Just to check - there's currently no facility or easy work around for this at the moment? An example would be A GE menu item such as "Tekken Games" which then takes you to a list of all cross-platform tekken games (Tekken2 - PSX, Tekken 5 - PS2 etc). Before I embark on another little (!?) plugin project EDIT: Thought I'd turn this into a dev log - hopefully could attract people to coding I didn't know a thing about coding 18 moths ago. Now I know just a fraction more than nothing!

Hmmm... curious. Do me a favour - post your logs as attachments rather than code. And keep game browsing in system to a minimum when re-creating problems - saves trawling through 'game selection changed' Have another good look at it + come back to me if not sorted. Dont forget if you update via drag the plugins folder, this will replace your ini and xml file too. Best route is just replace the dll

Got it. Thanks: C:\GameEx\DATA\data.db3 + ouch - a custom favourites lists plugin might be sooper-dooper-complicated. or maybe not...

Trawled through the GameEx folder - can't find an ini or cfg file anywhere. GUessing it's not in the registry. List, oh list - where art thou?

@Kustom Kid Try this: Update 1.2.2 Fixed freeze on game exit bug

That's a brilliant idea, Draco. New folder created in the Collaborative folder called "Source." Demon source-ers (like tthurman) can shove their sourced images in there. Some suggested preferences: The game logo part of the image should be larger than 400px wide (unless screen grab/pixel art is unavoidable) If you can get the logo on a solid colour background, you get a free Mars Bar. (any others?) Also, if you can save your image as the game name. E.g. in GameSetMatch, the mame rom names: So, in example above, if you've found a source for Air Race, save it as "airrace.png" in the Source folder. If your saving an alternative version, just suffix with "_x" where x is a number. E.g. airrace_1.png would be the first alt version. You can also use GameSetMatch for Source files. Just set up "Cloud Folder" as below:

thats a gracious shout out, kustom. In all reality, the skill set to do this would probably take you an hour to learn and a further hour to practice. you can also do it for free. Just in case you wanted to give it a go....im happy to knock together a tutorial video if theres not one from googling "removing background, gimp"

Pah. Wheres the commitment? Wheres the passion and dedication!? I expect 10 logos per week from 10 members immediately. Only joking. People have busy lives and its a hobby full of consumers. I accept the apathy and expectations that someone else will do it. However, I do worry that without promotion and encouragement, it could disappear into project obscurity. Night helped with a great start, and your mobilisation has inspired but it shouldnt be down to us 3 to do it all. You do enough here already, dude! I wonder if theres some kind of system for member types to recognise those that contribute content. That may motivate. Also, Ive posted before about job board post where people wanting to contribute coild go ans pick up a role. For example, im also goign to be starting a marquees project soon. Lets match the talent to the needs.

Thanks for letting me know + will take a look at. Looks like there's gremlins afoot @ 21:29:47.985 - shall get my blunderbuss out.

Update V0.9.2 Altered Support App launches. Prior to game, they now launch each on their own thread. Also 500ms delay between launch neccessitated. Added running emu check on close. Ammended the FTP settings script download Added function to move the database xml to another location + warning not to dual map Added Cloud Dummy Extention funciton - e.g. with BitTorretn Sync - treats placeholder files as roms (Gemvoy ignore specified extention) Added 0 GE emus check V0.9.3 Fixed Add Game in config causing fullfilepath error Added Strip Brakets text option to Autogamename Fixed various errors around special characters in Edited gamename Download from link in 1st post.

That looks very very cool.

I wouldn't worry too much about using the newer version. They've finally sorted it all out so it works OK now. I've had latest installed for a long time and haven't seen the gates of Hades open up yet.

Or there's CPWizBiz - bit more complicated as it creates dynamic content on the fly: https://cpwizbiz.codeplex.com/

How easy was the BitTorrent Sync part, Draco?

Well - it's all set up, but I sure as hell aint gonna be doing this on everyone else's behalf. I wont rant on again about givers and takers.

Draco - yer a star! So, plugged "[Arcade] Arcade (Mame).db3" into GameSetMatch and used GoodName + voilà, the task has gone from: Total Entries: 9742Matched: 2760No. of orphans: 6982 to: Total Entries: 4866 Matched: 3580 No. of orphans: 1286 I'm thinking by the time you've removed all the Mahong and Quiz - there's probably about 1000 logos to find. I'm also thinking some of these are going to be differently named roms (for e.g. 18wheels :: 18 Wheeler + 18wheelr :: 18 Wheeler Deluxe being a variation on 18w) for logos that already exist. It's do-able! If you had 10 people doing 10 logos per week, we'd have made the full mame set within 10 weeks. Cmon troopers - I know we have busy lives, but that's do-able.

1 more. I'd forgotten how addictive this is!

Two more. You were right, Draco - a lot on the list is pinball, quizmachines etc. Any way to get a custom mame XML?

2 down. 6980 to go...

1 down. 6981 to go. Scrappy but will look fine at 400px

I have no idea which ones are those outliers. But spiriting thought. Yeah. Apparel night came from the hs set. Managed to source a handful more. Lets see how people go sourcing any other sets. Aside from that, one step at a time.

Here's your set, Draco. Sadly, couldn't find any additional to those already available: Done a quick scout round the interweb. Looks like there are no other game logo sets available? That feels like really bad news - meaning we have to make 6982 logos!?

Absolutely. As per previous post - think we should try and preserve original as close as possible - hence the "unadulterated" set. However, as previous - think we should allow some tarting up of 8 bit screen grabs etc. Running your set through GSM now...

The results are in. The 3 FTP sets merged. And the bad news is: Run on: 2016/05/06 22:10:30 Setup: GameLogos Mame Live Total Entries: 9742 Matched: 2760 No. of orphans: 6982 Orphans are Mame Games without a matching image (also - this cuts out dupes as well - e.g. diff versions of a game). Full missing games list attached. GameLogos Mame Live_Missing.txt Can't believe 18 Wheeler's missing! That's gotta be made!
