AVI's can be any codec. Open the video up in a hex editor and see if it has XVid or DivX in the header. I'd like to get to the bottom of this if you don't mind. Running that reg file might have solved the problem, did you try it?

You should uninstall all codecs including ffdshow and XVid/DivX codec before installing Vista Codecs (check in Add/Remove programs you don't have any codecs installed already). Don't install any other codecs. What format are the videos your trying to play in GameEx? If they are DivX you may need to run the following registry fix. GameExDivXFix.zip

I belive there is a setting you have to set in the Vista Codec pack. In the "ffdshow video decoder configuration" try setting Xvid codec to "Xvid" instead of "libavcodec". Also in the "XVid decoder settings" set "Compatibility Renderer" on. That should work. Works for me

The main advantage is that it has a newer version of ffdshow and a whole bunch of other codecs for playing XVid, DivX, flv etc. The ffdshow on the GX website is very old.

Have you tried the Vista Codec Pack? It works great with GameEx and has the latest ffdshow with it. It works with XP as well. I recommend this pack now, but make sure you uninstall all your other codecs/packs before installing this. http://shark007.net/

Brands of the World has many manufacturer logos there.

Looks great Flash

Actually there is a guy from over on Aussie Arcade who is starting up an Art of the Arcade website and he has a section called "Girls of the Arcade" Maybe you guys could team up and get it all on one big site. I would recommend making the entire site run through forum software and use what's called a "portal" system. Take a look at aussiearcade.com.au to see what I mean. That whole site is running on vBulletin and works really great, even has a gallery etc. BTW Flash I think my camera only supports jpeg sorry

Lol you need to download the AutoHotKey software and place that code into a text file (call it SendEnter.ahk) then compile it to an exe so it will create SendEnter.exe.

Maybe I'm just blind or something.. I'll take a screenshot maybe you can point out the post button for me. Also attached is a screenshot of the error message I get when I try and view my welcome PM.

In my ControlsDat program you can click the NumButtons column to sort it by number of buttons.

Then you will need to write a simple AutoHotKey script. It would literally look like this Sleep 2000 Send {enter} Sleep is in milliseconds, so change that to whatever you like. Compile it then just add the exe to the end of your batch file.

GeorgeT: Do you mean "printed it" as in onto paper? I don't believe I've played with the printing function much but sounds strange to have the last letter cut off. Either way it sounds like the text measuring is screwing up and not giving the label enough room. I guess it could be something like bk said where you have changed PC's and need to edit the label again to get it to measure the string again?

Whats wrong with using GameEx's built in SendKeys and SendDelay?

From what I've read on Google related to this it sounds like there is interest in LCD Smartie having G15 support and I even read a post claiming that they will be adding support. I also checked the LCD Smartie suggestion forum and there is a post there as well. So you might have to wait a bit and hope they add support soon.

Hey Flash I got out the old Amiga 1200 today and took a photo. I hope the quality is good enough for your website. You might see a tiny cigarette burn mark on the far left side of it, the only imperfection on it, other than that I kept it in great condition Amiga 1200.jpg I also joined up on your forums today but I couldn't find the friggen post button only one to start a poll. So I started a poll

Tempest: Exactly where I was heading with this, a "Wizard" type interface for setting it up (well maybe not a wizard setup but definately a gui of some sort). I wanted to make a wrapper like WinUAE Loader that was universal and could be configured for any emulator via a gui. I understand that alot can be done with AutoIt but I wanted to write this from scratch. There are some things that AutoIt arn't so good for (especially writing user interfaces) as well as the fact it's a scripting language I'm not very familiar with.

Nice work Tom BTW I wonder what happened to Adultery and his AVI logos? I thought they were a good idea. Tom: Just one suggestion for next release can you please turn off the "Bypass Disclaimer/Warnings" option by default? Since it doesn't work on newer versions of Mame anyway. One thing you could do is create a cfg\[ROM].cfg file before launching a Mame game if one doesn't exist and there will be no warnings anyway. Much nicer way of skipping them I think

GameEx supports the LCD Smartie software which supports many different LCD devices. So if it supports your keyboard it will work in GX.

I found this message on the MameWorld forums that might help you.

I fixed your youtube link. It's a bit confusing as I always forget as well, but it's [ youtube ]15adYkIyhXU[ /youtube ] (no spaces)

Your right it would definately have to pause the game then lock input. That would suck losing controls and then dying because you can't get a coin in quick enough hehe

I totally agree and that is why I released CoinDrop in the first place. It was even expanded on but never released publicly and it's purpose was to manage credits for kids, not for commercial use. Still it caused enough of a stir for me to never release it again. I missed that point about PC games.. hmm I wonder how that would work. Close the game after a certain time period? That would be annoying. Perhaps turn off all keyboard input after a certain time until another credit is inserted? hmm I like that idea actually and that would be easy to code something like that. HK rubs his hands together... well if there was enough interest in such a tool I would probably write that. Perhaps I'll add it to my universal wrapper that I've been developing.

Hmm maybe I'll add an option to turn off the loading screens then. It's really strange the log file says that frmLayout is in the foreground, so I have no idea why it isn't. 11/6/2008 9:07:27 PM: Show (frmLayout) -> frmLayout hWnd: 0x721810 11/6/2008 9:07:28 PM: ForceForegroundWindow (HideDesktop) -> Foreground hWnd: 0x721810 11/6/2008 9:07:28 PM: Show (frmLayout) -> Success! Foreground hWnd: 0x721810

Just a bit more info on the wildcard matching you can use either a * or a ? character in the search. Wildcards do not work on a normal search as that just matches any part of what you type (non case sensitive). The wildcard matching is case sensitive. Let me know how the "Scan Folder" thing works, have you had a chance to test it yet?
