Ok here is EXtension Pak #9 which includes: - Casio Loopy - ZiNc - Sega SC-3000 - Sega SF-7000 Ok link is working now!

I see you are right I thought I did but that was right around the time I started upgrading my computer. No prob stay putt I will have it uploaded in about 5 mins.

I have what sega systems you referring too?

yes. I have thought about doing a few orher systems but I am currently waiting for EVO before I move forward with this project. Just wanted to show you a taste of what you can do with the current engine. I think it looks pretty sweet.

Ok guys I have a little suprise for you today! Here is an early preview of my revised Atari 2600 theme which includes a special map file to list only the games that I have created themes for. Included in this zip are 36 individual game themes. To install unzip where you have your GameEx folder and overwrite all files. Make sure you have a backup of your Atari 2600 theme before doing this so you can revert back if you so do to choose also copy all files in the title folder to where you have your Atari 2600 title media folder at and configure the GameEx setup wizard directory for the Titles. Also make sure you add the included map files under your Atari 2600 setup in GameEx as well so it will list only these titles. Note: This is far from being complete but wanted to show you what you can do with the current version of GameEx to create some cool individual game themes. Just make sure your game zip's match the individual game theme names in the Title folder. Give it a go and tell me what you think!

Nah ... I tested it on both Win 7 and Win 8 and the results were the same. The only way to fix the stutter was what I mentioned in my post. 2 video cards is the key. Well I got my system upgraded and re-installed GameEx tonight now I just need to re-configure all my settings as I decided to change all my drive letterings which in turn screwed up all my emulator settings. No big deal just need to change the directorys in each. Maybe at some point I'll get back into messing around with creating some more themes. I have had my Atari 2600 theme project on the back burner but haven't forgotten that as I have around 30 game themes done so far and it looks and runs amazing. Totally takes this theme to the next level in my book. Anyways I am getting back into this soon so stay tuned.

Just this weekend over on GOG you can get Painkiller Black Edition for only $2.99 (No Brainer)

@GimmieClassics First thing you can re-name the Gameroom Competition theme to whatever you want just make sure your emulator that you set it up under matches the name of the theme. Second thing is when you setup Steam as an emulator just create shortcuts to your games and setup the emulator to point to where you save the links at. You can then create a custom map file for those links if you want to or just re-name those links to what you want to call them. Then call the links by using the following command line: ""[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"" (notice the double quotes).

Sorry just saw your post and you were right about that. I will get back to you about Steam I am still in process of upgrades yes it's been a long process so I am typing this on my phone via Tapatalk so I will get back to you about how to fix that.

When upgrading to Win 8 just look at all your programs that you use because some don't work or have issues with W8.

Thanks it's been a very long weekend working on this. Long way from being done but I am getting there so I will be ready for EVO.

Ok for me guys this has been an issue for awhile like so many. I have fixed my issue with this by adding another video card to my system. If your curious a on how I did all this look here. It gives you an overall idea on what I did using 2 different video cards in the same computer and also with 3rd party software I was able to do some monitor adjustments to make everything work nice and smooth with PinballX. Hope it helps someone.

Update: I managed to fix my Visual Pinball ball stuttering that so many have been complaining about as well even on the Higher end tables. I put my Backglass on my GTX760 and my tables w/PinballX are on the GTX670. Took alot of tweaking with the help of Display Fusion but everything runs very smooth. The table are on Monitor 2 and the Backglass is on monitor 3 While monitor 1 is my Desktop HDTV and I don't use that since monitor 2 actually is a nvidia 3D ready monitor that rotates so I can have the table in portait mode. Hope this helps anyone else that was ever having these kinda issues with VP. How I manage to use Display Fusion if your wondering was to creating monitor profiles to arrange my monitors and have PinballX call the Display Fusion monitor profiles before running PinballX and after to restore my desktop. PinballX will launch on monitor 2 where the tables are run and the backglass is on monitor 3. I can even use my main HDTV to display custom art for each table if I wanted to with the help of Display Fusion and Adulterys plugin Quicklaunch. So essentially I had Display Fusion change my default monitor as well as how the monitors were arranged because the DMD would no stay on the correct monitor for the backglass unless I had them in a certain order probally due to me having 3 monitors. 2 are 1920x1080 and 1 is at 1280x1024 and I think nVidia drivers have an issue with that but I managed to figure out a way around all that. Note: So to those that say you can't run 2 different manufacturers and model of video card well they would be wrong as I have it running on my system without a hitch. The only thing that you need to make sure of not to have any issues is that both cards need to use the same drivers meaning you need to also make sure that both cards are nVidia or they both are ATI ...not mixed. I have PNY Nvidia GTX760 and the other is a EVGA GTX670 on my setup. Now that I got PinballX all running smooth on Win 8.1 Pro time to move on to GameEx and settting everything back up. This is gonna take awhile.

