I changed my email but I am not showing a lifetime member for the old version. Do I need to send my receipt email?
-
I don't use the emulator in question but always good to see more knowledge spread around! Is Yabause that good?
-
I tried databases, no dice... Tom or anyone who knows, how does the best match work?
-
OK, using Alien Trilogy on the Sega Saturn as an example - I used it earlier as a random game. I renamed the archive name from Alien Trilogy (U).zip to Alien Trilogy (USA).zip and it worked media wise but I will try a database and report back.

Very busy these days so I haven't had time to fire up the HTPC with work, school and now moving. Now, I have installed the codecs and that got some systems working - for whatever reason my Game Boy and Game Boy Color snaps needed them to work. I have not tried renaming my files within my archives (.zip, 7z etc) yet however I don't get how mame works when they have files within a archive. I wish the snap best match, well was tied to archive name but hmm maybe I need to try a database as I don't use any.

How does GameEX know how to play media for instance.... I'll use a Sega Saturn game, say Alien Trilogy: My archive name is "Alien Trilogy (U)" and the media file name is "Alien Trilogy (USA)" and yes my directories are correct for ISO's and media. Do my archives have to have the EXACT name? I do have "snap best match" I believe it is called enabled. Only Saturn and TG16 CD I have this problem, every other system is fine as far as I know.

I sort of have a wiimote working but I might try this.... may come in handy with mame or other gun games.

I've had AMD/ATI cards and never had much in the way of issues however always preferred nVidia... Although around 2008-2010 I preferred AMD but since the end of 2010 I've been nVidia all the way. I have a GTX 680 in my main PC, and a GTX 670 in my HTPC. I do wish I got a GTX 760 for the HTPC maybe would save a few bucks as I bought the smaller ASUS DirectCU Mini but it's actually a bit taller than thought but the length isn't long at all and sorta interferes with the height of my case a bit (can't use the stabilizing bracket so I can't stack anything on top of my case) plus I don't game too much. Maybe when the 860 comes out I'll upgrade the HTPC or something.

I had the worse luck in the world with Windows ME. Yuck. The less said the better! Never had any issues at all with XP but can't say that I miss it, been almost three years since I last used it but it lasted one hell of a long time. I remember when it FIRST came out and I was 14 years old everyone was talking mess about it and hating on it at first but six months later it really took off. I thought Windows 7 was the perfect evolution (Vista was horrible).

He's that young? Impressive. I think he makes a flash cart for the N64 also but the availability can be limited (64Drive I think it's called) but still cool to see.

OK, I personally use No Intro for my console roms... disc based systems I use Redump (PS1) or TOSEC (Sega CD) or some other misc collection someone put together (TG-16 and Saturn). In the time I've been through two HTPCs I haven't updated but maybe in the next few months I'll update my sets. MAME I rarely ever update. I have I think 0.14X something on my HTPC but my main PC I have 0.152 waiting to get moved over but I am too lazy right now. I haven't had much problems but I haven't updated in almost a year at this point but regardless I dunno what redump is missing for the US PS1 and I know the TOSEC Sega CD has a couple of errors for US games (I replaced the games that have problems with bin/cue rips). I have my GameEX/Emulator install pretty simple so once I install windows and GameEX I just need to do a few things and can get playing some games

I use 7Zip. However I used Peazip on my main computer to recompress everything to .zip and it works fine. It wasn't a huge deal. I don't have WinRAR on my spare computer and just 7zip (doubt latest version) and it opened the rar files fine.
-
I finally got back to repacking everything to .zip (no big deal, as I let it process while I was at work and sleeping) and it works now but RAR support may be broken as it was working before. :/
-
Are you sure you'll really see a difference? I was told the GTX 660 wasn't much slower (5-15%) than a GTX 580 (came out prior to PCI-E 3.0) while the 660Ti was on equal levels, trading blows with a GTX 580 but either way it sips power in comparison.

EA lets GOG offer Dungeon Keeper for free for 48 hours

I bought this when it first launched on their site, but glad they updated it to the Gold version... AMAZING game and bought the second one since it was so cheap on sale. -
Magic Engine- Boots to Magic Engine menu instead of game

Mednafen is easier to setup and there are front ends for it - I use them to help set it up and launch the games in GameEX. For Mednafen there's a great GUI called "MedGUI" and I think now it is called "MedGUI Reborn" but I use it to setup and config Mednafen how I want it (display, controls etc) and it's not any harder than seting up any emulator so as long as it's in the same folder as Mednafen.

With XP support ending, which OS will you use for GameEx/Evolution?
davidj1987 replied to tthurman's topic in General
Windows 7 x64.... I have professional on my main PC and home on my HTPC. -
Hmm. Odd, and yes the setting to use compressed archives is enabled. However is there a guide out there on how to recompress/pack rar files to .zip or .7z?
-
Just curious as I had some ISO's in RAR archives and they used to work but they stopped working, is RAR support broken in Gameex?
-
Maybe the graphics card died? I would try that. Just a heads up - very few if any new graphics cards have S-video/Component out. If you don't mind a lesser model you might be in luck to find something cheap as everything has HDMI these days with audio. I can't help with this situation much but I can tell you that HP for me was very stingy with a warranty. If this was found to be a fault of your own - which I am NOT saying this issue is, HP will charge you out the wazoo to get fixed. In 2008 I had a $500 laptop where the screen broke and they wanted to charge me $800 to get a new one installed. I went on eBay and paid $60 for a new screen.

I was a year old when this aired... My girlfriend wasn't born until May of 1989!

I have about a 3-6C difference at the most and again the system isn't loud unless I get really close, about three feet away I can't hear it at all at the lowest settings. If the motherboard software wasn't bad, I'd have enough room (no joke) to plug all the fans in the motherboard maybe neatening up wiring but again the software wasn't very good and had the same effect (goes down to 40%).
-
I didn't want to remove the motherboard so thought zipties would be the next best thing to mount it but I thankfully had 15mm fanscrews with the case so I stuck it out and did it that way even though it was 30+ minutes to take the MB out and screw the fan in - I have it as an exhaust. Attached some pics. I included a picture on the side. The side 80x15mm fan is hard to see but it's there. It's a popular fan replacement for the SFX 450W PSU from Silverstone used in the Steam Machine beta and I have the non modular version in another system and I don't think it's that bad but I'm not terribly picky but the fan is $20 so just a heads up if you buy the PSU and want to replace the fan. The fan controler fits great and you can't turn off the LED lighting but that's OK I usually have the 5.25 bays covered with the door 99% of the time. It ramps the fans to around 40% and it's REALLY quiet when at 40% and the noisest fan is the noiseblocker fan. However the 92mm Noctua's are 92x14mm and not too loud but low a LOT of air. Video of the fan replacement:
