  1. Why does it ask for the same path twice? Daphne Setup

    merge sets

    If I have folders set: roms folder --good set sub-folder --nointro set sub-folder --tosec set sub-folder and "scan sub folders" = yes "merge sets" = yes will it display all sets merged together or are the naming conventions too different? what about adding nongood sets?
  3. I don't see how you can do the part in bold. Right now you can use gameex to set up the following media folders (If there is a way to set up more I haven't noticed it): Jukebox Videos ebooks pictures DVDs on Disk I currently use: Videos for recent recordings folder Jukebox for itunes music folder ebooks for comics folder pictures for photos folder DVDs on Disk for DVD rips folder I'd like an add "new item" --> Item type --> media folder so i can have: media folder1 item name = TV item location = D:\media\archives\TV media folder2 item name = Podcasts item location = C:\itunes\podcasts media folder3 item name = Music Videos item loaction = D:\music\misc\videos
  4. I'd like custom menus to be able to point to other media folders. For example: tv, music videos, podcasts.

    ebooks

    Here's how I fixed this problem on win7(64bit): 1. Uninstall Ghostscript, (worked via windows control panel and there was no registry key to delete). 2. Delete the gs folder. 3. OfflineGameManualInstall.exe does not exist! It was not there. I re-downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of GameEx and it is still not there. (the mythical beast defies those who seek it. ) 4. After reinstalling Gameex manuals are working. Still hoping for an answer to my other question: "Is there a way to display the files other than fillwidth? I'd like to be able to see a whole page at a time and preferably two at a time."

    ebooks

    I have two questions about ebooks. First, I've been trying the ebook reader with .cbz files. Is there a way to display the files other than fillwidth? I'd like to be able to see a whole page at a time and preferably two at a time. Second, I can't get .pdf manuals to work. I read through the forums and see that I can probably fix this with "OfflineGameManualInstall.exe", but I can't seem to find this on the site. Where is this located?

    I see, thanks.

    image2

    How does gameex determine what shows up in the image2 box. Sometimes it shows 3dcabinets, sometimes it shows marquees, sometimes it shows something else.
  9. Okay, so this is theme dependent. The theme I was using didn't have any images in the theme folder. Also .jpg doesn't seem to work just .png.
  10. When I click it I get a one line blank drop down.
  11. In the Advanced Config app for each emulator there is a Custom Background option. How do I use this field? I can't type in it and there is no options to select.
  12. copyright disclaimer
  13. Anyone know how to by-pass the misfitmame 0.128 disclaimer via the .ini or command line? I'm not seeing the option, and I'd rather do it that way then with send keys.
  14. Control panels: It seems there are many ways that you can set up navigation controls on a control panel and I'm not really sure how/why people choose different methods. I don't even know which methods are most popular so let me ask how/why you set up your navigation controls. what inputs do you use for: a. moving up, down left right in the menu system? ? player 1 joystick ? either player 1 or player 2 joystick (both will work) ? separate joystick ? other b. select (enter) and back ? player 1 buttons 1 and 2 ? either player 1 or player 2 buttons 1 and 2 (both will work) ? separate set of buttons ? other c. page up and page down ? button joystick combo ? separate buttons (which ones) ? separate joystick ? other d. power and sleep ? hidden buttons ? side buttons ? menu selection ? other e. sound/volume controls? ? knob ? on/off switch ? vol up, vol down buttons ? mute button ? other f. pause g. esc h. L button Some layouts I've seen including some really nice ones at Knievels kustoms have at the top center: a joystick, a spinner and two buttons. Assuming these are nav controls, how are these inputs used? I have an idea that the joystick is for moving around the menu system, one button is use for select (enter) and one for back (and maybe esc). The spinner might be used for page up and page down but that's a wilder guess than the others. If you use Gameex videos or jukebox, what if any inputs do you use for media controls (Play/Pause, FF, RWD, Next track, Previous Track) Other: I have an idea to put a second drawer under a keyboard drawer for storage of console controllers. Any reason this won't work or is a bad idea? If you use console controllers for console emulation do you have any wired controllers or are you all wireless? If you have wired controllers how/where do you run the wires? Assuming I will need some wired controllers is there any reason that putting usb ports below the monitor would be a bad idea? Wired or wireless light guns?
  15. RadioTime.com has a plugin for Windows Media Center. It would greatly expand the radio feature of GameEx if this can be ported to GameEx.
  16. Thanks. That works. I accidentally had a / in front of [Rom].
  17. I have AAE setup and working outside of GameEx. When starting AAE from within GameEx, instead of loading the game it just starts at the AAE menu screen. Is there a commandline argument that will bypass the menu? Or is there a setting in AAE that I need to change?
  18. I had the problem with 2.97.07 so I upgraded to 2.97.08 but that didn't fix the problem. I tried many different resolutions but 640x480 mainly. I finally rebooted my machine and the problems went away. Thanks.
  19. It goes fullscreen for 1-3 seconds.
  20. I can't seem to get Final Burn Alpha to work in fullscreen. I had it working with Afterburn II once from the fba.exe gui but have not been able to replicate that. The ini file has the same setting options as the gui and I've tried numerous combinations of settings. It does not crash or give me errors. The screen goes blank for a second and then it just minimizes to taskbar sometimes running for 2 or 3 seconds before minimizing. Selecting it in the taskbar when minimized repeats the pattern. I've turned off windows transparency and closed all other programs that might interfere. I'm running win7 with a native resolution of 1680x1050. Any suggestions?
  21. Mine (from GameEx install) only had 51 Games. Thanks for posting the full version.
  22. If anyone has a numbered zinc map file with all 71 games and can post it, please do? Thanks
  23. my bad...I missed the Zip/7zip/GoodMerge toggle in the emulator configuration.
  24. my.vpt files are individually torrentzipped, GameEx is sending the zip file in the commandline: 18:23:27.7 2/20/2011: Running: cmd.exe /c D: VPinball.exe -play -"D:\Games\Visual Pinball\Tables\Simpsons Pinball Party, The (Stern) (2003).zip" Do I need to setup with the .vpt files extracted? Doesn't GameEx have this function? What am I doing wrong?
  25. Cool. Looks like Mame started supporting some laserdisc games in v0.127. I just finished an upgrade from 0.126 to 0.141.
