And you were correct @Draco1962, there were two setups for Clone Hero. I shutdown the External Applications one and now the menu shows correctly. Thank you both very much for all the assist.

I know for sure I have only 1 slot setup for it, as Emulator 1, but I will check on Friday when I am there. TY.

And, quick video demo with a look at the real wood custom Ashley Rock Axe controller install. 432476033_7320329418015017_6228285104674349794_n.mp4

Odd question.. with the settings shown above we get Two listings for Clone Hero in the Start Menu of FE. Any idea how to remove one of the listings?

Our deepest thanks to you and @Phantom both. I will soon post some video examples of the program running.

GameEx.ini log.txt Draco.. tried your settings shown above. I think it is working. Will give it a wider test range over the week. Will advise, thank you.

Had a delay due to elder of the family health issue. Will try to get to the machine asap. Thank you.

Awesome attempt. I will be at the machine on Tuesday eve and will give it a go. TY. Will advise.

Yes. The CH program runs flawlessly outside of the GameEx front end. Loads up, accepts controller input, sees the song list roms in their specific folder, and plays well on the arcade cabinet's PC.

Interesting link, thank you. Generally all we need do is run a command that hides the FE and opens GH in fullscreen. The entire game activity, including loading songs and gameplay takes place in that program. There would be no need for Rom Setup or the extra command line items, just a stable exe.

Will do so asap. Not at the machine until Tuesday eve.

Hi all. I recently installed Clone Hero (a Guitar Hero for PC emu) onto my arcade cabinet pc and set it up to be run as an External Application from the front end. When the GameEx menu comes up the title of Clone Hero is shown in the list and when running that item the executable in the CH folder on the main drive is targeted.. GameEx minimizes, the background desktop (running show desktop during the tests) is black with desktop icons still shown, but the CH program is running minimized and with not display on screen. Hitting Exit (escape) brings us back to the front end menu as expected. My first time running an external program this way via the front end. Thoughts?

Does seem to be the 'easy' way. Will give it a try and advise. TY.

Finding each and every lightgun rom and moving them to a separate folder... Gods save us. o.0

This would be a setup separate from the base MAME config in the GameEx configuration > Emulator Setup (#1 in this case), specifically laid out to go to lightgun roms, snaps, etc only?
