Tempest

@hellothere, One thing that you didn't mention, and I think everyone here needs to be aware of, is that there are two ways to hook up a U360 joystick. The first is to just to plug it into your usb port, and the computer will see it as a HID device. The second is that it can be hooked to a keyboard encoder, and (obviously) it will be seen as keystrokes. I don't know if it will affect any advice given, I just wanted to point it out in case it makes a difference.

This is exactly what I was going to say, but I didn't want to steal any of Tom's thunder....Leave it to you Brian (I really am just messing with you, I hope you know that.)

More or less just giving this a bump. Would this be a Theme Editor question, or a feature request, or ???

Works for me Headkaze! I have to say that's impressive support, a bug fixed in less than 16 hours!

Headkaze says it a bug... He will post here when then new version is out.

First off, I made a change in the code box, I had .lay as the extension, and it should be .xml.... Barcio, Either I don't know how to use overides either, or it doesn't work, because I tried all kinds of things with no luck. I'll send HK a message and see if he can straighten us out!

I played with Romlister today this is even easier: Use the output type "batch file" Enter this in the Batch window, adjusting for paths. I would assume that the output directory should already exist. copy "c:\test\mylayout.xml" "c:\tmp\%ROM%.xml"execute batch file. I think you are doing the right thing regarding the layout overides, but I have to go to work, and I will mess around with that this afternoon. And no, I don't hate you, your the only one left here who will take my advice. http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/

A couple of Mugen threads I thought youd' be interested in: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=4444 http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...amp;#entry34427 JCGamer is really into Mugen!

I Got It! ::------CODE----- @echo off md c:\tmp dir /b "c:\Roms" >>filelist.txt for /f %%i in (filelist.txt) do ( copy "c:\Test\mylayout.lay" "c:\tmp\%%~ni .lay" ) del filelist.txt ::------CODE----- This will make make a new directory C:tmp Read all of the filenames in C:Roms For each Rom, make a copy of C:Test\mylayout.lay, and rename it the same as the rom, keeping the .lay extension So if your roms were already sorted, this would do the trick. However, I'm guessing this isn't exactly what you are looking for, and I'm not sure what the file list that Romlister generates looks like, but If its a text file, maybe this batch file could be modified to work with it. If nobody else wants to dink with it, I can play again on Wednesday........ Filenamer.7z

I tried this batch file, and it made all of the new files, but kept the .zip extension, if I open the files with notepad, they are correct.....any ideas? ::------CODE----- @echo off md c:\tmp dir /b "c:\Roms" >>filelist.txt for /f %%i in (filelist.txt) do ( copy "c:\Text\readme.txt" "c:\tmp\%%i" ) del filelist.txt ::------CODE-----

I looked around, and found this: http://www.computing.net/programming/wwwbo...orum/14608.html It shows how to automatically create the three hundred files you need with the correct filenames, Let me know if you try it, or maybe one of the Guru's could take a look, and tell us what they think.

I sent a message to Headkaze with a suggestion that the CPWizard have a text file such as this: [layout 1] romname1 romname2 romname3 [layout 2] romname4 romname5 romname6 This way, everybody could do as you suggest, sort romnames as they see fit, and have any CP show for any group. I can't promise you that it can (or will) be done, but the seed has been planted.... Once again, great job on your CP design! Do you have a cabinet?

Gotcha....That's where me being lazy came in, I didn't want to take the time to see if a new rom version was out. But I had enough energy to make three posts about it

I didn't know if there was a .123 version of the Blitz99, Blitz2k roms.....I thought maybe JayBTV might still be using his roms from Mame .90. It was just a suggestion.

