Hey folks! Sorry its been awhile since ive posted but Ive been working like a madman on my cab lately organizing my games setting it up. Just got my xarcade stick, been breakn that in too. I just want to say YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! You responses have been a huge help. And thanks Dazzle for putting together that awesome custom menu tutorial! That was a big help as I was afraid to edit it without proper instruction for fear I would mess up my menue beyond repair. lol Anyways things are going great but just tonight as I was testing out some settings something odd happened... My mouse and toolbar disappeared in gameex! I went into the config wizard and made sure both where turned on (which they where) I tried turning them on and off but no matter what I do I cant get them to come back...I havnt made any changes to my theme or anything lately, Ive only just been setting my inputs to my xarcade stick. I searched the web for a solution and the only thing I found was that a guy had this problem and updated gameex and it fixed it. I got my gameex set to auto update and I registered it for a year of updates so I assume I am running the latest version...is this a bug in the program? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!!

Hello all! Im new here and about a week ago I installed gameex, as I am working on a multicade project, something ive wanted to do for YEARS but have not until recently been able to afford. I bought my license registered and all that, and have been getting my emulators all running and have been pretty much doing pretty well on my own! But there are a few issues I am having that ive been racking my brain over and cant seem to find the answers to in my searches. 1. I am having a hard time getting external apps to work. I bought a copy of IGT slots and installed it to my pc I set it up in the setup wizard during the External Applications section, made sure it was running in full screen, set the cmd as the executable, tried setting the path to both the folder where the game is installed, and when that didnt work to a folder with a shortcut to the games exe with no luck. It shows up in gameex, but when I try to launch it, gameex acts like its loading something and then just returns to the menue. Saw some stuff on how to use something called an Advanced Configuration tool but the version I have right now, the latest version I believe doesn't have that tool. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? 2. I made a short little 50 second intro video for gameex in windows movie maker, It plays fine in media player and when I boot gameex it loads and all, but the audio is really choppy and the video is also laggy. I have a fairly fast laptop (Aspire 57327 with a dual core) so I dont think its that. Is it perhaps in the wrong format? (its in WMV) 3. A tutorial for the Custom Menu tool. Ive looked around and cant seem to find anything on this. Id love to streamline my menues a bit, get rid of some options I dont need, and have my emulators on the first screen with MAME rather then under a generic "game emulators menu 4. And last but not least, running two versions of mame but having the games all show up together in gameex. I have a bunch of roms that only work in mame32, and a few other ones that run in mame plus. How does one go about having gameex launch a different version of mame for the corrasponding rom? Anyways, any help on these issues would be VERY much appreciated! This project I am embarking on has been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid (im 30 now). I grew in a rural area where there where no malls or arcades nearby but I still remember the excitement of sometimes getting the rare chance to go to visit an arcade as a kid and am very excited to get my project off the ground, And my apologies in advance, as Ill be the first to admit...im not the sharpest tool in the shed so I may ask some dumb questions trying to figure this all out, but I do try my best to figure most of this out on my own and I am more then happy to clarify anything I say or provide further info. Its just these four things have royally stumped or intimidated me. lol Anyways thanks for any help!
