What software are you using? I have a feeling it's not showing all the characters. Perhaps cr & lf need to be after the <RPA> Wait for 1.54

Just uploaded 1.53, those CR & LF characters are invisible to my PortMon software (from SysInternals). 1.53 is that what you posted without CR & LF characters. If the ProLite protocol document wasn't so bloody vague then we wouldn't have this problem! We will get it right soon

I am actually outputting <ID01><PA>1942 cr lf <ID01><RPA> Does your Port Monitor software output those characters? The cr and lf are carriage return and line feed characters. I need to know exactly what is being output! Hang on I'll update again without those, wait for 1.53 then download...

Sorry mate, try 1.52, I've made the output exactly as your software does. Test again please.

Yes, just download again now and see if it works.

Okay, I've removed the <PA> because reading over the document again, it states So I believe it's not needed at all.

It's strange about that <PA> command, because nowhere is it explained in the ProLite Protocol document, except for a small example. Okay, I am following the example now, can you download 1.51 and see if it works. The output should now be <ID01><PA>Game Name cr lf Exactly as the example is given in the protocol document. Let me know if it works.

Start->Programs->GameEx->Setup Wizard->Custom->Emulator Selection, then use the "Copy Emulator Config to RAM" and "Copy Emulator Config from RAM" buttons to change your order. Do a backup of GameEx.ini first though incase you accidently overwrite something.

You have to make sure you have your COM ports setup the same in both the Plugin and in Windows. To make life easier I've put a button called "Configure Port..." for configuring the port in Windows. You have to make sure that the Port Num, Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity and Stop Bits match your ProLite, as well as the Windows port configured in "Configure Port..." and the settings in the plugin. I have tested the plugin with a Port Monitor and it works. You must get those settings right, and the "Test LCD" button should then output something.

GameEx is off to a good start for 2007

Make sure you test with 1.5 BETA if you can please.

Release 1.5 BETA is a big update, not much to see but the code has been majorly reoganized to make future updates easier. - Added LEDWiz Attract Mode test in configuration

Yes, it works how you expect, holding down buttons 10 and 11 should exit back to GameEx. And if you have it activated in your PJ64 settings it should be working AFAIK. Try a search for "joystick" (minus quotes) in the Setup Wizard and have a look at the options there.

Sorry, I found another bug. This time I ran it with a serial port monitor and the output looks right now. Download and try again. EDIT: Added a "Test" button so you can test the LCD in the configuration program.

Oops, I forgot to put in the initialization code for some of the LCD's! Sorry :/ Uploaded a new version! On a completely different note RandyT of www.GoodGameGear.com has donated a LEDWiz for my work on the plugin. So I have ordered 20 Electric Ice buttons and will be buying another LEDWiz off loadman from BYOAC to re-do my CP with RGB buttons. I'm looking forward to checking out my plugin in action I will be documenting my whole CP makeover so stay tuned!

Oops, I forgot to add the initialization code for the LCD's! I'll upload a new version in a minute. EDIT: Sorry about that, download the new version from here I'd appreciate it if you can get back to me to let me know if it's working okay.

Tom perhaps you should put this link in the FAQ, along with this one for Mame Manuals.

The new search feature should make finding the option easier. Select Start->Programs->GameEx->Setup Wizard->Search->Type "advanced config" minus the quotes and you can set the advanced config for each emu.

I have the font size set to biggest. Just typed "font" in the search for Setup Wizard and it took me straight to the setting. This is proving to be very handy in a real practical sense.

Yes you install to the same folder.

http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm Alt is a ! So you would say 2Joy11::Send !{F4} But you should be able to use an advanced config to do this for you in GameEx. Check out "C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\Project 64 V2.ini" for an example advanced config. Make a copy and call it what you want, then in your Emulator Setup have the advanced config point to that file.

There is no built in functionality to have two different versions running on the same PC. You could try and make a copy of the entire GameEx folder ie "Program Files\GameEx" and copy it to "Program Files\GameEx(2)" or something. See if they both run without conflict, it probably will work. Secondly, another alternative would be to have a batch file that launches GameEx and copies over the different GameEx.ini file each version of GameEx. So it would work like this 1. Setup GameEx the way you want, backup GameEx.ini to GameEx1.ini 2. Setup GameEx the way you want again for second version, backup GameEx.ini to GameEx2.ini Have two batch files in the GameEx folder.. -- RunMe1.bat -- @ECHO OFF copy /y CONFIG\GameEx1.ini CONFIG\GameEx.ini start GameEx.exe -- RunMe2.bat -- @ECHO OFF copy /y CONFIG\GameEx2.ini CONFIG\GameEx.ini start GameEx.exe

I'm not sure what your question is about. Is this related to the Theme Editor or just the use of themes in GameEx?
