I'm not in front of my cab, but I could have sworn that home is a combination of buttons (select and back for me). I don't remember mapping home to anything in my custominput.ini file (of course, it has been a while). A quick search of the forum produced the following thread where Tom discusses the Button 0 problem... Basically, make sure you haven't removed or commented out ANYTHING in the custominput.ini file. Also, don't reorder it as that might also be a problem.

Well, it's possible that it isn't. If you have GameEx set up to only show perfectly emulated games and MAME doesn't perfectly emulate the game, then it won't show up...even if model2 can do it with the new version. The only way to have it in there would be to either turn off that setting or to put it in the don't filter list. So, yeah...just do what you were going to do.

AWE CRAP! Boobs always seem to screw up a good thing...

The games that are in the new model2 engine but not recognized as such in GameEx should still be available in the main MAME list. They just won't show up in the model2 list or load with model2 is all. They should still load and play in MAME.

I haven't put the time in to learn AI and only know a bit of AHK. Thanks for picking up the slack

I'm sure it won't work, but give it a try with quotes: "-VICIIdsize" Or, another option is to write it as a wrapper. Make a batch file called x64.bat for example: x64.exe -autostart -VICIIdsize -fullscreen %1 Then call the batch file rather than the actual executable: x64.bat "[RomPath]\[RomFile]" If it doesn't like a batch file, you could definitely go with an AHK script that does the same thing and then compile it to an executable (x64launcher.exe): Run, x64.exe -autostart -VICIIdsize -fullscreen %1% WinWaitClose, x64 Then it would be: x64launcher.exe "[RomPath]\[RomFile]"

Actually, I was starting to wonder as well. Hopefully he went somewhere warm to relax with a cold beverage!

WOW! Thanks, I'll give this a try when I get time (hopefully this afternoon).

I was able to get mine to work just by clicking the trigger on one side of the screen, moving it to the other side (horizontally for x-axis), and clicking again. Repeat for y-axis and for second gun. I would have reported back with this info, but it was in many tutorials for setting up guns way back when so I figured with no more activity in this thread for a while, you might have already figured it out... My bad!

But if you reorder the emus, won't it just put that emulator right back in the bad slot?

So what is required to compile other versions of MAME? I keep wanting to switch over to MAME Plus!, but every time I get to it, I find a reason to stay with vanilla (like all of this stuff being disabled).

GameEx has a list of games that are supported by the Model2 engine. The engine was upgraded a few months back to include command line support as well as new games. The new engine works just like the old one in GameEx, but I don't think anything inside of GameEx has been updated. As a result, it still launches with the wrapper, which is unnecessary (but not really a problem). More importantly though, the newly supported games will not run with the engine since GameEx doesn't know there is support for them. I don't know how complicated this would be to fix, but it hasn't been very high on Tom's priority list. I don't think there are that many people who have asked for it, so it's not likely to be updated any time soon. If you really want the new games supported, then I suggest adding a request for it in the "Features Request" thread.

EVERYBODY OUT!!!!! IT'S A BOMB!!!

I don't think you can send anything to the system tray unless it's designed to go there. If it is, then I doubt that the minimize command would send it to the system tray unless it was set to minimize there. Basically, that command should just tell the program to minimize and it will decide what the correct action is.

I would prefer that the fields contain a common value such as <NONE> or something that won't match another value. You could even put in a space for now, but it would be harder to see if you were manually looking through the data.

Circo's new set has 2 sets in 1. He includes Hi Quality and Standard Quality videos.

Oh...well never mind then

I don't think there is any way to reorder that screen. I have wondered the same thing, but have come up with no answers as of yet. This is something that might be nice to have, so I would suggest adding it in the features request section.

"Launch on startup don't wait" will launch one process and then the other without waiting for the first to load and exit. As a result, you will get cpwizard and MAME launching at the same time in a race. I don't know what GameEx will do with the first one, but I imagine that it will minimize one of them. In any case, I suspect what you really want is for the CPWizard to launch to show the keys, then when you hit a button, kill it and launch MAME, right? If so, then you don't want "launch on startup don't wait", you want "launch on startup wait". This will wait until CPWizard is exited before it launches MAME.

If the emulator doesn't support those files in an archive, the two choices are using another emulator that does or extracting the archives to a folder.

Correct, 7zip support is a registered user feature.

You don't have to do it manually. If you need a value in a field that's blank in an mdb and the value is constant, you can easily just use an update query to pull all the rows that are blank and update them to whatever value you want...

Yeah, I know what you meant. I'm just dreading the amount of time I have to wait with the cab running. I don't leave it on all the time and I'm guessing the wife would question it. I suppose there are other ways to do it like running a hard line from the router to the cab to set it up and then going wireless for the update. I'll have to think about it...

I don't think that's possible through GameEx. I think he must mean via xpadder or AHK.

you are supposed to be able to kill xpadder with an argument (xpadder.exe /C as I recall), but I've never tried it. I know that using tskill works just fine. tskill xpadder
