You get this error if you have more than 19 emulators in the theme editor emu background saved. So you have to manually delete the files "Theme_Background_[name of the emulator]" for the theme editor to work again! Can we get this fixed?

This theme editor crash!

Thanks Tempest!

Well what is the new command line? Is it this: [VIRTUALDRIVE]:\

Thanks Tom. So I already have DTLite setup in GameEx for Saturn emulation do I need to change anything as far as the command line? Before we had to use the Launch before and launch after feature. Now we can remove that or ?

Thanks Tom!

Ok I was thinking this might be a way to skin each emulator and mame game if we were able to create foreground images as well. Guess I'll save it for a request then. Thanks!

Just curious Tom if these background images can have foreground images as well with them at all?

Ok thanks.

Well the view just shows a snap. I don't see where you can create a custom theme and go into the theme editor and move the boxes around to my liking for each game or was the feature not intended for that purpose? I guess I just have to create a new background image for the rom and name it the same as the rom file, but the image windows and list (ect ect that you setup in the Theme Editor) have to stay in the default locations that you setup in that emulator/MAME. Is that what I have to do?

Ok Tom I'm a bit confused on the MAME game specific background snap feature. So this actually doesn't allow you to make a custom theme for each rom does it? All it appears it does is display a snap image. I was kinda looking to create a custom theme for each game just like you do for emulators or am I missing something?

Always glad to help out

D/l'ing and testing 12.46. UPDATE!: The Setup Wizard HTPC options are now fixed and so is the loading. No longer delays or stutters. Thanks Tom for the very fast fix update. Will have more time tomorrow to play around with it. Those two issues have been fixed.

How you guys like that one? I was debating if I want to show box images on this screen as there just isn't enuff room I don't think and most of the images aren't all the same sizes. Box images as you can tell are displayed on the far left side of the screen. The screen looks a bit squished also as I down sized the image so it doesn't take much space to upload it. This theme is in 1080p and looks bitchin on a big screen I must say!

Here is another sneak peek for you

Thanks Tom Glad it wasn't just me

Win 7 x64 ATI 5870 card w/16gb system ram. Also I am not running any media servers currently. Did you see the setup wizard issues under the HTPC settings?

Thanks Tom installing now and look forward to checking it out. Long delay when I ran it to the point I thought it crashed but then it stuttered then ran ok. When I ran again it stuttered then ran ok. Also I noticed in the Setup Wizard very strange Weather Icon settings is displayed twice with also video options ???

Well alot of times each game does need to be configured differently within WinUAE since they might use different Kickstarts ect ect.. and it also works with CD32 games as well.

Fooled again

I figured out why. It seems if you have a emulator setup within GameEx with slashes in the name (/) like Atari 400/800 it will create an error in the Theme Editor when you try to save the theme. Removing the slash within GameEx setup wizard fixes it.

A Generic error occurred in GDI+ ????

maybe a feature request I guess if it is possible.

Just gave it a try and created my first [Arcade] Nintendo VS map file Worked like a charm. Thanks to the magician illusionist

I knew Tempest would come thru Thanks.
