You should setup JoyToKey as a LaunchBefore cmd not Also Launch. The way then to do it is setup a 'launch on exit' command, to close/end process for JoyToKey. There are a few easy ways to close a process. You can use tools such as AutoIt and BatchRun. Someone else (retroguy) has done exactly this. See this post: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=203 Hope this helps. Tom

The controls should appear in the top right corner of the screen if the jukebox is playing, and enable controls is set. Are they not there? These controls are operated by the mouse. Can you post a screenshot with a jukebox track playing? The track name should also appear at the top of the screen in the toolbar. Perhaps you have the toolbar disabled? That could be why? They also dont show when in Arcade Mode or showing at ArcadeVGA low res resolutions. Could that be it? The jukebox should accept the normal input keys for skip and previous plus Play/Pause. I have a little control on my Wireless bluetooth keyboard here, and they seem to work fine. I do know that when DirectInput for keyboard is enabled these keys do not work, and neither does my MCE remote. Could that be it perhaps?

Hey Cupid, I do like them. I think so too. Do you think you could make the changes you suggested (size), continue to work on them and get them ready for me to include? Ideally the images will need to be no greater than 190X140 (can be smaller), with the text clear and visible at this size. The images will be ovelayed over the video so will need a black background which will be the transparency key. They also should not be any anti aliased or softened (can be be casued by scaling in photoshop) edges. Otherwise they will look good. I hope you can continue with this good work. I like this and all your other ideas and want to do this.

In your MAME directory, you can also try deleting Listinfo.dat and Verify.dat Also, the attached log is not entirely the same as the first post in this thread, because it looks like GameEx was exited normally rather than a crash. Although it may not have been. Does updating the Gamelist just do nothing? Rather than actually crash? Also, it looks like your running on Windows Server 2003. Is this correct? Was this the same OS that you were originally able to update the list with? Tom

I think this is as we talked before, its because you have 'show game information' turned off. The images are available after you select a game. Tom

It should work with spaces in the path. Not sure why thats not working. Can you try deleting gamelist.txt in the Data directory, then see if the list will update? Tom

Yes, you need to add the files to the Windows Media Player Library.

First Turn off debug. Then do either of the following: Set ShowDesktop to true for this emulator in GameEx (this should deffinitly work). Or Make epsxe run full screen with DirectX

Hi, no problem about language. I like to pride myself on GameEx being a multi nationality application and community. Even though I only speak English, so I have a worse problem then you I know exactly where you are coming from. I have had the problem when making the default themes. The solution is to cut round (out) the logo in your image software so there are no edges whatsoever. It will then display fine. GameEx will never likely support alpha blending as it uses DirectDraw as a core and not Direct3D.

Nobody has. UNC paths are not supported in GameEx. At all. You need to map drives. You can do this in windows explorer and have the map reconnect at startup. You can also do this with a batch file using the Net Use command if for whatever reason you have problems with the first method, and then have windows run this on startup before GameEx.

It does not work, the MAME nag screen is somehow protected against this behaviour.

Thanks Cupid, that's great. I'll check out the PSD shortly, I just need to install Photoshop again. Should be able to add images no problem. And yes, I am planning on adding TV viewing and recording functionality. Although it will only be supported on WinXP SP2 and above. I am taking the very easy route and using the Microsoft TV ActiveX Control. It will only support recording for cards that have MPEG encoding or Digital TV cards where the signal is already MPEG2. A 350 should work fine. Cheers. Tom

It sounds like you are using another seperate batch file to launch epsxe. Why??

I think your probably running an old version of MAME32 that does not support the command line options that GameEx has as default. What version of MAME32 are you running? Try removing the command line options under Advance MAME settings. or Get a newer version of MAME32 or try the command line only version from http://mame.net

23rd May 2005 - GameEx 4.03 The new videos module now has an info page where you can resume playing a file from the last position. Category list in favourites now lists and allows filter by emulator. Window can now be restored/maximized when playing a DVD or video. Enhanced start-up logging. Now shows MAME version information. If 5 or 6 (Credit button) is pressed when in attract mode the current game will not exit and can be played. Updated German translation by Cupid. Fixed bug where vertical MNG videos would not play at certain widescreen resolutions.

Please post your log file.

GameEx already does this, has done from the beggining. You wont find attract mode launching non working games. Unfortunatly the -listxml output reports games as fully working even though some have problems. For example the driver, video, colours, sound all report good when screen flipping is not supported

Also: Play=Play Resume=Resume Restart=Restart GameEx will soon support resuming of videos even after close/reboot, which is something than MCE does not do at the moment. I am also looking at the ability to add videos to Favorites too. This will mean that videos will also have an Info page where you can carry this out. This may lead later on to the ability to display movie information such as synopsis, actors, director etc. Again something MCE does not do.

Hi, These will be new text/translation settings in the next version. Chapter=Chapter Aspect=Aspect Aspect0=Original Aspect - Not Zoomed Aspect4=Widescreen on 4:3 - Stretched Aspect3a=Widescreen to 4:3 - Zoomed Aspect3b=Letterbox to Widescreen - Zoomed Aspect2=Original Aspect - Zoomed Aspect1a=Widescreen to 4:3 - Shrunk Aspect1b=4:3 to Widescreen - Stretched Paused=Paused Thanks. Tom

Hiya all, Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback. I can see practically everyone wants to help me build a better GameEx. Some of these (but not all (please undersrtand)) will deffinitly get implemented into the software. Some if not already, very imminently. Thanks again. Keep 'em coming Tom.

Not bug, just different. Help is at hand though. So dont be pissed In the emulator cmd try prefixing the command with start /wait e.g start /wait gens.exe [ROMPath]\[RomFile]

Hi, I do like the attractmode-Coin-in idea very much too. I am going to try to implement this. Tom.

Hi, Random game is coming!

Hi, The only way I know of to do this is to compile your own version as said above. There no cmd line switch and there is no hack that I know of that works. Thanks, Tom.

Hi, The log file should explain why. Could you post it, if you cant figure it out? Thanks.
