How does GameEx make the movies? Command line to MAME?

These snaps are videos or pics? If videos, do you get the delay on both AVIs and MNGs? I'm asking b/c before the newer updates I had delays on my AVIs (Divx), but not on the MAME MNG movies (I'm not networked for these files, it just paused when displaying AVIs.) -Matthew

Maybe?

Is there a way to just create a MAME video for one particular game? -Matthew

I'd like to do this too...anyone know how?

I looked in that registry file...what is SMExclusions? If all your videos are XVid, are you even using the DivX decoder? (My videos were downloaded from EmuMovies, which were in DivX, at least that's what GSpot told me.) Cool stuff

Ya, my post was probably confusing. The first part was just how to make it work (i did in fact install a full version of DivX in addition to k-lite) The K-Lite part was just why I was doing it

If anyone wants to use DivX to play their movies in GameEx, but needs to remove the tray icon you can get a program DivX wrote here: http://support.divx.com/cgi-bin/divx.cfg/p...hp?p_faqid=1630 Trouble is, it only works for version 6 of the player and hasn't been updated to 6.5 (the latest version) Looking through the forums, though, I found this post: http://forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=3015 That explains how to get it to work in 6.5. Guess what, worked like a charm I didn't want to use the old version of ffdshow because I had installed all my codecs using the K-Lite Mega Pack ( http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite..._Codec_Pack.htm ) which solved some problems I was having in Oblivion (PC Game) FYI, before installing the K-Lite pack, I recommend running the following: http://nightmare2013.brashendeavors.net/ This resets all your codecs to windows xp default. Don't worry it backs them up first, (I verified this.) After reseting back to default, I just installed the K-Lite pack and used the defaults for everything. Trouble was the DivX decoder had that darn icon and was minimizing my GameEx again. Hence the desire to find a solution for the DivX decoder, rather than bastardizing my K-Lite install. One other thing of note. Perhaps it's all the VM9 video enhancements Tom did, but my movies that were encoded with DivX now play MUCH better. They used to pause before starting, but now they start up just as fast as the *.mng videos! This was a real surprise. Now I can arrow up and down through the list and there is no stuttering whatsoever. Amazing how much tighter the whole application feels after this. Again, I'm not sure if it's that the DivX decoder is decoding them rather than FFDShow or if it's improvements to GameEx. I just know it runs perfectly now! Hope this helps somebody, Matthew

Does anybody know why? It's tough running two year old software (especially when I have codec issues in other programs, but must use this old one for GameEx) -Matthew

Thank you, that was exactly what I was looking for. I assumed somebody would have created the maps by now

I have a set of Kawaks roms that I downloaded from pleasuredome. I think these use the same roms as MAME, but they are just listed by their ROM name. My understanding was there was information in the installation of GameEx that maps these names in MAME and other supported emulators (i'm assuming those *.mdb databases and MAP files.) Is there an easy way to do this for my Kawaks set? btw, I tried to search for Kawaks "MAP", but since map was under 4 letters it wasn't allowed. Thanks, Matthew

If a theme is designed for 1024x768, will it generally look a bit weird in 1600x1200 (for instance)? I was running the NexGen theme and my titles were always missing some letters. I tried to go into the theme editor and adjust the theme to be 1600x1200, but couldn't figure out how to do it. There is a little green box that seems to indicate the resolution, but I couldn't figure out how to adjust it. Is this not possible? Thanks, Matthew

Oh hehe...i meant do they usually lag behind the MAME release? On the website it listed they were on 0.111u something while MAME is on 0.112u2

Does MAMEPlus! usually lag behind? I went to their website and they were still on 0.111. Having those filters looks nice, though. I always enable them in non-mame emulators.

This is a good tip since I was trying to figure out why pacman was gone as well after filtering clones (faq material?)
