D/L'n now!! Thanks guys Super cool .... really diggin the new setup wizard!!

Nice!

@fRequEnCy If you do that it returns an Error everytime.

No problem glad you got it working!

It goes to black screen probably because you need to have the Show Desktop set to YES.

Very Nice Tom!! Thanks to all Really like the new window resizing ... Just need to be able select a bigger font size so those of us like myself with HDTV can read it better when sitting back away from the screen. Also when you start the setup wizard it doesn't remember the window size you had it at so when you open it up again you have to stretch the window every single time.

Well I don't see in your config what your other emulator configurations are? but for FCEU it looks like you have it setup wrong: Running: cmd.exe /c C: fceux.exe "C:\MAME\Nintendo Entertainment System\ROMS\Addams Family, The (USA).zip" Re-check your setup and make sure it looks like this on your system: WorkingPath=C:\MAME\Nintendo Entertainment System RomPath=C:\MAME\Nintendo Entertainment System\ROMS Command=fceux.exe "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

@Adultery Yup!

Got it! Thanx guys for the help I'm in the process of re-doing my entire entertainment system and upgrading all the emulators ect. Including the switch over to Draco's Sins of a Solar Empire theme (Awesome btw) however I found with ScummVM the following command line just needs to be: Scummvm.exe "[ROMFile]" With the mapfile created by WaHoo.

So I upgraded ScummVM to the newest version 1.3.0 and now the old setup that I used in GameEx no longer works. Is there a newer way to get scumm to work with GameEx? I tried searching as I remember not too long ago someone mentioned a easier way to run scumm games. Thanks

ODYEMU doesn't run on Win 7 x64 systems

Anyone know a good 70's Pong Sim? Not the Arcade version but the console ones that were made by Sears & Atari that play Squash/Tennis/Hockey at all for Win 7. Been searching around the net but haven't found any good one at all.

New version of Altirra (v1.9) has been released if anyone hasn't noticed already! Guess maybe we should have a different group for emulator releases that anyone has found and post about. What ya all think?

@Draco Where you say? As an emulator Here is the code to save this as VirtualBox.ini and put it in your Config/Emulators folder within GameEx. This will be the file within your VirtualBox emulator setup to set as the Advanced Config. I have a real hard time trying to explain these things so if someone else wants to jump in and explain it better than me feel free. ------ Cut -------- # This is an advanced emulator configuration file. It does things such as allow keyboard only emulators to be operated by a gamepad, wait for additional processes to exit and map keys. If this file is used it overrides the MAPKeys setting for the emulator. [GENERAL] # Enabled. Use this. Enabled=True #Make MCE Back button and X-ARCADE Escape and SlikStik Escape to close emulator process MapBack=True #Make Escape key close emulator process MapEscape=false #When exiting an emulator via the above mappings, you can specify keys in the send keys format to send instead of having GameEx close the process to cleanly exit the emulator.

I put that shortcut file that I created in a directory I made in GameEx folder called "C:\GameEx\Batch Files\VirtualBox". And this will work for as many Virtual Enviroments that you make it's not limited to just one, just put all the shortcut batch files that you make in that directory. Here is a same config to setup in GameEx (You can change the directories to wherever you put your folders): ------- Cut ---------- Enabled=True STARTPAGENAME=VirtualBox TITLETEXT=VirtualBox StartPageLogo=VirtualBox WorkingPath=C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox RomPath=C:\GameEx\Batch Files\VirtualBox ROMFilter=*.lnk Command=VBoxManage.exe startvm "[ROM]" SnapPath=C:\GameEx\Box Scans\VirtualBox MapKeys=False ReplaceDash=False ReplaceUnder=True Capitals=False RemoveBrackets=True ShowDesktop=True Debug=False ShowMostPlayed=False configFile=VirtualBox -------- End --------- As for busting my chops Draco that is quite ok as it isn't the first time someone has done that and probably won't be the last time either I'd be disappointed if someone didn't (hahaha).Hopefully some of this make sense to the n00bs. If not then I'm sure they'll speak up

Gladly! Well I basically created a shortcut to my VirtualBox OS. My Shortcut was named "Microsoft Windows XP Home.lnk". Then I set up VirtualBox in GameEx like you would run a batch file except the command line should read as follows: VBoxManage.exe startvm "[ROM]". I also created a advanced config file named "VirtualBox.ini" to look at two files named: "VirtualBox" & "VBoxSVC" where is ask for Additional processes to wait to exit or close on exit. Added the Advanced config file to my VirtualBox setup in GameEx. That's it and it runs perfectly. Make sure your Roms folder is where you have the .lnk file located and the Startup folder is pointed where VirtualBox is installed. Enjoy!

After some searching on the Internet and figuring out all the command line options of VirtualBox I got it working with GameEx.

I have a copy of Win XP Home that I bought at Fry's and installed and running perfect even from the desktop shortcut I created on the desktop, but when I tried setting it up in GameEx via batch file (*.lnk) it doesn't run for some reason, but will work when I click on the shortcut on the desktop.One reason for setting this up this way is I am running GameEx as an Entertainment Media Center and not on an Arcade Cabinet.Guess I'll mess with it more later and see what I come up with.

I'm sure this has been asked before or posted, but I did a search a found nothing about how to get this to run from GameEx. I tried creating a shortcut to my VB WinXP by creating the shortcut within VB, but when I setup GameEx to run it it just exits back to GameEx. Anyone have this setup in GameEx and would like to share how to get it running. Thanks. BTW here is a good logo image I found for VB as well

Couldn't tell ya I don't live in Europe even thou sometimes I wish I did Probally had more games than the US version did also ...

Also if it hasn't been mentioned Draco your Sega Dreamcast Logo is also the European version not the US as it was orange.

Firing up Gimp now and will give it a go and see what I can do with alternate logo's. Been thinking of creating themes as well might give it a go too. Thanks (Obi-Wan) I mean Draco. Update: @Draco when I start Gimp the main window is always positioned like a 1/2" down from the top of my screen. I stretch the window full screen and save the position of the window, but when I close Gimp and re-open it it is back to 1/2" down again. How do I save it so everytime I open Gimp it's at full screen?

Here is one actually Draco along your logo pack likeness, but needs some of your Gimp touch done too it

Here is a good MSDOS Logo.

Thanks!

Here is another kool Alternate MAME logo I found.
