  1. It's really Flash animations I'm after - not specifically for GameEx (although I'm sure a collection of these somewhere may prove useful for Evo) more for a project. Had a look in emu movies - no dice.
  2. Oh... and dont forget AVirus software. Nod32 has an specific version for whs2013. Not vrry often I fork out for av software,but feels vital on your server.
  3. For me, im not too confident with netwotking stuff. So having a winodows server os just felt like it mihht make setups a little easier. Plus, my media playef boxes , wdtvlive are setup with windows network shares. Tbh, I quite like whs2011 when used with stablebit. Its better than v1 and very stable
  4. No deal. I like Base 10. It makes more sense. Additionally, you guys can have the word "empathetic" back. We will in return keep Piers Morgan here so you don't have to suffer him again. And you can keep Morrissey.
  5. If I was downloading a lot of content, I would happily contribute. However, just looked through the site, and can't make head nor tail of it. Everything seems to be split into "wheels" and "systems" - god knows! Seems to be no way of knowing whether there's going to be any .swf in any downloaded themes/wheel/systems/game/whutever-bloody-else!! So - you have to download each one on the off chance and there's thousands. How frustrating. Some guys must be taking ages to makes some of the nice ones I've managed to get hold of, but to bury them in one front-end's repositories (fnart fnar) just seems so short sighted. I think it's beyond any partisanship, but there's just something about HS that annoys me. Hope Evo's media library trumps this - split into image/videos/animations etc. Down with Hierarchy - long live Tags!
  6. - where the hell do you get them from? You know - like all those in Hyperspin + the one on the GEEvo video (Moon Patrol) Done a google search - just cant figure out how to get hold of them. Do you have to be part of the Illuminate to get access to HS media stuff or something?
  7. I upgraded my EX495 to WHS2011 a year or so ago. Will help if I can. Lots of text there, Hans... what's the question?
  8. Wb Blacktiger and looking forward to following your build. Lovely bit of retro-80s Black Ash on that bad boy.
  9. 20 Points in it Exed... cummon man.... plenty of fish-oil, fruit and water. Plug yourself into the mains, get that adrenalin running and knock that "MARP" into the back of beyond, man. What kind of a bloody name is "MARP" anyway - I bet he's cheating too. Do him.
  10. New Release - 0.6.5.0 Added AutoClear settings option: - clears mame.cfg files on running CRGUI via command line. - option to backup the files before deletion - used as blunt measure to ensure mame.cfgs don't supersede controls in ctrlr.cfg - if you're looking to maintain none control .cfg data - clear controls by hand. Usual place: https://controllerremapgui.codeplex.com/releases/view/616187 Explanation of concepts behind this: https://controllerremapgui.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Setting%20up%20Per-Game%20Settings&referringTitle=Documentation
  11. Just discovered Twitch. Not that I'm planning to sit and watch people play games, but dammit - will things please stop becoming possible!? So, your game on one monitor, netplay and your co-ops gameplay on another via twitch. Couple with a Cab-cam and you got some mad gaming....must....stop....

  12. Whoa. Just noticed yer no.1 superhero has made the international google front page. tthurman, dude, it's your day! I've gone to the unprecedented step of declaring the 7th July "International tthurman day" and have created a recurring GameEx Calendar entry to that effect! Sadly, it's gone for approval, so it could end up in Tom's filing cabinet (read: bin). Unless the motion gets passed by the GameEx Council, by which we will all be required to holler "SCCHHUUWWAATTCCHH!!" ever July 7th.
  13. International tthurman Day 7th July, 2015 The day on which tthurman's No.1 Japanese Superhero made the front page of Google: Henceforth to be called "International tthurman Day" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraman
  14. My god... why didn't this ever come to the UK!? Ultraman's absolutely bonkers! From a unique imagination for sure: Scuwatch!
  15. Blimey. You don't ask for much do you!?.... Short answer is "No." It's for Mame and you have to go to the effort of plugging the controllers you need in before you spark up the game. That's down to the way ControllerRemap functions. Not sure it can be done tbh - it would depend so much on the design of each emulator. EDIT: I think your best bet, Felix would be to contact all the different developers of all the different emulators and ask them to incorporate this feature.
  16. Wtg! Top of the leaderboard! Whoa that dudes got some mad skillz.
  17. Well certainly sounds doable. Mapping your cab buttons will be ok, you just need a keyboard hook class. Plenty about. Dunno whats in the sdk, but if you have a dll or class to manage output then youll be golden.
  18. It sounds as good as any to start on, but wondering if it'll depend on what I/O board you're using. I don't know much about hardware interfaces, but this might be a tricky bit. I'd start with the game logic - that shouldn't be too difficult. From (painful) experience, I'd start with Visual Basic (either C# or VB.net - the latter's a little more beginner friendly) via Visual Studio Express (Free!). Then you could practice the game logic using timers, arrays and randoms via a form application. Place some buttons on a form and voila! Simon. Then you'd just have to do the (potentially, although not sure) difficult bit of turning a change form-button event to a light LED event instead. EDIT: And if you want to cheat, here's a small bit of vb.net that runs simon: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?705623-vb-net-Simon Main thing this shows is it isn't a huge bit of code - break it/add to it/examine it and it;'ll give you a feel for vb.net. Good luck, brother!
  19. Hang on... that's not the Twin Galaxies is it!? If so - you guys are up against some stiff competition! Cummon fellas!! Sock it to 'em. I've got ever faith in the gamers of the GE crew!
  20. I wouldn't wish us on anybody these days - it was a wise decision to invite the Brits to "do one..." So congratulations to our American cousins over the pond and enjoy the day (I sure as hell would be mullered if I could gain my own independence from the UK!) Have a 'Kegger,' a 'Hirchee' and a game of 'Beer Pong' for me. Oh, but please do start spelling 'colour' correctly.
  21. Funny thing is, the youngsters I see in my line of work are fantastically disaffected, cynical, savvy and effective. Nothing like those air-brushed prima-donnas and Primo oumos. It takes all kinda instruments to make an orchestra (including frogs for a frog chorus) but cummon! Is this crap really still being peddled to our yoofs as the way they should be? "Just smile, think you're pretty and give us your taxes..." Just don't peak behind the curtain, kids....... it's ugly. Heh - sorry. /rant Gawd I'm becoming a miserable old git!
  22. Ahhh... the young and the beautiful just intoxicated on life, their own prospects and blissful in their sense of infinite potential and joy. Bastards.
  23. Very cool. Like null - love those folder metal corners + also love that 'ball launcher' Looks like hours of fun
  24. I did wonder about the repository change - having noticed that all the theme files have been moved. Exciting news indeed: feels like the 'tidy up the woodshop' jobs before revealing your latest commission.
  25. There we are - Draco's nailed it! I do still wonder whether it's like trying to do a cheerful whistle in a Tornado, though! (that's the polite euphemism)
