Thank you, bkenobi. Actually I wouldnt mind the work at all. I have already got my pc games setup in game-ex, now I am about to get some snaps made for them. Then I am going to try to make the custom database....just hope editing the fields arent hard.....all I want to add is a brief description and the year it was made...putting company and category isnt important. Then after that, I would like to have it play certain music while browsing through the pc games. Like actually music from the games which is a lil harder to find than I thought...unless you like midi versions of the music which just sound horrible to me. The custom background idea for each game isnt bad...but my artwork and theme editor skills suck, so that would take me an eternity. Especially if I have all my pc games installed...

I WANT, ME WANT, I WANT, ME WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW NOW NOW!!! I like the artwork you have added in behind the romlists makes it look all the more flashy. Very nice looking so far, cant wait for the d/l to be up!

Thx for the answers, but how could I make my own database for the games I do have? I'm still new to it all, I think someone mentioned you have to have some kind of special editor.. I am just trying to get game-ex showing everything (screenshots,info) for everything I have. Nit picking I know....

I have noticed all the other games have nice info about them, and I was wondering if there was a pc database yet that would do the same thing for the computer games. Thx in advance

Nope, everything in your tutorial was very easy to follow chriss, it worked for me perfectly. The most played screen in game-ex stopped functioning on me prior to any of it because my computer shut off during a power outage and it corrupted a file within game-ex.....I cant remember the exact name of it..something Data and it had to be deleted so thereafter the most played screen in game-ex just shows nothing. I guess the file contained my most played data...the last played still works fine and everything. I figured that game-ex would rebuild the file when I relaunched it but it hasnt so I guess the only option left is to reinstall. That's why I am going to copy my current directory so i can just paste it back when I reinstall so my configuration will still be setup along with my themes. Thx for all your help again guys.

Have any of you guys got a 360 controller to emulate the gun shooting games smoothly?? Everytime I attempt to play one the gun cursor is way too sensitive, and flys across the screen when I attempt to shoot something.....what do I settings do I need to change to get this under control somewhat?? Thx in advance.

Thank you everyone who has replied, this is an extremely helpful forum. I compiled my own mameplus! using chriss' tutorial to skip the warning screens, and lo and behold the bezels work for it now. Now all I have to do is copy my directory, so I can reinstall game-ex again to get back my most played screen with my current settings. Appreciate all of your help!

@bkenobi: Ahhh I figured it wouldnt work on other emulators because of something like that. Would be nice though, but not worth all the extra work involved. @chriss: I tried Mame instead of Mameplus!, and yeah they do come on there, so I must have messed up Mameplus! configuration...thx for reminding me to check that out. Now after some tweaking I will have them back on there.

Thanks for the help guys. I have decided to just reinstall game ex, because I can't see what I have done to make it turn off the game info across the bottom. In the advanced config bezel settings I dont see an option for using "2" , just yes or no, unless you are talking about an .ini or something. So, will it matter if I just install game ex over my old installed one without removing it first? I would like to keep the themes and images and do not know if I would need to copy them somewhere else. Oh and Chriss, I read your topic on removing the nag screen from Mame. Thank you!! But is there a way to get rid of the initializing and decoding dialog boxes as well when the rom is loading??

Hello all. First, thank you Tom for making Gameex. It has made me waste away several hours of my life enjoying the sheer awesomeness of it. I have 3 questions.... Somehow one of my files in game ex got corrupted.......Data something anyways now my most played games shows nothing found....anyway of fixing this aside from reinstalling? The last played still works fine just most played shows nothing... I have been fooling around with Mameplus! and changing resolutions and what not. Now the game info bezels that are on the bottom no longer come on when running the screensaver....solution for that? Is there anyway to implement the game info bezels for other emulators? That would be really nice to see one for every game shown in the attract mode. Maybe it can't be done cus the other emulators do not support artwork or something like that? Anyways, thank you for the help in advance. Reading through the forums I have already seen that this is a great group of people when it comes to help.
