I have found that running PBFX3 from PinballX works around this issue. PBFX3 asks for the activation code only if I run it straight from the desktop. Sorta happy with that I guess... <shrug>

Thank you for these, they're great! Could I respectfully request the Jurassic Park set too please?

...how many times have you had to enter your cabinet activation code (the one that would have been emailed to you)? On my cab, after every reboot or switch-on, I am asked by Pinball FX3 to (re)enter the activation code. Never had this with PBFX2. It'll play all day once entered and I can exit the program and restart it without being prompted for it again but if I reboot the PC, it wants the code again. This can't be the norm, can it?!? Seems kinda ridiculous for 'cabinet mode' where I don't have a keyboard handy...

Nice, thank you.

Ahh man that sucks. One of my favourite actors too (Alien, Paris Texas, The Green Mile, etc. Hell, even Pretty in Pink!) Forever immortalised as 'Brett' from Alien for me; one of my all time favourite films and favourite characters. RIP.

Plex here too, love it. As for content, I'm a member of a few private trackers so that's covered. I don't stream anything, ever. I'm old-school; I like to download it, watch it and (usually) delete it.

You could try Wix. Very easy to use (I'm using it to build a website myself and I'm no web developer!) and intuitive. Might be worth a look? The do free hosting (and paid) too...

As well as the DFGT in my racing cab, I've also had Logitech stuff in the past (a G25 and then G27) too. I've always found them to be well constructed and good value. I've never owned anything from Thrustmaster as I always percieved them as cheap-looking. I never liked that massive wheel and pedal set they produced either (was that the T300? I'm not sure..) That said, Thrustmaster now make a very high-end PC/PS4 wheel (a snip at £700!) but I don't know if it's any good or not. For 700 quid though, it better be! Short answer: Logitech.

Yeah, that's correct.

Well, I never managed to get an optical game to play nicely with the DFGT. That's not to say it's impossible though...

I was thinking of Wix actually as I really like their interface and I own both the 'arcadetimewarp.com' & 'arcadetimewarp.co.uk' domain names and can migrate them over.

Thank you! Nah, can't say I have. I keep trying to get around to doing a dedicated website (for the driving cab, pinball and videogame cab etc.) but haven't found the time yet. I will get it done though; a central place to document my madness!

I can vouch for the Driving Force GT! Really good wheel and at a bargain price nowadays too. I'm using it in my cab with MAME, DeMUL, Supermodel, M2 and PC (via Steam). Most MAME driving games play well. If a game was originally fitted with an optical wheel though, it can be difficult to get it set up correctly. Some pictures of it in my cab here that may be of help/inspiration to you.

RIP Commander Koenig. Moonbase Alpha is a much emptier place now.

@stigzler Yeah, sorry mate. Went a little off topic there! Regarding your original post; I did vote and terrorism will never win... One Love.

I agree 100%. The US gets a choice of Clinton or Trump, the UK (currently, anyway) has a choice of May or Corbyn. I mean, talk about a rock and a hard place. I wouldn't trust any of the muppets above to walk my dog...

This has always cracked me up... pretty much true too.

Tom, I can confirm that you have fixed the issue. Many thanks!

LAV codecs are installed (see attached screenshot)

Hi Tom, Thanks for taking a look Would they be the LAV codecs? How do I check (been a while since I installed all this stuff!)?

Thank you Gents. Sorted.

Is there any way to remove/disable the tiny little icons in the GameEx lists? I have a favourites list set up with numerous games; all the MAME games have a little icon next to them but other emulators do not. Is there any way to disable them? Not exactly the biggest issue in the world but was just wondering! This image shows what I mean: https://goo.gl/photos/nW7Y63kbeL6uqaZ96 Cheers!

Just a polite 'bump' to see if you've had a chance to look into this yet Tom?

RedDog is correct; only .mp4 format used...

Thank you. Let's see if Tom can shed any light on it.
