Hi, Can anyone suggest software / hardware that would allow me to use a wireless game pad controller to play MAME and other emulator games through GameEx on my HTPC. Thanks.

Thanks Tom

Can anyone tell me what the following error log means and what I need to do to get it working? 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: GameEx: Version 8.26: Starting Log 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: .net Framework 1.0 Installed 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: 2.21Ghz - 2 Cores or CPU's 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Running Randomize() 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Loading PlugIns 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Running Misc startup tasks 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Setting Menu types 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Opening Configuration File 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Getting Configuration Values 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Using Theme: Default - MCE Glossy 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - MCE Glossy 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Launching HideOS.exe 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 12:30:10.5 09/07/2007: Hiding Taskbar 12:30:10.6 09/07/2007: Is Media Center running? 12:30:10.6 09/07/2007: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 12:30:10.6 09/07/2007: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 12:30:10.6 09/07/2007: Media Center Mode 0 12:30:10.6 09/07/2007: Video previews on.

Sorry about the delay in replying. The problem seemed to be around the DiVX codec. When I uninstalled the DIVX codec the problem was sorted. Not an ideal scenario obviously but a solution nevertheless.

Hi, New to GameEx! Have installed on my MCE HTPC but every time I launch GameEx inside or outside of MCE it shows the theme for a split second and then minimises to the taskbar. I'm running a custom resolution 1216 x 684 off a Nividia GeForce 7600 GS onto a 37" Plasma. Comments on solving this gratefully received.
