Here is the preview of the Sega Model 2 theme that I've been working on. Up next will be the Sega M3 theme!

I'm glad you like it. Those themes are not ready yet because I haven't made a theme for those systems. Currently GameRoom theme is in Beta and I am in the process of working on the various system themes only MAME, Daphne and the Atari 5200 game themes are available. Those 2 systems are on my list to do thou. UPDATE: I've been working on the Sega Model 2 theme tonight and should have a snap of it tomorrow.

Update! RocketLauncher 1.0 is now out and just converted everything over from HyperLaunch3 and noticed I need to make some command line adjustments in GameEx but so far everything is running perfect with GameEx.

Thanks Tom! Note that the Virtual Drive Loader plugin is not the current version in this update.

Besides releasing the RealSports theme set today I have been working on creating a custom theme for the ATARI XL conversion cartridges. This is the first one that I did .... 3-D TIC-TAC-TOE.

I run PinballX in Portrait mode on my 5 monitor HTPC setup. I have PinballX switch and run on my BenQ rotating monitor as I wanted the tables to run and look just like a real pinball table and I have another monitor above that on a shelf that I use for the backglass once I close PinballX it restores everything and goes back the way it was. To answer your ? I have no problem running PinballX and GameEx together on my setup. Yeah when I revamped my setup recently it took me several weeks as there are sooooo many tables (400+) that I had to update as well as run each table to make sure they ran perfectly and position the DMD correctly on my backglass monitor. I just recently added in Future Pinball and those take a bit of work to setup since I run those just like on a real PinCab. I have to manually tweak each table stretching the table and backglass to the size of my monitors and removing some of the Desktop DMD scoreboard graphics from the tables as well .... thou it's not really that difficult to do it just time consuming. Next up will be Pinball FX2 and Pinball Arcade that I need to setup in PinballX however I might leave those in GameEx and run in desktop mode I haven't decided yet or possibly both ... will see.

So many great tables to play ... I find myself playing pinball more than the arcade games these days thou I do enjoy both[emoji3]

I have so many fond memories of many pinball tables that I played when I was a kid but tend to play Black Knight, Gorgar, Firepower, Xenon, Medusa and Cosmic Gunfight the most. I now have 3 different Visual Pinball's (VP, VP PhysMod, VP X) setup under PinballX now but also have Future Pinball tables as well. I just setup Hercules under VP X and Wow! looks and plays amazing! I remember the first time seeing and playing this when I was a kid. Was a giant table for sure and the author recreated it perfectly in VP X.

Happy B-day!!

Only thing missing is my theme running on your cab T! Well that's if I ever get it completed Once EVO arrives I'll have to make a GameEx Evolution specific theme to match that cab!

Nice T! Now I want one of those ... feel free to send me one of those cabs when Evo comes

Happy B-Day!!!

If you don't mind could you post the batch file as I been needing a tool to do batch copy and renaming for awhile now. Thanks

Unzip MAP and THEMES folder in your GameEx directory. This will place the appropriate files in the GameRoom (1920x1080) theme folder. The Place Holder theme will need to be copied and renamed for each game that you want to have a theme for that hasn't been created yet. It is a generic 5200 Box and Cart theme that I made.

Fixed! Try it now. Sorry had it as a rar file and not zip should work now.

Also today I have for you guys today the Atari 5200 theme set #1 which includes the place holder theme that you can use if you wish for the missing themes until they are completed also it has 20 game themes which include the following: Activision Decathlon, The Joust Asteroids Missile Command Astro Chase Moon Patrol Ballblazer Pac-Man Beamrider Pole Position BerZerk Stargate Blue Print Yellow Submarine Demo Bounty Bob Strikes Back! Zaxxon Centipede Zenji Dig Dug Zone Ranger Also I included a custom map file that will display only the above titles. Enjoy!

Here is the latest Build 1.02 4.12.15 which is just a minor update had to fix the background color on right side of the screen.

@Starbuck I haven't heard from you in awhile old friend was starting to wonder what happened to you. A matter of fact I was planning on that but with these new layouts I needed to create a custom placeholder theme as well. These themes will work just like before and will need to be placed in the Title directory for each system as that is the third layer that these themes will require to work correctly. For best results I recommend using HyperLauncher & HyperPause (soon to be RocketLauncher) but not required. Maybe by later tonight or tomorrow I will have the Atari 5200 Pre-release (only have about 14 game titles so far) ready for you guys to try out with a custom map file so only the games with themes that have been created will be displayed. I will include the custom place holder theme for you as well that you can use if you wish.
