That's where M.E.D. originates from Sorry, your Majesty, in case you're reading.

These are prime examples of people who suffer from M.E.D. in the UK. It's a very serious affliction, particularly affecting people from privileged and comfortable backgrounds... Yes siree bob, Middle England Disorder can be a nasty condition indeed. Crucibles full of neuroses, performance anxiety and the perpetual drive to keep up with the Joneses You might have to be British to spot it, although all you have to do is watch any Monty Python for a primer in what to watch for. Clue: in the video - did you notice the fake, plastered smiles and feigned happiness? Beneath lie seething demons of passive aggressiveness and hatred for their fellow men. Oh, I'm sorry, wrong meeting!

Quote: "The British sense of humour can also form a stumbling block; in many cases, it tends to work on ironic understatement and dry wit that can easily fly under the radar of people who aren't used to it." I have no idea what this chap is on about...

Cheers, A. What software do you use to pick out the best? I can never remembet with goodnamed.. is "!" the best or "a"?

Evenin. So, stumbled across this today. It appears that if you use the MergeSets feature for an emulator, it breaks seeing videos for the game on the game browser screen (where you select a game, not the game info screen). For example, you may have a set of: Atlantis (1982) (Activision) [!].a26 Atlantis (1982) (Activision) [a1].a26 Atlantis (1982) (CCE) [!].a26 Atlantis (1982) (Imagic) (PAL) [!].a26 "MergeSets" very helpfully amalgamates these into one Game Browser entry "Atlantis." However, you only get the title screen on the game browser screen, but if you navigate to "Atlantis (1982) (Activision) [!].a26" on the game info screen (to launch the game) you see the vid. Examination of the video folder reveals one video file entitled "Atlantis (1982) (Activision) [!].a26" auto downloaded. Is there any way to get any video from the game mergeset running on the game browser screen. Guess it could be arbitrary if there's more that one, as in most instances, they'll likely just be dupes of the same goodname game. I did find a workaround but it's very clumsy; time and diskspace consuming. If you run it without MergeSets enabled, it downloads vids for all goodname variations. However, it does seem like an awful waste of disk-space and wonder if the above would be better? Vid below shows what I'm on about. It shows the non-merged sets scenarios first, then the problem scenario: Anyone any ideas?

This is my favourite bit: "Bye Jane [plastered smile]"

My formative years...

All of a sudden your "bullet hell" fascination makes sense! Enduring waves of relentless attacks and battling on through them... Pain sucks. I can't begin to imagine what lifelong plain is like. Tthurman pre-empted the words I'd usually use - keep on truckin, fella!

V1.0.8 New Feature: Background ambience + music Added Background music function. Choose pages you want BG music to play on. Control this via PLaylist skip and track skip hotkeys or just plays randomly.

Retroarch does it:

Depending on the set, it may be easier to pm someone about conventionally named sets? It's likely easier to construct a new set than to fuzzy match all your off-piste roms to conventional image names. Failing that, I dunno if you could use this I made for matching image sets to FrontEnd database game names. I can't remeber how it works now, but you might be able to point one of the directories towards roms rather than images and then maulally rename your roms to common standards: https://gamesetmatch.codeplex.com/

Yerp - Marquee Masher does static images only. CPWizBiz, however, does videos/flash/gifs/scrollers etc. However, might be limited for changes to occur in GE as select different games. More for when you launch games (it constructs them on the fly on each run). I'd be interested in what LCD he's using

Linux is painful but cute.

That's aces.

Oh. Ok.

huh?

Is this Type X games? @SIMPLY_AUSTIN covered a new launcher for these platforms. Don't know if of any use:

I was watching a GDC talk by David Crane (Pitfall). He explained that the Atari 2600 was designed only to play slightly more advanced games than Pong. The way it works if you have two user "sprites" and one "ball" (read: pixel) on any one scan line. It was really just meant to be a Pong+ machine! Happy accident for Atari man.

lol @ the "[Resolved]" status.

errrrrr.... *whistles

Yes, but you also contribute, Draco and you're a talented moderator. This all came from a middle-aged-man-rant about these youbend stars who think they're the mutt's nuts merely for buying something, sticking it on a table and using superlatives and uneducated/uninformed judgements about stuff they don't really understand. Take this guy for e.g: Knows bugger all about material science/the longevity of the object he's a purported educated critic of. Problem being it now takes you 30 minutes of clicking on videos to find decent reviews because of clowns like this guy. Buying stuff =/= Talent Damn, I'm off again.

You know it Adultery. My blood ruins blue and orange..

Oh no my good man, you are an indisputable contributor. They do look snazzy, but I wanna see inside and how they work! If you buy one, post some pics...

What men will do to try and get themselves conscious of the weather..... Boils down to this: "Cortana...do I need a jacket?" "Yes"

Oh that was half volume! It's the passion of a middle aged man, seeing younger fellas thinking they're stars for doing essentially nothing. Like buying a box containing a disk and putting it on a shelf. All these bedroom reviewers too - get given something; 'review' it using words like "awesome" and "i love these guys" (when referring to inanimate objects) then slapping them on youtube thinking they are talented/stars. Horrendous end products of free market economics and materialism. Buying stuff does not equal talent/worth. OK. I'm done now. Back to feeding baby orphaned birds with tiny milk pipettes.