Sheesh it's now 3:08 in the morning and I am just now finally getting Win 8.1 Pro installed and updated and so far everything is working and I even have this running with 2 different nVidia cards (Non-SLI) installed a GTX670 (HDTV) and a GTX760 for my secondary and third monitor. Off to bed now maybe tomorrow I'll have time to get GameEx back up and running.

@Draco I found one issue I was having with Win 8.1. I was overclocking my motherboard to high for starters it would work fine under Win 7 at those speeds but Win 8 was not doing so well so I have reverted back to the default speeds and it is running smooth so far Will give more test in the morning.

Hope that fixed your issue

@GimmieClassics 1st thing when setting up Steam with GameEx if you use the built -in feature it will use Gameroom default layout this is an issue with GameEx. If you want to use my STEAM theme then you need to set it up as a seperate emulator. Nothing I can do about that as it is a known issue with GameEx currently that is. Second you need to setup the Gameroom Competition theme as a seperate emulator not thru MAME. If you did that then in your Custom Menu config make sure you point to the Competition setup not MAME. Looks like you have it pointing to MAME not to the Gameroom Competition emulator per say. I think that will fix your issue. Then make sure in the Gameroom Competition you also add your Gameroom Competition map file which I take is your MAME list.

For one thing my nVidia 3d glasses emitter keeps turning off but under Win 7 it stays on. I have a few apps as well that don't work well under Win 8. With that said it really not that big of a deal because next to my main pc is my touch screen arcade pc and it is running win 8.1 so I have the best of both worlds. If you see my man cave it looks like a NASA command center with 5 monitors and HDTV on the wall at my desk. There are a few other quirks that just irritates me under win 8 so I am switching it back to Win 7. I like both Win 7 and 8.1 just not on main pc for now.

Like I said before I am still in the middle of upgrading and installing reinstalling everything which I don't have GameEx installed currently so I can't look into your issue as of yet but rest assure I should be back up and running by tomorrow in which case I can then look at it. So please be patient I will look into it as soon as possible. Right now for whatever reason Win 8 just seems not be happy on this PC so once again I am reinstalling Win 7 tonight

@GimmeClassics I'll look into your issue soon as I don't have everything back up and running as of yet. I am in the middle of upgrading my system. Just wiped clean Windows 7 and doing a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro and I don't have GameEx setup yet. Just got Windows 8.1 Pro installed and updated. Now to re-install all my software ... fun part!

I am gonna be down for awhile doing some upgrades to my system as I am getting everything ready for EVO's release.

I know that I am still missing quite a few. Alot of the remaining systems I don't even run on my setup reason why I have never got around to creating a theme for them. I know there are quite a few out there that people do use so eventually I will get around to doing them. Btw Playstation2 theme has already been released so you should have that one already best you double check that one.

Sega SF-7000 theme is done!

It's pretty much done I've just never announced that I finished it. The Sega SF-7000 theme is also just about done as well. Will have pics to follow soon with a release soon. I'm suprised you didn't catch that I slipped in Alice32 theme in the last release.

What was your fav theme btw? If you don't mind me askin' I'm glad you guys like it even more knowing that someone out there in the GameEx world is actually using it on there HTPC or Arcade Cab. Makes it all worth it. @Starbuck btw I'm working on the Sega SF-7000 theme next!
