You would have to resize the controls to make them smaller. You can do this in image properties but putting a tick next to Sizable and then drag the corner of the image to make it smaller.

You can use standard Mame32 ini files for creating your own categories. To check out the format take a look at Adultery's favourites pack here

Good idea, I'll add that to the readme.txt now

When you install the AT&T Speech engine along with some voices it will show up as a standard voice in MS Text to Speech. So yes you do need to install the AT&T engine and AFAIK it's not free.

You don't need to register WinUAELoader to get rid of that nag screen. Visit the WHDLoad website, you can pay him via PayPal. I have nothing to do with WHDLoad so the registration fee goes to Bert not me You have to place kickstart's in the following folder and rename them as follows WinUAELoader\WHD\Devs\Kickstarts\ kick34005.A500 <-- Actual ROM (Kickstart v1.3 rev 34.5 (1987)(Commodore)(A500-A1000-A2000-CDTV).rom) kick34005.A500.PAT kick34005.A500.RTB kick40068.A1200 <-- Actual ROM (Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 (1993)(Commodore)(A1200).rom) kick40068.A1200.PAT kick40068.A1200.RTB kick40068.A4000 <-- Actual ROM (Kickstart v3.1 rev 40.68 (1993)(Commodore)(A4000).rom) kick40068.A4000.PAT kick40068.A4000.RTB

Version 1.76 released Sorry sbaby I forgot to take a look at the two screen issue. I'll have to remember that one for next release.

I think Tom meant to say obfuscation but one of the software programs to do this is called Dotfuscator. Dotfuscator is a software product that performs various operations on .NET compiled apps to obfuscate them. With .NET's reflection capabilities programs like .NET Reflector allow anyone to pretty much view the source code to anything written in .NET. Obviously programmers don't always like their hard work available for everyone to see. Obfuscation can cause issues in software, for example using enum's in .NET it's quite normal to use ToString() to convert an entry to it's string equivalent. But if the program has run through an obfuscator beforehand the names of the enum entries are renamed. You can see the effect of renaming when an error occurs and you see strange output like a.b() b.c() etc. This can make debugging harder also.

There is no official uninstaller for DirectX; never has been. But there are programs that will remove it. I'm not sure about DirectX 9 though and be careful if you do run one. EDIT: There is one for DX 9 called "DirectX Happy Uninstall".

That was me And now that Brian has overtaken my post count I think I might do a few double posts to catch up

I think you have to get the AT&T Labs Text-to-Speech engine as well as the voices. I used the following demo to create the samples used in the PluginLCD, but I know people have used the Crystal voice with the speech plugin too. http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php BTW Vista has a new voice called Micrsoft Anna which sounds a bit like Crystal. I believe you can get the Anna voice on XP if you install Microsoft Streets and Trips.

Actually Version 2 of the plugin is that separate thread since it was such a large update. This one is not really relevant anymore. THREAD CLOSED See http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=4564

Well you could just double click the one to turn it off and leave it at that. Then turn it back on later if you ever need it. Double clicking a reg file is enough to place it into the registry (it will ask you to confirm it first though). If you want to use LaunchBefore and LaunchAfter then it would look something like this LaunchBefore=reg import "Disable Alt-tab.reg" LaunchAfter=reg import "Enable Alt-tab.reg"

I think Tom already mentioned that this will be a feature of V3 themes. I believe he's aiming for the VMC (Vista Media Centre) look for it, so it wouldn't suprise me if it will look like that.

Check your GameEx log file. Obviously the ROM Path is incorrect or something so I would check that again. Also check your WinUAELoader.log file it might help you discover exactly whats wrong.

Quite easy to do Tom. First thing is to get a Zip library. I recommend the ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll. According to it's doc's it's licence allows you to use it even in commercial products. From their website... Code for extracting zip files is included in that source code I sent you for the bezel attract creator. Simplest way to do it. 1. Extract the archive to a sub folder in the users temp folder (System.IO.Path.GetTempPath()) 2. The UnZip source I gave you accepts a source file and destination path. It will return an array of full paths to each file extracted. 3. Search the archive for extentions that are accepted for the emulator profile (comparing to Path.GetFileExtension()) 4. Launch the emulator pointing the [ROM] and [ROMPATH] variables to the file found in the archive array (String.Replace() and Path.GetFileName() etc) 5. When the program has finished, delete the subfolder in the users temp folder and return back to GameEx I've done a similar thing with Pleasure Extractor and it works fine doing this. Actually it's pretty basic stuff

Version 1.51 Released - Added extra display options - Fixed bug when display not set launching from command line

Have you got stats for visitors on the boards? It would be interesting to know the trends from last year and how they compare to this year.

Tell me about it! I come here every day and find it hard to keep up!

I believe you have OSD turned on in the ffdshow codec. Go to your start menu and find the ffdshow configuration application. See the screenshot on how to turn it off.

Sorry I don't always get time to read entire posts here! Change the following to be False Debug=True

First thing I see is you haven't set the correct working directory. It should be where the program is located not where the shortcut is. Second there are two spaces between "eternal" and "complete". Is that correct?

Sounds like the video converter software is overlaying info to your videos. I would take a look at the options in that program, it is probably something you can turn off.

hmm strange.. when you launch Mame from GameEx try hitting TAB and see how your buttons are configured in the game. Are they as you expect?

I've been meaning to work with Tom in adding a proper option to use CPWizard instead of the GameEx built in one but just haven't got around to it. CPWizard can be launched from command line before the game is run and displayed for a few seconds. But I don't think Mame has a Launch Before option which is the main issue. I'll have to see if this can be done. The command line would looks something like this CPWizard.exe -mode layout -emu mame -game [ROM] -timeout 5000

Wow I didn't know about this. What other cabinets come with GameEx?
