I already posted this in the config section above, but I'll explain it here too, in case others haven't seen it there also... first of all copy this into notepad start/wait C:\Playstation\epsxe160\epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1 Exit and save as ePSXe.bat in your ePSXe folder (alongside the ePSXe.exe) use this config... [Emulator_2] Enabled=True STARTPAGENAME=Playstation TITLETEXT=Playstation StartPageLogo= ROMFilter=*.iso;*.bin;*.img RomsInFolders=False RomPath=C:\Playstation\Games SnapPath= WorkingPath=C:\Playstation\epsxe160 MapKeys=False WaitBeforeKeys= SendKeys= ReplaceDash=False ReplaceUnder=True Capitals=False RemoveBrackets=False ShowDesktop=False Debug=False MAPFile= AlsoLaunch= Command=ePSXe.bat "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" OLDatZip= You might need to open ePSXe beforehand and make it fullscreen. You'll also need the games as a iso/bin/img on the harddrive too

in the gameex.ini file (in config folder) at the "MameOptions" line for example: MameOptions=-skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo -skip_validitychecks -triplebuffer -nowindow -joy --------------------------------------------- Nice one Toonces - works great with mameplus too.

you could try setting up the 2nd mame (for specific games) as if it's another emulator... probably not exactly what your after though - you'll end up with 2 mame menus To do it, use gameex as normal for the main mame you want used, and for specific games with older mame versions (like MKII), make a .bat with something like this in it... @ECHO OFF C: CD "C:\mame\mame59" mame.exe outrun -rompath "C:\mame\ROMs\" -skip_disclaimer -skip_gameinfo of course change the paths and commands to suit yourself (the skip one's aren't needed for it to work). check out what Tom says about "launching PC games" with .bat files (in another thread) and set up the gameex config the same way. might be best to not use spaces in the .bat files names - I had some trouble running mame games when I had spaces (which I don't understand why) - other games with spaces worked (like N64). But anyway, this would make the games you want running with older mame versions in a different menu, like the other emulators, and without the extra info, but at least it'll work.

Got Project Tempest working, but it only works with version 0.82. (and maybe earlier version) I think versions 0.9 - 0.95 may not have the command line functions anymore. Unfortunately .82 is not as good as .95 for the game I've been testing (Alien Vs Predator). I've not tried any others, so don't how it compare to Virtual Jaguar with them - AVP is a bit slow in Virtual Jaguar too, when compared to the latest Project Tempest. It'll only work with unzipped roms (.jag). And the filenames can't use any spaces in them - couldn't get it to work with the full path name in the command line. [Emulator_1] Enabled=True STARTPAGENAME=Atari Jaguar TITLETEXT=Atari Jaguar StartPageLogo= ROMFilter=*.jag RomsInFolders=False RomPath=C:\Emulation\System\Atari\Jaguar\ROMs\Games SnapPath=C:\Emulation\System\Atari\Jaguar\Pictures\Front Cover WorkingPath=C:\Emulation\System\Atari\Jaguar\Emulators\PTv0.82 MapKeys=False WaitBeforeKeys= SendKeys= ReplaceDash=False ReplaceUnder=True Capitals=False RemoveBrackets=False ShowDesktop=False Debug=False MAPFile= AlsoLaunch= Command=pt.exe [RomFile] OLDatZip= The Project Tempest homepage for some reason doesn't have some of the older version to download, but you could try either of these links for v0.82... link 1 (auto downloads - if it doesn't, press "pobierz plik" button) link 2 (auto downloads)

This is probably not what you were wanting, but technically it should be possible, but it's a bit of work to do. It can be done for non-mame emulators using batch files, and having all the command line stuff in them (for each individual game). I don't know much about mame and haven't tried it, but I assume you could also do it with the same method. Takes a bit of time making the bat files though. See the thread 'launching pc games' where Tom says how to run them with bat files, and just use the same method for whatever game in whatever emu (with the extra command line stuff for it of course). I've also done this to combine DOS and Windows games in one menu - DOS games launching the dosbox emulator from a batch file, and windows games simply loading straight from the batch file. -edit- forgot to mention that emulators that need to use the 'send keys' thing to work probably wont work properly. And any using 'Map Keys' wont have the keys mapped, so you might need to exit those with ALT-F4. There's only about 2 using Send keys, and 1 with map keys, out of the downloadable configs though. Anyone know any ways around this?

I'm using GameEx in WinXP with 21" monitor set at 1600x1200 - don't have an arcade cab yet Thought it might save some scrolling as the text is fairly large, and also fit some of the longer game names in, but after messing around doing my own theme - I can't it might cause some problems to do this with the unselected/selected graphics etc. It's not a problem at all though. GameEx is awesome by the way, if I haven't said it already. Been looking for a progam like this for ages. Tried out Gamebase, but setting up and renaming every file for that is a pain in the ass, and even if you didn't have to do that, GameEx much better anyway.

awesome - cheers mate

Sorry to ask, but is it possible to change the font size for the main text in the game lists? I can't find where or how to do it, though I noticed one of the addon themes has smaller text.

This sounds great Tom. Would it also be possible to have a 'overall favourites' with all emus combined (incl. mame)? I've been making one already by using the method you suggested in the 'launching pc games' thread. An 'overall favorites' would save have a heap of time creating so many .bat files for my 'all time classics' section Using the batch files was an awesome suggestion too by the way - opens up heaps more options. cheers also with the screenshots - I've been using cover pics for my console games, and I've noticed some covers that are square (like cds, gameboy advance) get stretched horizonatlly, but not vertically, so it distorts the pic - seems to be when the original pic is smaller than what is displayed in GameEx - is there a setting to get around this? or if not, would it be possible to do this in the future?

Uploaded a config for running DOS games with DosBox, if anyone needs it for the older games.

Trying to set up WinVICE for Commodore 64 in GameEx - so far I've got it working no problems for 1 file/1 disk games, but havin some trouble with 2 discs... I explain where I'm up to so far (it's so damn close ) Using a Map file with the following... -8 Last_Ninja_2_Side_A.d64 -9 Last_Ninja_2_Side_B.d64|The Last Ninja 2 (spaces can't be used in any filenames) and this in the command line... Command=x64 [RomFile] it will show only one name in GameEx, but it loads 2 files - disc side a into drive 8, and side b into drive 9. (I have the disc files sitting in the winvice folder to for it to work too) The game will load up no problems and play through until I get to swap to disk side b, but winvice will try to load side b from drive 8, not drive 9, so the game crashes. I can see when winvice loads, that the command line is working, and that disc side b is definitely attached to drive 9. If I manually attach side b to drive 8 at the point swapping disks, it'll work fine. Obviously this is just a winVice thing not GameEx, but being unfamiliar with WinVice, hopefully someone here can help me out. There's a heap of command line options for winvice which I'll attach below... Winvice and all docs are available from here... http://www.viceteam.org/ here's my config if anyone wants it too (i'll upload a 1 disc only config sometime soon too as it's a bit easier than using the map files etc)...

There's is a "-autostart" command for winvice, but I'm having some trouble with this. It works on one disc, but having trouble on 2. hopefully someone can take this a bit further (or has already done it). I'm pretty much stuck here. Only started using command lines a few days ago after I came across the awesome GameEx. cheers. winvice_command_line_options.txt

Has anyone got any Atari Jaguar emus working through GameEx? Preferably 'Project Tempest', or if not, 'Virtual Jaguar'??? Cheers.
