Hi guys I have searched and spent numerous hours trying to get this sorted and have made some headway but I am struggling to get the last few settings up and running. I'm away from my cab at the moment so if I need to post anything tell me what and I will do when I get home. Problem: Setting up and running multi-bin file and multi disc games in PSX and PCSX2 (and other systems) So Far: 1) I have found ISOBuster which allows me to combine multiple bin files so that PS emulators will load the CUE file properly (won't do it with multiple tracks). This has meant that I can load games (or the first disc of a game) by loading the CUE. I have therefore filtered the roms to only show CUE files which helps with displaying the games. this should be sufficient for single disc games and correct music etc correct me if wrong? 2) For multi disc games I am uncertain of the best way to arrange and swap discs. Admittedly I have not needed to yet but I only just started PS1/2 emulation. I have tried and failed to utilise Daemon Tools Lite with Virtual Drive Loader plugin, I just cant get it to play nice. It is most definitely user error! Download and install DT Lite Create a SCSI drive in DT (F:) Gameex command line set to "psxfin.exe [DTLOADER-SCSI] --fullscreen" Update the defaulted command line in VDL for Playstation from drive "0" to "F" (populated when selecting "SCSI" and hitting the tick) Setting the drive to use in PSX to F: When I go in the VDL plugin configure screen and run the batch file it states something like deprecated syntax and it looks like it tried to load it to drive 0: (zero) as if the change in the command lines for mount and unmount below had not been recognised. HELP! I looked for an idiots guide but I don't think anyone has written one idiot enough for me! What is the easiest way to handle multiple discs for an idiot like me?! (Does Gameex Arcade now support this at all?) If VDL plugin is the best solution then please help me to figure out what I am doing wrong! If there is an all together more efficient way to achieve all of this please let me know! Ultimately i would like one line for each game regardless of number of discs (Am aware of merge sets but not sure how to use it once you get to the end of the first disc?!). i think this is the same for any emulator so most importantly PS1, PS2 and I think Dreamcast (DEMUL). PS - I will post some screenshots tonight. Tom

Thanks Red Dog - I used to use full GameEx and moved to this as it was less cluttered and met most of my requirements without messing with the many many custom settings of full gameex. Incidentally as a paying member am I supposed to be able to get Alpha release Gameex Evo? When I tried looking last time the link had been removed and / or it was not found? I see reference to people having it but I can't for the life of me see it anywhere?!

Hi I have had the best success with sacrificing a separate bluetooth dongle and using the SCP drivers by Nefarious to use up to 4 PS3 pads simultaneously. I am not sure if other pads will work but I believe as they support Directinput and Xinput it should work. Thsi means you don't mess with any onboard or other peripheral bluetooth adaptors and the pads have a dedicated connection. PS3 or PS4 controllers are supported and maybe more. PS3 controllers are pretty robust, good for a wide range of systems and are cheap to pick up on ebay. They do have to be genuine to work though, not the cheap knock off ones. Thanks Tom

Hi All I had a search and could not find anything specific to Arcade Edition. I can setup video themes but as they are a little slow to load I would prefer to use MAME backgrounds and the video and snap. I cant see any where in the advanced setup menu to set display background art work nor can I see a place to enter the path? Its video themes or nothing? Is that correct or am I missing something?

Hi guys Think I screwed up config on Instant Sheller and now it is stuck. Basically Windows is not shelled, the programme only boots back to the undo button though. When I try to undo it gives me the below error. I think that some parts of the shell worked and some didn't so now it thinks it needs to reverse changes. Basically i just want to be able to run it again fresh, can anyone help at all? ************* Exception Text **************System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at c.h(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) Thanks Tom
