Krakerman

Ok I've had this done for awhile but finally getting around to showing you all.

I must say I've been quite lazy working on the theme as of late however I did get one thing completed today and that would be the Astrocade theme.

Back online!

I know this isn't directly related to GameEx, but seems like those sites are currently down.

Work in progress ... No real ETA yet. Thanks for all the kind words you guys as it keeps me going to complete it.

[REQUEST] We need to be able to change fonts, colors, and sizes for each emulator individually. Much much needed!! Also GameEx needs real video stretching.

Ok guys here is a sneek peek at the latest systems N64 and Visual Pinball

All yeah without a doubt (N64 is already done!) This theme is covering a very extensive list of systems. I'll post some more maybe this weekend if I get around too it. Stay tuned!

Very nice Draco! I know the same feeling as I am making slow progress on my theme due to work, sports, and whatever life is throwing at me

Me and my wife did our V-Day this past weekend so tonight I just sat and watch the Ohio State game as they beat Minnesota !! Go Bucks ...

Thanks Tom! Been quite around here lately..

Not that. The text that says: By Name, By Manufacturer By Category By Year

Guess not... needs to be added to the [REQUEST] list. The reason is it just takes up so much text space across the menu that is just looks bad and I really don't use the sorting features as I like them listed from A-Z which is the default. All the sorting menu items when listed almost strecth across the entire screen. Maybe it's just me but it interferes with the look of alot of the themes graphics.

Is it possible to disable sorting within MAME? For example in GameEx I want to turn off sort by name, manufacturer ect ect. .. Can this be done in GameEx?

Fixed it! Tracked it down to being the background image was not properly set.

Thanks Tom!

What I mean is in the setup wizard it just says programdata and doesn't even have the filename. The file is actually arcade.ogg not arcade.mp3 in that folder. So if I understand correctly I have to move all my mp3's to that folder no matter what the filenames are? Also do I need to convert them to .ogg or leave as .mp3?

I have the ambience playing when I installed GameEx the default which is kinda starnge in the setup wizard it just has the like c:\programdata for the arcade ambience mp3. If I enter my own it doesn't work. The funny thing is I can't find any folder or file in my C:\ directory called programdata but when I use that filename it works. Strange .....

The rest of that error log didn't seem to pertain to any issue that I saw. I will look over my mameemumap and everything is in order hmmmmmm. Will look over it again tomorrow night

In the setup wizard it seems you can't select your own arcade ambiance mp3 file. The default seems to be c:\programdata ???? I have a bunch of arcade ambiance mp3's and want to use them. I tried manually pointing to them but it doesn't work. Such as c:\GameEx\arcade86.mp3 but no audio???

Ok guys so I setup another version of MAME within gameex but when I hit the ESC key to exit back to GameEX it crashes with the following: 22:37:42.3 2/7/2012: Exiting Game 22:37:42.3 2/7/2012: Closing Process 22:37:43.7 2/7/2012: Writing Stats 22:37:43.7 2/7/2012: Plugin: Game Exit 22:37:43.7 2/7/2012: Plugin: Process Commands 22:37:43.8 2/7/2012: Initialising Audio 22:37:43.9 2/7/2012: Relaunching HideOS 22:37:44.1 2/7/2012: Restoring Window 22:37:44.1 2/7/2012: Reinitializing Graphics System 22:37:44.2 2/7/2012: Mouse Input is disabled 22:37:45.6 2/7/2012: Shutting down RawInput Hook 22:37:45.6 2/7/2012: Writing MAME stats 22:37:45.7 2/7/2012: Plugin: Game Exit 22:37:45.7 2/7/2012: Plugin: Process Commands 22:37:45.7 2/7/2012: Restoring Window 22:37:45.7 2/7/2012: Reinitializing Graphics System 22:37:45.9 2/7/2012: Mouse Input is disabled 22:37:47.0 2/7/2012: Returning to GameEx 22:37:47.4 2/7/2012: 21 Consecutive Exceptions Occured 22:37:47.4 2/7/2012: Index was outside the bounds of the array. 22:37:47.4 2/7/2012: at ag.t(Boolean A_0) 22:37:47.4 2/7/2012: at ag.ad() 22:37:47.4 2/7/2012: Trying reinitialising the display after sleeping for 4 seconds 22:37:47.4 2/7/2012: Exception count will be dropped to 15 22:37:51.6 2/7/2012: Mouse Input is disabled 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: --**-- 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: 21 Consecutive Exceptions Occured: Exiting 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: Closing database connection 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: First Exception: 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: Index was outside the bounds of the array. 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: at ag.t(Boolean A_0) 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: at ag.ad() 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: Last Exception: 22:37:52.8 2/7/2012: Index was outside the bounds of the array. 22:37:52.9 2/7/2012: at ag.t(Boolean A_0) 22:37:52.9 2/7/2012: at ag.ad()

Forgot to add 1 more to the mix

Polished up and completed a few more Atari consoles today.

I know but those graphics came from an old intellivision catalog so I want to stick with the graphics from that era (Retro!). I really think the other one was just to plain and boring, but i might just keep the one you guys like as an alternate and include it so you could choose which one you want to use. Thanks for the input.

That's because the screen was resized down to 800x600 to attach it to the forum which might give you that impression, but the actual size 1920x1080 on my 47" Vizio I think it looks fine. These will be the final version of them as I have spent way to much time probally going back and changing them, sorry!
