Not really as that was about answering the same question twice. As for the flv playback we can blame Tom for that... It should work properly next release though or you could just rename them all to .avi so technically it does work BTW You never answered my 3 questions At least I answered yours!

Flv files do work unfortunately it looks like Tom hasn't added support for that extension yet. If you rename the videos to .avi then they work. I'll shoot Tom off an e-mail and let him know to add support for the .flv extension.

You need to apply the bezel_0127.diff patch available from the website. This will enable you to unpause Mame upon exiting. It should work with newer versions of Mame as well.

Sweet as!

Lol I'm used to repeating myself around here So anyway when does your new cab arrive? Have you got your panel yet? Are you still waiting on the Electric Ice buttons to come back in stock at GGG?

Tom you may like to add a link to the Advanced Config Editor from the Start menu? Anyway for now I just wanted to explain how to you can edit Advanced Configs using the new editor. In the Setup Wizard you can go to the Emulator Setup area and on page 3 you will see a new [...] button next to "Advanced Config". Press this button to open up the Advanced Config Editor. You can edit the existing one or save a new one and it will be available for selection in the drop down list when you exit.

I think you have a LabelLink that is wrong. Right click on the joystick to view it's properites and make sure it has nothing selected for its LabelLink.

Did I not just say that? Oh yes I did

As I've said to you before you should remove all of your codecs and codec packs then install the Vista Codec pack. I think the main point of the move to DirectShow is that people would like to have up to date codec packs. Many people run GameEx on Media Centre PC's and that requires codec packs to play different types of media. It doesn't make sense to force people to use an old version of ffdshow that will quite likely conflict with newer codec packs. I think Tom made a good decision and in the long run (once a few bugs are ironed out) it will be better for everyone. I think a few people will like the .flv playback support for previews as well.

It was a very simple fix then. The windows that show while loading were set to TopMost. Then the CPWizard menu is supposed to appear OnTop of that but I didn't set the loading windows TopMost to false first. Keep testing if you can as I'm happier to have the loading windows working than people having to turn them off in Display options.

Tom, my code works fine just change hr = m_pGraphBuilder->RenderStream(NULL, NULL, sourceFilter, grabberFilter, nullRenderer); to this hr = m_pGraphBuilder->RenderStream(NULL, &MEDIATYPE_Video, sourceFilter, grabberFilter, nullRenderer); and it renders WMV files fine

Please bare with us as the last update changes the video system in a substancial way. It is for the better trust us but there may be some things that need to be done differently. To play videos in the new video system there needs to be a DirectShow filter installed for the video type. While it would seem obvious that there should already be DirectShow filters for WMV installed I haven't done any testing with that particular format. Most people have XVid or DivX preview videos but we obviously want WMV support as well. Seems strange they arn't playing for you. You should be okay leaving the Vista Codec Pack installed and just help us figure out how to get them working. For example when you run the ffdshow video decoder configuration have you tried setting the WMV format to use the libavcodec (ie. ffdshow) or wmv9 from the drop down list? It looks like they are disabled by default.

If there are no release notes then usually just minor bug fixes.

Okay rebooting helped. So I just ran another test for the secondary - Tried running on the secondary. Can see the loading screen but black screen only when GameEx starts again. This time I could press ESC to exit though, didn't need Ctrl-Alt-Del - Set it back to run on primary and it worked fine So there still appears to be an issue running on secondary monitor for 3 people here.

I just downloaded the latest version to make sure and still not getting any screen anymore even running in windowed mode. I also tried setting the theme back to default and I have "Hide Desktop" set to no as well. Hmm I'm going to try a reboot...

Hmm I am getting the same problem. I just tried running on the secondary monitor and I get the loading screen then when GameEx loads the screen is black. I tried closing HideOS.exe an no difference. There is definately a problem, the log file doesn't say anything out of the ordinary. Both screens are running in the same resolution and color depth. I hear the startup music, but moving the cursor does nothing and pressing escape to exit does nothing either. I have to close the process using Task Manager. EDIT: Okay just switched back to use the primary monitor and GameEx is still black!

There are few situations where you will be using the 64-bit version of ffdshow and you may have noticed the download is marked as "experimental" on sourceforge. ffdshow is a filter that supports many different video formats but there may be other filters already installed on your PC. I would recommend you uninstall the 64-bit version and install something like the Vista Codec pack which includes ffdshow. Or install the 32-bit version of ffdshow. I like the Vista Codec pack because it includes extra filters for some formats that ffdshow doesn't support. There is no point in installing 64-bit codecs unless you have 64-bit software to use them.

Do you have GameEx set to use your desktop resolution? (ie. "Don't Switch Resolution"?)

Sure okay, but all I do is trace back the keycodes from std.ini, the problem is almost always related to key mappings. But happy to have a look. Let me know what your suspicions on the cause too.

Tempest: CPWizard doesn't read GameEx.ini so there should be no problem there. There shouldn't be a problem with colors.ini

Take a look at my Web Cam Snap app. It allows you to take photos or videos from your webcam in GameEx.

Hehe the thing is Tom I always thought you were using DShow for video previews all along so I'm sure if I had of known otherwise this issue would have been resolved long ago. Even though I had it working okay using Vista Codec pack in the previous version it looks like it solved the issue for other people (Finally I can recommend Vista Codec Pack!). Monkey begone! Now I'm sure you've forgotten a few other items in this release though.. hmm what could they be? I guess you wanted to get this video thing tested straight away and that I can understand.. so there are a couple of interesting features coming up in the next release then

The .cs files are compiled into a single exe called HiToText.exe which will be included in GameEx each release. You can of course get the latest version of HiToText.exe and just copy it into the GameEx folder if you like.

ffdshow is included in many "codec packs" and you should choose 1 codec pack and install that. The Vista Codec Pack is one of my favourites, but there are many others like CCCP, KLite etc. Make sure you uninstall all codecs / codec packs before installing it.
