    Yer dont ask for much, brad, huh? on a few: 2. Headkaze is working on an integrated cp display for evo. In the mean time, I believe you already know about my frankenstein of an app that can do this...https://cpwizbiz.codeplex.com/ 3. As latter, above. You can also achieve this for MAME with CPWizard. Its in the settings... 4. Check out the MarqueeMasher plugin, again knocked together by me, sorry - not hideously self promoting, but trying to help with solutions. This doesn't rotate though, although shouldn't be too hard to code. http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/17017-plugin-marquee-masher/ 11. This already exists - someone pointed it out to me recently. Think it's in Other Programs and Features or something. You also have to enable it in GE settings. Do a forums search. Hope this helps!

    Thanks Dazzle - always wondered about the mysterious GIMP fart on load sometimes. Yer right - it's when you add a font - seems to make GIMP's wheels fall off...

    Just took her for a spin. Spot on. Great contribution.

    OK, OK, OK. Mirrors... good idea! Think I've found my next project! Oh, after my pincab.... http://www.wsgf.org/article/zero-bezel-mirror-box-eyefinitysurround-youtube-conclusions Or maybe make this:

    I'd ask fellow Winkawakkas on any Winkawak forums about this - it seems like an emulator specific issue?

    Many happy returns king of schmups. May your reactions be sharp and your trigger finger rapid....

    At least if Tom Hanks finds himself on a desert Island again, he'll have something to keep him busy aside from a crappy, cheap football.

    Good thinkin' batman.

    Damn - that's a polished product - even down to the cool branding on the box! Kudos to these guys - love people who take pride in the detail... And yer not allowed to open it till xmas day, Tom, OK? After the smaller presents...

    Stop blaspheming my love of Christmas Pincab's next - after I've taken a sabbatical and found a wife...

    I wasn't that big on Dragon's Lair. I remember it being hellish expensive for 1 go (was it 50p? or maybe even a whole pound!) and the gameplay being crap ("push left at 4.3 seconds, or cut to you falling into a hole.."). The characters were cool, though - maybe it should have started as a film and ended as a cell-shaded PS2 title?

    Thanks Null. Hopefully, that should be the last bit of coding for a while. It's taken me a year to get the things I needed up and running (dynamic game-specific controls and marquees) and also the support apps behind them to make it worthwhile. I haven't been outside for a year, I'm the colour or porcelain (pushing pewter) and I have permanently red eyes (the latter being an actual fact!). I'm starting to scare people at work (a non-IT profession!) Hopefully now the nice business of sourcing and co-coordinating assets to get the cab all 'bostin' I'll start some separate threads in the Media forum if anyone wants to help out with image-set a-making.

    Me and my big mouth! That was a PITA to fix. Was all around the SQLite.dll, nuget and clickonce. However, all fixed now and you can use GSM fully with the GameEx databases now. Point GSM to a GE db file (in GameEx>DATA>EMULATORS) then choose a field to process images by. I'm still not clear on how GameEx and EmuMovies interface when dowloading/renaming/saving images, so not sure which convention or gamename are used when saving auto-downloaded images. Also, what format emu movies stores its images in (I'm suspecting various depending on system). You can either do it by trial and error (just select different standards and click go), or examine the db3 files directly, using this nice app: http://sqlitebrowser.org Example working setup below: Have fun.

    An application to manage game related image sets. Specifically designed for collaborative efforts via cloud services, but can also be used individually with local folders only. Basically, it parses info from any game .dat/.xml/.db3 files, pulls a specified field for game/image names in your assets folder then presents a GUI to compare and move around images matched to the games between 3 folders Screenshots Video Download https://gamesetmatch.codeplex.com/ Hoping it makes the whole business of image sets a bit more manageable. Tthurman, dude - hopefully the end of messing about with that horrendous spreadsheet! We should just plug in Flash's list and should be golden Just gotta bug-shoot GE db3 files now. Reading them fine on my local machine, but something gets lost in deployment. Sure it won't be a biggie... Hope of use....

    So - in a hobby full of intelligent, resourceful and capable men - why the hell can't we just agree on one bloody standard for a single game name? grrrrrr

      Heh - yeah I remember you posting that before. How about we drop the other 13 and use the GameEx standard?

      May be it needs a female touch? It's well known that males have clouded minds, mainly due to our naturally driven urges, but women are not burdened like this - they are organised and methodical by nature, some might agree even too methodical...

      I think we may have met very different women, Dazzle! :D

    Meh. I have a hacksaw, some little g-clamps and an 'ammer. Oh and a 6ft x 4ft shed. Great product + kudos for you guys for making a go of presumably what started out as a hobby and a passion. So.... driving cab next, Tom? Or maybe a custom built shooter cab.
  17. stigzler
    Looks fab - very polished + nice finish. Hope it has a safe trip to Blighty And bloody hell - how expediently did that thing get put together. I'm coming up to nearly 2.5 years on my build, and it still hasn't got plexi or sideart on Hope you enjoy, Tom - worthy payoff for all those long hours coding.
  18. stigzler
    OK... so not very constructive at all...apologies. Maybe start of with something simple like pcsx-r, zssnes or even ppsspp - they'll give a good intro.

    Cracking rig. It looks like you're gonna have to get a bucket full of quarters too.

    It's not too late to turn back..... ....otherwise, prepare for a real unhealthy addiction! Welcome.

    Whoa - "Official Licensee" sounds very cool. Are they posting it over? Might blow Royal Mail's gasket that!
  23. stigzler
    Your loss, dude.....I guess Sidebar will do for now.. all looking good.

    Who's making it?
