FYI, I'm running Vista 64 Bits here, and have absolutely no complains. It's running perfectly all my apps The only thing it really needs is a lot of RAM. (don't go for less than 4 Gb) The driver issues are mostly due to 3rd parties manufacturers not wanting to develop new drivers for old hardware. If you are upgrading from XP 32 to Vista 64 with your old hardware, this may be an issue (Webcam, Scanner, printer, etc) I think Vista 64bits drivers are now supported by everybody.

Hi I started fiddling with the Video playback features of GameEx and have a few questions. - I am using an external player to view Videos and DVDs, but the stats ('number of times watched', last time, etc) don't seem to be updated - In the preview window of DVDs, I see only a black screen. Should there be something else ? - and the most annoying ... Is there a way to stop separating Videos and DVDs ? For me it's the same thing. They are all videos. It's just a matter of container and file format. So I'd like to see them appear nicely in the same 'Video' category. Is their any easy way to achieve that ?

the Manage Network Passwords was on Vista, not sure it exists on XP. (no more XP here ) 1- try creating a real account on your cab, and login with that account 2- try mounting your NAS as a mapped drive (reconnect at logon) 3- reboot the CAB, login with your new account and see if it's working 4- if it's working that way, setup autologin (by editing the registry) 5- if not working, try creating an account on your cab that has the same name and password as the NAS (or change the NAS user/password) I'm not familiar with NAS, but are there any firmware update or things like that to perform ?

Hi Not really a solution to your specific question, but I'm just curious Why not configure the cabinet for autologin into XP, and the 'remember' the passwords needed for remote mounted folder ? If no passwords are needed anymore, you could just let windows decided when to hibernate (and when to standby)

hi I am a ftp user already, so the answers will be pretty obvious #1 I would say emumovie is an essential service to the community #2 I don't have any problems paying that amount for a direct ftp access. I could go with torrents and such, but paying the annual fee is my way to thank you for your work. #3 without hesitation ! #4 if it allows you to stay alive, then yes. just make sure that up-to-date stuff is available easily on torrent files, or any other free medium I would like to contribute to the project, but I haven't seen an guidelines or tutorial on how you want things to be done. (to save you some time when auditing) This project must not die !

Thanks for the super quick fix and release

Hi I'm using the new 'sub folder' feature for scanning so CD games (a .cue and a bunch of audio tracks) Of course, I want to organize this neatly in subfolders. so, I set a filter on *.cue, give the root folder in the config, activate the sub folder, and tada, the games are displayed correctly in GameEx. But ... Before running the game, I'm calling a cmd line to mount the disk, using the "[RomPath]\[RomFile]" variables. This doesn't work. At run-time, GameEx seems to replace [RomPath] with the root folder, instead of the actual subfolder where the .cue was found. That mean of course that "[RomPath]\[RomFile]" doesn't represent the real path to the rom anymore. And of course, the mount command fails Is that a bug, or am I using the wrong keywords ?

Hi I have a small problem with the game database If I let gameex use the DB to display the game name, I loose the language info. every version (US, Jap, etc) is listed as the same game, which make it harder to find the game you actually want to launch. I used the config to tell gameex not to use the 'Database Name' so everything is fine now. But I am still wondering. Is this a feature or a bug ?

Verified and approved thanks

IMO, putting bugs and updating their status in a forum thread will quickly become unmaintanable if a lot of people actually submit them. You should use a real (free) bug tracking software like bugzilla.

Hi I just noticed a bug in the latest version of gameex. non US characters seems to not be rendered correctly in gameex interface. I tried the [Console] NEC TurboGrafx CD DB. The game is Ys Book 1 & 2. The word animé in the description is rendered as 'untranslated' UTF-8 characters. (read �© ) so I see anim�© the MDB file itself looks ok, so the problem seems to be in gameex itself.

Cool, that would be great. ! I guess that would be an instant registration for me if it's working well

Thanks for the answers. I wasn't talking about a codec, but an actual player (zoom player) I think that every single htpc frontend I tried allowed a call to an external player, so I curious why gameex wouldn't allow it As you said, calling to the external player that way would be ulgy, since the whole point is to use the multimedia interface.

Hello It's been a while since I tested gameex as a HTPC solution. I've seen that now DVD playback can be done using an external player, but I didn't see anything about non DVD videos Did I miss something or is it still impossible to use an external player for avi and such ? Thanks for your answers

Thanks for your answers 1. I keep them in separate folders because I want to avoid long seek time using Explorer or other programs when I want to check the folder content. Having 4K files in the same folder isn't the fastest solution and don't really plan putting everything back in a single folder. 2. Thanks for the map file. It's a nice way to provide a more readable title. 3. Yes it can do command line, but if I use it as an emulator, then again I hit the same 'non recursive folder' issue. I also keep my videos in different subfolders and entering them one by one in GameEx isn't the best solution 4. thanks for the info So I guess the only showstopper for me is the lack of recursivity in the folder parsing. I hope it will be added at some point in the future.

Hi everybody Congratulation for GameEx, it's an interesting piece of software Sorry if those questions seems obvious but I've just started with gameex - My roms are organized into sub folders (one for every letters of the alphabet). When I specify the root folder for them, GameEx doesn't look into the subfolders. Is there a way to force a recursion there ? - For multi-parts CD games, I have the CD images grouped into a single folders. Is there a way to display them as a single game if recursion is possible ? - For multimedia features (I'm using this on a HTPC plugged to a 1080p TV) is it possible to automatically use an external application to play video/dvds ? I'm a registered user of Zoomplayer and I want to continue using it - Upgrade/Backup procedure: When uninstalling GameEx, what folders/registry should I keep ? If I install a newer version of GameEx, will it automatically convert the config files to a new format if necessary ? Thanks for any answers
