Ok, it seems your all getting the wrong idea about the lite version. Its actually lite 'settings' rather than lite 'version'. I did not spend ages coding a special version, and I dont plan too. It just disables all settings not relating to games, and changes the theme to a more 'game' related one. When I say disables and changes that does not mean remove or set in stone. You can turn them on and change again from the configuration application. Its all about perception and showing the full power and flexiblity of the product, as well as taking out some of the decision work for people who arnt too savvy with their PC's, or dont understand how software works. Like how you can get rid of the XP style look in Windows and make it look like 2000. Most people dont know or do this. Its not a different version just turns off some stuff. e.g some people look at my PC screen and dont think Im running XP.

Not possible at the moment.

Yo dont need to uninstall, and it only disables and not removes.

Im already in discussion with the Gamebase team about this. I need permission.

Found it. Fixed in next release.

Its ok found it. It happens when HTML applications are turned off. Next release

Does this happen every time?

None at all as far as I know. I have no idea sorry.

Are you just using the keyboard? Do you have directinput turned on?

OK, its fixed. Be in next version.

can you try pressing 5 on an actual keyboard please. let me know what that does

6th July 2005 - GameEx 4.53 In order to stop common support problems, and make the installation smoother, GameEx will not install and prompt you if either the .net framework or DirectX9 is not installed. There is also no longer an option to download and install the .net framework in the install, as this would not work on some systems. Also DirectX is not downloadable from the install, as this required a reboot. This ensures basic requirements are met for GameEx solving a few support requests. It will also allow a Wizard to be run from the install at a later date, as I can be certain the framework is installed. The install also has an option to setup GameEx in 'lite' mode just for games usage. These should hopefully make some users happy. Language support has also been improved. Languages are now stored in the config folder, and are global across all themes and independent unlike before. The current language can also be set from the configuration application. This should make it a lot easier for updating the language files while extending to any theme, and I hope to see some updates and new ones soon There is a new theme 'GameEx Animated' which animates the background slightly by stretching. The default theme also animates. It is extremely subtle much like MCE. If you want to do this in your own themes, set anibak=true in your theme.ini file. I'd like feedback on this. The default loading screen has been replaced with something a bit more cool. There a new setting under Display, to have GameEx not switch resolution, and run full screen at the current windows/desktop resolution.

I dont really know what it could be off hand. Your deffinitly using the Jukebox and not a playlist? What sort of controller do you have? Do you have DirectInput enabled? Ive not heard of or seen this before. Anyone else have this issues.

I dont think your graphics card is powerfull enough. Either that or its because your not running on win2000 or xp. I cant offer much help right now.

Are you using a SlikStik or IPAC too?

Have you tried service mode? ============================= Q: I have GameEx locked so users cant do things such as update the list or exit. Is there a special service mode that unlocks GamEx, so I can update the list, delete all favorites, exit or create snaps? A: To enter service mode do the following: Keep navigating back to until the buffer is cleared. Go to the start page. Then do these controls in order. BACK PAGE UP PAGE DOWN LEFT UP VOLUME UP To lock again and end service mode follow the same procedure.

Anyone running Windows 98 or Windows ME can you answer either or both these questions please? 1. Does the Videos module work for you in GameEx? 2. Does the DVD Player work? Thanks, Tom

For starters copy the ROMS from the CD to your hard disk. Then post your log.

Maybe GameEx can get some sponsorship from Maxtor

Hi All, I am not getting hardly any bug reports. Please do post any bugs you find with GameEx, big or small. I can't believe my coding is that great that there arnt any I spot the odd thing myself now and then.. Please do help build a better GameEx. As with feature requests, bug reports are activly encouraged. Thanks, Ton,

Could you tell me your operating system and PC hardware? Which version of Windows Media Player do you have? Is the GameEx toolbar visible at the top of the screen, when you move the mouse? Do the videos play when GameEx is in windowed mode?

Your welcome truant. I am sorry I dont plan to add Goodmerge support in the near future.

I dont think its getting that far Rob: http://tomspeirs.com/gameEx/docs.htm Paragraph 3 and specifcally 4: 4: 'If you have troouble getting MAME to show up in GameEx, check the log, this will tell you why GameEx disabled MAME.'

This is the third setting (Video Path/s) under Multimeda/HTPC in the configuration application (You may need to click next page)
