How could I be so stupid... ...Thanks Draco. That was a quick fix

Hello guys ! I'm trying to setup Steam and I am running into a weird kind of problem: When I'm not using custom menu's I get two steam menu options under Emulated games: Steam and Steam Games. When I select Steam Games I can actually select and play a game. Menu option Steam is showing some weird "appmanifest..." files. I did a search for Steam Games but I can't seem to find it anywhere (logs / ini attached) When I use custom menu's I've one steam menu option which is called "Steam" and I can select and play a game. Any idea's how to solve this ? Thanks GameEx.ini log.txt

First of all > what an amazing theme this is !! I've said it before but great work Krakerman Question... I'm trying to make use of the different system themes you've created. Up until now I've not been able to get the Steam theme and GameEx Hi-Score competition theme to work. Steam I use the integrated Steam setup. No seperate emulator. When I select Steam the default GameroomEx theme is showing. Mame - GameEx Hi-score Competition I'm using custom menus and have created a custom mame list called "GameEx Hi-Score Competition" which is the same name as the theme file you've created...GameEx is showing the Mame theme you have created instead of the hi-score theme when selecting the hi-score gamelist. What is it I am doing wrong ...? Files are attached. Any help is appreciated GameEx.ini CustomMenu.ini log.txt

Thank you Darren for this guide !! Very well written and easy to follow. Creating these custom game lists was exactly what I was trying to achieve Thank you for your help and sharing this guide with the community !! ~ GC

...and now back to GameEx and the hi-score contests ...life goes on....it's too bad, it was a close match. Penalties is always 50/50 and this time we've lost. That's sport !!

.............. :( :( :(.......damn it !!!!

...no Krul to save the day this time...I can't hardly watch anymore...

Omg penalties again !!

Phew....that was close !!

.....it's a close match....so tense ahhhhh....30 minutes extra....huntelaar will score 1-0

Thanks Darren ! I'm so excited for the upcoming match. The quarter final against Costa Rica was already a thriller with an amazing penalty series. (Long live Krul !!) Netherlands vs Germany would be amazing indeed. It would be our (...yeah, I'm Dutch ) fourth final. About time to win the cup ! We've lost a final against Germany (1974), Argentina (1978) and Spain (2010). We've already beaten Spain. The ultimate revenge would be to defeat Argentina tonight and Germany in the Final

Some pretty nice scores there I enjoy a few weeks off so I'll be defintely submitting scores in the next few days. Go Team GameEx !

Could I perhaps get a copy of the map file you're creating ?

Nice score man ! Second place again Updated LB

Any Tour de France enthusiasts ? Because I love being part of the GameEx community I just wanted to share a website I'm running since 2009 It's a friendly local competition. You have to create a Team with 15 cyclists and you earn points for the best 15 cyclists per stage... The website is in Dutch however (click on picture below)...but I just wanted to share this 3-weeks-a-year hobby of mine ....btw, Tour de France 2014 is running from Saturday July 5th to Sunday July 27th

...pretty good score though. Second place at the Qix board I don't think you would have walked away with top place...I am 100% sure you'd have destroyed the competition Updated OP, DB, RSS, LB

Wow. Big score there !! ....first place in this GOTM edition. Nice one Stephen ...only 550 points more than ExedExes...almost too close to call The GOTM competition is about to get fierce !! I like it ....I'll try to join you guys Updated OP, DB, RSS

Nice improvement Rich I'd love to know how you do it. I can't seem to improve my game... Updated OP, DB, RSS

Hello everyone ! All rules, info, games and settings seem to be a bit scattered through all the pages of this thread. So, I felt the need to combine all the replies and write a summary. I think this pretty much covers everything. @ Wolf > If you want to copy / paste this info to post # 1, please be my guest ~ GC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS - Internet Gaming Bash of the Year July 1st - August 5th 1.

Scoreboard (explanation) Your Team's top five high scores (best score per player) on each game will earn you points for the contest Leaderboard. These top five qualifying scores are now ranked against the other sites top five high scores.

Nice score smario Sharing snapshots makes it more fun to watch the progress of Team GameEx. Thanks man

@ Wolf / TiF or anybody who cares to explain I am a bit confused about the scoreboard. If you don't submit a hi-score you'll automatically receive last place rank which equals 30 points (6 teams x 5 submission) The scoreboard still has to be updated with our submissions. Right now the scoreboard assumes we have no hi-scores submitted. Doesn't this mean we should have > 30 points x 5 hi-score submissions per game x 24 games = 3,600 points. We now have something like 1871 points ? Maybe I'm just too tired today to understand... ...anybody cares to explain ?
