    Zinc Wrapper

    I laughed when I saw that you had replied, I knew where this was going! Yeah, I reinstalled Gameex, and lost my loader! I'm really just killing time, and trying to help, but i'm probably more of a pain than anything... I would just like to see it easier to set up for everybody, and frequency wanted a guinea pig for his loader, and I volunteered. I figure if I can get his loader going, then it's pretty much idiot proof! @frequency, I'm willing to do this as long as you are...but do I really have to set up the config for every game again?

    Zinc Wrapper

    I'm probably stupid or something...My zinc folder has so much crap in it, it's not even funny... So I'm going through, setting up everygame using ZincGUI, and winterblasts plugin, and I'm thinking to myself that this can't be right... I need a Go here, and get this file, then configure it using this file then set it up in gameex like this, hand holding type of thing... Unless of course I am supposed to set up every game individually again, then just give me the OK, and I'll do it. I think this is what kept messing with me before, I just couldn't believe you had to go to this much trouble, until I finally broke down and did it. I'll tell you this, if I check the properties on my zinc folder, I have 494 files in 37 folders, 761MB total. Doesn't that seem crazy? You want to know why I'm stupid? Because Zinc runs at 24 FPS on my computer, and I'm still trying to set it up!
  3. I showed my wife your twin babies, and she said Awwww.... You wouldn't edit anything to make my wife look bad, would you?
  4. I didn't realize that the x-arcade was selling for $199 now, that's a pretty good deal. Does anybody know how well the trackball works? Happs sells their USB 3" trackball for $166 Ultimarc 3" trackball & Minipac about the same price... If the trackball works well, I would consider buying one of these, even if I were just going to use it for parts!
  5. As long as YOUR having fun....
  6. What do you really think?
  7. To be honest, I got nuthin'... I was thinking of throwing in a quote from a DJInfinty thread, but I already used that one. I could cut and paste the standard "Wow, your wonderful" but that's been (over) done today. I also know that no matter what I say, you have the power to edit your post, and even change where I quoted you, so I'm actually a little head shy.... Come to think of it you could change this to what ever you want, so I'm really a little more terrified really than head shy...
  8. Cool!
  9. "Wow, thanks Brian fRequEnCy, you are truly a genius, a blessing to all of us here, and a good looking guy as well. I wish I could be more like you!" (Don't you wonder what the people who don't read every post are thinking now?)
  10. Just trying to spread the love...
  11. Looking Good!
  12. I think I've been set up! I think I'd like to become a mod.... Throw out something to see if it gets any bites... Once the hook is set, change your original post to make the "fish" look bad... Then qoute the "fish" so that even if they edit their post to cover, you still come out OK. That is a sweet deal! Where do I sign up?
  13. You're alot cuter than I thought! (smaller too... ) Edit: Just so everybody knows, Brian edited that picture. He was holding a baby, so my comment actually made more sense. Brian - If you don't want this said, feel free to delete it, or my entire post.
  14. I can put up with alot, but it is totally disrespectful to call me a "GameEx Guru", when you know damn well I am an "Ultimate GameEx Guru!" If you keep talking shit, you'll be one too someday... Seriously though, I'm glad that I've got you, Brian, BK, and DJ Infinity to give me crap, it gives me a reason to live.
  15. It's not that I'm deprived, as much as jealous of all the love Brian gets... I post an answer that gets ignored, then 5 posts later Brian Posts the same answer and gets: "Wow, thanks Brian, you are truly a genius, a blessing to all of us here, and a good looking guy as well. I wish I could be more like you!" Of course his correct/incorrect answer ratio is alot higher than mine... Do you think that has anything to do with it?
  16. My formula takes time, and enjoyment (fun) into account!
  17. Good one BK!
  18. I think whether or not to buy pre-built is a math problem. ((price of Pre-built panel)-(price of components)/(Spare time)-(time required))* experience / (amount of enjoyment of doing it yourself) The higher number is, the more likely it is that you should do it yourself, while negative numbers indicate that you probably should not, and an answer of "infinity" would show that you definately should buy a pre-built one. So it's up to you.... I never understood why someone would buy a prebuilt panel for a cabinet (but I haven't done the math), but one advantage to it would be that you could use it right away. Of course you could always build a box to put the componets in temporarily until you get you cab finished. I made that equation up...it seems right, let me know if it works for you.

    Visual Pinball

    I love the night life, I got to boogie, on the disco 'round, oh yea. I can't help it - I got music in my head... I'm still on vacation, chances are I'll be home before Brian can remember to help you!
  20. Well I've waited long enough.... I pm'd Tom, and told him about the bug. No response. I E-mailed him to see if he got my PM. He replied that he had. I've waited, and waited, I don't know if the bug has been fixed, but I do know I never receieved credit for finding it.... Once again, no love for me!
  21. Oohhh, that's how we are going to play it huh? I remember giving Beaps a chance to take a shot at me, but I didn't know it was going to be a free-for-all! Fine, bring it on guys! Like I said, it shouldn't be too hard. The only restriction I would like to set is that you can't use the thread where I was trying to setup a PS2 game in a PS1 emulator...That would be way to easy!
  22. This is not intended to make fun of any person, living or dead, but whatever happened to... http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...amp;#entry33014 This is funny...I remembered this one, and it took me about 20 minutes to find it. Guess what? Its Beaps, asking about monitors! I swear I didn't know this when I started this post. Later on down the thread, he asks whether he should use Mala or Gameex as a front end. That was the part that I remembered, and I was always curious about which way he went. I'm glad to see he made the right decision. Hey Beaps, is Gameex and the forums everything I said they would be? If you think I'm picking on you, go ahead and pick one of my posts that seems well..silly, and post it here in retribution (There are plenty to choose from ) http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...amp;#entry33564 Can anybody think of others that made one post, and then seemed to just go away?
  23. You can also run the task manager to check resources, CPU, memory....
  24. That's what I'm hoping for.... Any Idea why the ones in the last link are so cheap? I'm guessing they need additional hardware? Are my questions regarding "back" and "paging" controls in Gameex relevant?
  25. And a user named "Pacman", I'm feeling better already...
