this did it. Moved out of folder and tested on two tables that were having the issue tonight! Than ks! SOLVED!!!!!

Cannot believe I have not requested this before. Alien Syndrome!

My 1st attempt... 9,900. I plan to play a couple more times as this score is horrible

Finally hooked everything up to my cabinet and when in PBX I still get that freeze 5-15 seconds into the game when running a table in PBX. No issues when running table in Visual Pinball. Sorry to bring this back but it is far more annoying having to grab the mouse everytime i start a new table in PBX. Keep in mind once I do it one time for the table it works ok until I leave the table in PBX and then come back into it. So bizarre.

Yeah I agree with HAN. I get you a being a little snarky and with this forum it is all in good fun, I hope. Obviously though, some people like this game that is why it received so many votes...am I a fan...not sure...never played. - but when these get out of the way then games you really enjoy will start getting voted on.

Hopefully without the slowdown

I tried for about an hour on 31st and couldn't get past beebop ....LOL Congrats to the winner!

Play with friends

It will don't worry, The game itself is memorable BUT not one I care to really play by myself. This is meant to be played with friends, hence the 2-4 player setups...so it is tougher for me to get excited to play a game like this on my own.

24...Yeah! I do not enjoy playing this on my keyboard...ill give it another whirl once cab is out of storage.

I want to play, not that I was ever any good, but time is short - The one drawback to having months to play is the procrastinators(like me) in the group will wait until like week 6 before I give it a shot

Floyd Turbo....what a cool handle and welcome to the group!

ok thanks

Oh man, sorry to hear about your loss, Draco.

I did some more investigating last night. Below is my custom menu and which ones work and which ones act weird. The Arcade - MAME - Works as expected - Mame v190 - works as expected - Mame v175 - works as expected - Mame v129 - Does the weird layout - High Score Competition - Works As expected - Alli's Games - Works as expetced - Rich's Top 10 - works as expected The Consoles - NES - does weird layout - SNES - does weird layout - Genesis - does weird layout - TG16 - does weird layout - TGCD - does weird layout Keep in mind that all of the menu items have a "Game List" Menu item that points to the emulator I have setup for each of them. So Mame v190 has an emulator setup in GameEx named MAme v190 and so on. The top MAme list is not an emulator but the default mame list thingy...thing Funny thing is I am consolidating my lists and I think I might remove the Consoles from my list and remove v129 all together...but it still bugs me it behaves this way.

I have two ports only on my cabinet and always found I could only be the left two Turtles. It is based on where the quarter is put in...i am pretty sure. There may be a two player rom out there that lets you select but I never investigated.

is there a setting in the wizard that hides bios roms from being listed for Emulators? I know the Main Mame one does...or do i just have to hit delete on each of them inside of GameEx>

I did not make any changes to the theme itself until I tried fixing this issue this week and it is just moving the date field around like i mention a little bit further down in this post.. The issue has been happening for sometime and I was on Windows XP...so I thought now that this is on Windows7 it would work better. But it does not. I do use custom menus with this. To me it is like GameEx is seeing a conflict of some sort and going to to a non"Default Layout" Like my first screenshot above. But it still applies the custom background and foreground I have in place for those emulators\pages. I was thinking if I knew which Layout it was applying(I show like 30 of them in my theme including "layout" which is my second screenshot....then I could just eidt whichever one it is calling as a work around. But I have tried editing like 15 of them...thinking I could find which layout it is loading...but alas none of those changes seem to matter.

It was uploaded to this site a few years back. "Time Machine v#.##" if you want to pull it from here. If not I can upload it to my dropbox when I get home.

Hey All, I created a custom theme awhile back and it seems to work fine except when loading console emulators layout inside GameEx itself. The games play fine and everything but the Layout for the desctipion, image1, image2 etc are all whacked. Whacked = not what I have the layout to look like. So I verified my "Layout" that has all the various things listed are set as I like and again that seems to work for all my MAme emulators. Something is causing the Default Layout not to load correctly. Does anyone know what layout GameEx goes to if there is a problem. I figure if I modify that layout it will be a good work around. I attached what the default layout looks like...and the layout that loads for my emulators. I have tried tweaking various layouts for the emulators but it doesnt make a difference with this issue for some reason.

Man these 2 months went FAST! Congrats to the winner...good round, again.

Ok I will do that! Thanks for the quick response./

Trying to build a Win7 GameEx box and I cannot remember where I put my license key. Anyone know where we put it in window's explorer? If I know that I should be able to find from my old WinXP box. Thanks