I'm too lazy today to check anything before I post, but have you checked your rom to see if its version .123? (there may not even be a .123 version, that's where the laziness comes in on my part)

I hope I didn't imply before that you had messed up a bunch of stuff, it was clear to me that you had put a lot of thought into your layout, and configuration. I had just found a few problems with your default.cfg which I knew were from you changing things around, trying to get them to work. So far as the "numplayers" goes, no you are not doing anything wrong, Headkaze doesn't use that information. I don't think it will help, but check out this thread: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=3292 Just out of curiousity, when you checked your Default.cfg against what you see as the player controls in Mame (tab), Did they match? I assume you know about "mame layout overides", I'm guessing it would be alot of CP's to do one for each three, and four player game.

I'm not bent on anything, that's why I asked, You proably already guessed, but I don't have a clue! BTW: Hell ya! Thanks for your help!

If it makes you feel any better, I got it the first time....

I don't have my manual, I did a search for my part#, and found this: General Features: Intel 845GL Chipset microATX form factor (also called mATX or uATX) w/20-pin ATX power connector and 4-pin ATX12V power connector Socket 478 400 MHz FSB Support for up to 2 GB DDR RAM (DDR 200/266 MHz) Two (2) UDMA/33/66/100 IDE controllers Integrated Intel 845GL graphics Intel Pentium 4 GHz 1.40 â?? 2.60 GHz Socket 478 processors/400 MHz FSB Intel Celeron 1.70 - 2.80 GHz Socket 478 processors w/400 MHz FSB It looks like the best I can do for my computer is: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_4/In...32PC2600D).html $123.00 - do you think it would be worth it?

I found this, What do you think? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...6819116027#spec $80.00 - How do I know if it will work with my motherboard, or not? Should I get a cooling fan? I will appreciate responses from everybody.....

My system: 17:08:39.0 1/29/2008: GameEx: Version 9.08: Starting Log 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: Operating System Name: Windows XP 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: Intel® Celeron® CPU 2.40GHz, 1022MB 17:08:39.1 1/29/2008: 2.39Ghz I have Mame,Daphne,Nebula,Visual Pinball, Zinc, and Raine working well. I have tried Future Pinball, Mjolnir, and Model2, but the games run too slow for my system. (is that the way it is or am I doing something wrong?) What other Emulators should I try without duplicating what I already have? According to what I've read Freedo should run on my system...What do you think? How about Project 64?

There is a FAQ section at Gameex.net. Your second question probably is simple, but would require more information to answer. Gameex is not an emulator, but a frontend for emulators. What emulator are you running? Can you play games in that emulator without Gameex? Do you have the emulator setup in Gameex? If your using Mame, make sure you have a fairly new version - apparently Gameex doesn't like the really old versions. Let's start with that for now.....When you do have an emulator setup and working in Gameex, it will give you a list of games to select and play from.

I found this: http://www.fileinfo.net/help/windows-show-extensions.html I hope that will help, I can see my extensions now!

Read this thread: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...amp;#entry35177 Edit: Hey! You posted in that thread! Try reading the WHOLE thread.....

I had a problem similar to this one, while setting up Zinc. I had a renderer.znc that I was supposed to move over and rename with a .dll (If I remember right...might have been.cfg) extension. For some reason my computer wouldn't recognize the new extension. By that I mean that the icon for the new file didn't match the icons for other files with the same extension. Also, they were not recognized by ESPXE as a plugin. I'm running Windows XP pro, and file extensions never show on my computer, sytem name.map shows as system name. The only way I can tell what it is, is either by the Icon, or holding the cursor over the file. I solved my problem by downloading the plugin myself, but I would think that you could fix your problem by dropping the .map extension from the file, because if you are having the same problem as I am, your computer already recognizes it as a map file, and thinks that the file is named "System Name.map" (I hope that makes sense) The only thing I don't understand is why Gameex is recognizing them unless it thinks the file name is "Sytem Name.map" also. So, to make a short story long, try dropping the extension, and if that doesn't work you could install gameex to a new directory, and copy the map files over, Or I (or someone) could upload the map files for you. Does anyone know why this happens, or how I can get my computer to show extensions? I have the view set up as "show details" and there is an option to choose what details, but file extension isn't one of them.
