I forgot about the suppression screens. Okay I've updated the file list and confirmed it's compiling MAME 0195 okay.

Just to let everyone know.. Stu contacted me in PM and we worked together to resolve his issues with the plugin and a new version has been posted on the repo.

There is no need to compile your own version of MAME anymore since MAMEDev have implemented a powerful Lua plugin system for things like hiscore and cheats. Even CPWizard uses a showcp plugin now instead of a patch to display your CP while MAME is paused. Additionally if you need DirectInput support (for injecting keys into MAME) you can simply use a hex editor and replace "RegisterRawInputDevices" with something like "***DISABLE_RAW_INPUT***". To enable RawInput again just replace it back with "RegisterRawInputDevices". I can't really think of a reason for compiling a custom version of MAME anymore except for maybe those who want to enable the built-in debugger for searching memory locations for hiscore patches or cheats.

Extract the zip and inside is a CreateIcons.exe file. When you run it it will convert all png's in the same folder to ico's into a folder called icons. EDIT: I updated it to support 256 colors and transparency and I also added a link to IcoFX which is a free version of the icon editor before it went paid. So the idea is to get a bunch of images for a system (such as covers) in png format and then crop and cut out any necessary background (make transparent) then convert the png's to ico's using CreateIcons.exe and finally tweak the results in IcoFX. EDIT2: I've attached some screenshots showing the results of a 007 cover cropped and with the background removed then converted using CreateIcons.exe and the resulting .ico file. NOTE: Please keep the the icons 32x32 pixels in size with 256 colors as that is the standard we are currently using. 007 - The World is Not Enough (E) (M3) [!].ico

We love this sort of creative project and I've been thinking about how we can improve in this area. I personally love the icons in GameEx and have spent a decent amount of time implementing it for Evo. So in the sprit of the GameEx community I want to share a little app I wrote that converts png's to the ico format. It will never be something that can replace manually created icons but I'm hoping it can help you guys fast track their creation. Thanks again for all your help! icofxsetup.exe CreateIcons.zip

I'll change the tool tips to "Open Folder in Explorer" and "Select Folder"

I will look into the download issue soon. As for browsing to select a path issue. I cannot replicate this. I tried both "ROM Path" and "Logo Path" in Emulator Setup. I can click the "..." button to select a path fine. Can anyone give more specific information on how to replicate this issue? When you click the folder icon it will open up the path in Explorer if it's valid.

We already have an M3 logo like that one (as you can see from the montage I posted). I don't understand why you've posted another AM2 logo? It's basically the same but without the SEGA logo.

Yes I'm aware of that. The only logos I've seen for Sega Model 2 or 3 are re-creations using the SEGA font. If you know where to source the official logos in good quality please post a link.

Someone should probably have let me know about this project as I already created one a few years ago. Me and Mike have already created HD versions of all the system images and logos but there is other graphical related work you could help with. I've sent you a PM so we can coordinate future work. (I've attached some montages showing our current work)

Can you click that "Details" button and copy/paste the contents here.

Great work as always greatstone, thanks for keeping this awesome project alive

I'm really running out of ideas. Is there anyone else around with U360's that can verify the plugin is working or not for them? I have a test program that uses my UltraStik dll's you can download here. See if it can detect your U360's and program them correctly.

I just compiled and uploaded it again so the date for PlugInUltraStik.dll should be 2-2-2017. I also updated PacDrive32.dll. So grab the latest. Can you try unplugging your U360's and see if you get the debug output. The reason I asked you to reboot in the earlier post is because when you exit GameEx and have the GameEx Online "Run in background" setting enabled it will lock the PlugInUltraStik.dll file so you will not be able to overwrite it. So can you also turn off this setting in GameEx and make sure "GameEx Background.exe" isn't running in the background using Task Manager.

Thanks for your patience Surface. I tried your PLUGINS folder and I didn't get any log. I tried downloading the plugin and that didn't work either. It appears I must have screwed up the upload so I have uploaded the latest version again. Sorry about that. Please try the download again and fingers crossed it works this time!

Can you zip up your PLUGINS and CONFIG folders and post them here?

I just checked and I'm getting the log output. Try following these instructions: 1. Download and install the latest version of GameEx 2. Reboot your PC 3. Download PlugInUltraStik.zip and extract to C:\GameEx\PLUGINS overwriting the files 4. Run Plugin Manager and make sure the UltraStik plugin is enabled 5. In the PluginManager click on Configure and then "Edit Configuration" 6. Edit the following line like so (removing the '#' character at the start of this line) then Save Debug=true # Used for debugging. 7. Run GameEx and launch a game, then exit GameEx 8. Open PlugInUltraStik.log located in C:\GameEx\PLUGINS Let me know if it's still empty. I also recommend you make sure your UltraStik's have the latest firmware (v2.5) (For instructions go here)
