Yeah, that would definitely be a better picture quality, but not everyone has dual video outputs. Actually, I do, but it was easier when I was setting things up to just use a splitter since the second display wouldn't have existed. In this case, using an adapter might work just as well like you are suggesting.

If you are referring to bands on the side of your screen (if you have a widescreen display), then you need a theme that is built for widescreen displays If your monitor is standard 4:3 display, it should fill the screen just by setting "Full Screen" in GameEx which I think is default.

Yeah, that's it. Text/Language. I knew it was simple and easy to do

But Nebula isn't built into the GameEx engine like Zinc or Model 2...

My first blush is that you are running a file that closes after it launches your emulator. In that case, GameEx will see the first program end and not realize that there is still another program (the emulator) that is still going. Your overall goal is to have GameEx realize that it is till running until you close the emulator. I would be more helpful if I fully understood what your specific config is. Perhaps one of the other guys can help out solving the problem...

Since this is all within GameEx, why can't the request just be to have GameEx update the list whenever you reorder or add emulators? Or delete emu's as well. This shouldn't be a major task. If an emulator is moved or removed and there are favorites associated with it update the list of favorites to change "Emu 2 Game 11" to "Emu 3 Game 11". This is something that is probably just an oversight anyway...

I thought if you hit the credit button, it was supposed to play the game without exiting. Thing is, sometimes it exits anyway. Thoughts?

OH HOLLY HELL!!! That is just too easy. Where is my dunce cap when I need it

I have had this same problem periodically, but I don't know what is currently causing it. Sometimes when I start the machine up, it will launch into GameEx no problem. Other times, it will start GameEx and within a couple of seconds drop to windows with GameEx minimized. There is no error, just shows the desktop for some reason. The only thing I can think is that something else is stealing the focus for some reason. But, this is a dedicated cab with no other programs running. So, it must be either JoyToKey starting up too slow, or my script that calls WinLIRC that is finishing up slow... I wish it was more consistent.

This has been in the feature requests for a while. As of right now, I don't think there is any way to do this. I had some spotty results using AutoHotKey, but was not impressed enough to keep it on my cab (but then again, I don't really know how to code in AHK).

Well, I don't know if I would say "no quality", but the quality lost will be much less apparent if you are using svideo. If you are using composite and you use a cheap splitter, you may see a quality loss. But, you are already using crappy connections anyway, so who cares Actually, I use an svideo splitter in my cab to give me a signal to send to my guns. I did a bit of testing (since I was concerned about the same quality loss), and I found it was imperceivable. Keep i mind that svideo splitters are a bit hard to come by. I got mine from RadioShack online. Good luck!

I may just try installing the regular drivers without the extra garbage and see how that goes. I noticed the newest Catalyst drivers are at v7.3 and Omega is only at v7.1. I'll install v8.00 today and report back if I get a chance. Thanks for the reply!

There is an option in the advanced setup wizard that allows you to change display text. I don't remember where it is at the moment, but as I recall, it was on the second page of the wizard.

So how did you eliminate all of the icons windows wants to put on the desktop (my computer, recycle bin, etc.)? I know some of this can be done with the instant sheller or with tweakui, but what did YOU do?

That would be sweet! I like JoyToKey, but it has limitations and is complicated to set up if you can't use a single config for all emus. I will definitely be giving this a try.

I'm using the Radeon Omega Drivers v3.8.291. I don't know off the top of my head which Catalyst drivers these are based on, but I know the new version (v3.8.330) is based on the Catalyst 7.1 drivers. What version have you experienced problems with? I could upgrade to the new Omega drivers, but I would prefer not using the actual ATI ones since they like to install a bunch of other garbage.

SWEET!!! That grouped emulator feature sounds very interesting! Thanks for the great work.

WOW... And living less than 20 minutes from ground zero Actually I agree, but be careful...Bill could be watching

Good point! I hadn't thought of that.

I saw plasma pong on digg a couple weeks back. Looks cool. Too bad I don't have a trackball in the CP. I guess I could set up one with the stand alone trackball I have though... Anyone have any suggestions for driving games? I have a driving cab that could use some pc based games that control well if anyone can suggest anything.

Tom, I had a crash the first couple of times I loaded GameEx after upgrading to 7.99 also. I haven't had time to get the log off the machine yet, but will try to get it tonight (assuming the crash is still there). In any case, there wasn't much info other than that it crashed and shut down. I know it was a DirectX type error (yeah, I know that doesn't really help much ). Like I said, I'll try to get it to crash and upload the file tonight.

I wasn't aware the Jaguar didn't work. Interesting. On the other hand, I don't know how it could be playable anyway with it's obscure controller...

Agreed that it probably doesn't belong here, but I don't think there are any legal issues with listing a link to a download of a non-copyrightable video content. The manufacturer owns the ROMS and probably rights to the graphics, but pictures of a machine or videos of someone playing it are ok. As far as I know, video from the actual machine should be ok too. But yeah, just use google and you will find what you want!

One option is to set up the hidden mouse cursor from the autosheller program. If you do that, then it makes the mouse a single pixel so it's not really visible. The mouse should disapear within a few seconds, so this would make it much less noticable for the time it's displayed.

1) I never said good result You can make it work, but it won't feel like the original game's controls. 2) Same as 1). You can make it work, but it will not feel correct. Then again, I wouldn't expect a joystick to feel like a light gun. You can adjust the sensitivity of the joystick for this control I think. Check the controls section in MAME and look around for sensitivity options (hit tab and select the correct control). 3) Yes! You can definitely have controls specific for each game. There are over 6000 games, so if you wanted, you could have 6000+ individual control mappings. My recommendation is to get the general configuration of your controls defined in the "general" section of MAME controls. Then, if a specific game needs tweaking, go back in and adjust the P1, P2, etc. controls for that game. It will have all of your default settings in there from the "general" section so you only need to change the ones that are different. In fact, this is exactly how I have set my controls up. I have a 7 button SF/NeoGeo layout. I use the 4 NeoGeo buttons for buttons 1-4 for about 95% of the games. For the rest that use 5 or more, I have them set up to use the 6 SF buttons with button 1 being the upper left of the group of 6. This meant that I had to go in and adjust all 5 and 6 button games manually, but it was better than setting up the controls for EVERY game manually. Hope that helps...
