan (Amos) in the application now.

Uploaded some GameEx ICONs here: http://www.gameex.net/Download/MediaandIma...86/Default.aspx Thanks to Amos, and also Wobbly for the prompt. Im currently "actively" working on the next GameEx release. I've been inspired to really improve the GameLauncher mode in GameEx, due to a new front end I just heard about at BYOAC. So thats coming, along with some other really nice improvements.

Well go and read them, otherwise yourll get banned next time.
