You've thought of everything Awesome I'll check it out later tonight. Are there a full list of command line options somewhere? One thing I did notice earlier while playing with the DVD player was that if the green button was pressed during DVD playback GameEx never closed. It launched MCE ok, but kept playing the DVD in the background. This is not a huge deal, maybe something to look at next time you work on the DVD player. It reminds me allot of what used to happen when the button was pressed during gameplay, before one of your previous updates.

Tom, I don't know if it has already been covered, but how about standalone DVD support? (launch directly to the DVD player without accessing the menu, maybe with a flag) The DVD player in MCE is lacking, many people using MCE want to use FFDshow but can't. Your DVD player is the only one that I know of that uses the MCE remote correctly and supports FFDshow. Any thoughts? Is this already supported?

No doubt... you've only made 7 different releases this week. Please take a few days off. The last thing any of us want is for you to get burnt out.

Where do I enable this? I couldn't find it in the emulator/display settings.

Tim, I like the changes you have made. Exiting out of an emulator is much smoother than before. I noticed that Media Center focuses correctly now. GameEx's wife friendly rating just went through the roof The only bug I can report is how the emulator exits if the green button is pressed. I'm sure this has been reported before, if not I will give more information on the error I get there. It just seems to want to start loading MCE without exiting the emulator completely. Can I suggest either disabling the button while an emulator is launched, or having it act like the back button currently does? I have the self control not to push the green button during gameplay, but I have doubts that my wife will She uses that button to exit everything to get back to the MCE main menu... gonna be a hard habit to break.

Outstanding! I'll install once the family is done with the htpc and report back.

I love gameex, but there seems to be a 4-5 second delay when exiting out of an emulator and returning to the game screen. I've searched the forums on this subject, and read that this delay is normal. What is happening during that delay? What causes it?

ShoPow, I have written a tiny script that will completely close Rocknes for you Unzip the attached file into C:\Emulators\RockNESX v2.0 Final then set LaunchAfter= in your Emulator 4 config t: LaunchAfter=C:\Emulators\RockNESX v2.0 Final\killrocknesvbs.vbs Rocknes seems to have 2 different states (launcher and emulator). GameEx closes the emulator, but then the process reloads itself as the launcher. So in effect, Rocknes really needs to be closed twice. That is what this script does for you. killrocknes.zip

Thanks for the tip w/ dxdiag. Super Mario Bros was one of the games the FCEU was running to fast for me. I'm pretty happy with Nestopia right now though. It has a few options that FCEU doesn't, such as screen clipping. FCEU left an ugly 8 pixel border on the left side of my screen on some games. Nestopia does the same thing, but gives me the option of clipping those 8 pixels off the screen. As for {ESC}, it hasn't let me down yet. I even did some testing and set the delay to 5000. It hid the menu and did not exit. The Author has done a great job thinking out possible conflicting situations with the sendkeys functions.

Hey Matt, Here are some tips to save you a little time with Nestopia: The command line option "-view show menu : no" doesn't work. You can get around this by putting {ESC} in the "Emu Keys to Send" field in your Gameex emulator settings. Don't use a dely in these settings. A delay may cause GameEx to exit the emu. Change your timing options in Nestopia to "auto frame skip" if you have problems with games running too fast in full screen mode. The ONLY problem I am having now is getting the mouse to hide during emulation. I'll figure that out soon enough... Edit: Mouse Pointer Solution Download this and unzip: http://storage.gate2.net/MH_1.2.zip Run the MouseHider program, click options and set it to minimize and run on system tray. Set seconds to 1. Close the program. In the GameEx config program, set "Emu_# Also Launch" to MouseHider.exe Set "Emu_# Launch After" to: taskkill /im mousehider.exe save and exit. thats all!

.92 does the same thing (gives a popup message at the load of every rom) How we you able to get around this? There seems to be at least 1 thing that is wrong with every emulator I try. Jnes - doesn't exit completely... just unloads the rom, no commandline support FCEU - runs some games to fast Nestopia - Runs WAY to fast in full screen mode if you have the menu bar hidden (ran SMB3 at 260 FPS!) RockNES - uses a launcher, command line support too limited VirtuaNES - Popup message after loading rom I've also tried these and ran into problems that I can't remember off the top of my head right now: Nesticle Nester Edit: I've played around with Nestopia some more, got it running very good. I'm sticking with this one

I checked that emulator out earlier today. It gave me some kind of warning everytime I loaded the rom. I do have version .90 though.... i'll find a newer version. Right now I am looking at Nestopia. LOTS of options here that FCEU doesn't have, and it seems to run some games better.

I've been playing around with gameex for the past couple of days. I've tried just about every emulator, and I think fceu works the best with it. FCEU isn't my favorite emulator for NES, but it plays nice with Gameex.
