  1. I have a Dell 2005FPW widescreen LCD monitor. It has three different scaling options in the on-screen menu for handling resolutions lower than its native resolution. The three options are 1:1, aspect, and fill. 1:1 will usually have a black border around all of the edges of a low resolution image. 640x480 will appear as a small image in the center of the monitor with black surrounding it. Aspect scales the image as large as possible without changing the aspect ratio. 640x480 will fill the screen vertically leaving black bars on the right and left sides. Fill will stretch the image to fill the whole screen. 640x480 will appear streched horizontally. If you can find a monitor with similar settings you may be able to configure it to work the way you want.
  2. In the input settings there is an option called Alpha Paging at the top. Turn this on, then press the shift button (may differ depending on your input device) and scroll up and down the list. It will jump to the next starting letter of the game name.
  3. Pressing the delete key in the game list will remove the currently selected game from the list.
  4. No Intro just supplies the dats. Dat files contain a rom signature and associated filename. When you use the dat files with a rom manager like ClrMamePro or RomCenter it can organize and rename your roms based on the contents of the dat. The rom signatures stored in the dat allow the rom manager to detect which rom is which by the binary contents of the rom - regardless of filename. So you basically load the correct dat into the rom manager and run it on your huge set of roms. The rom manager will then pick out the roms that the dat identifies (the best ones if you're using the No Intro dats).
  5. Windows uses the space character to delimit each of the arguments to the executable. So, some_exe.exe arg1 arg2 has two arguments. The problem occurs when the arguments have spaces in them. For example, some_exe.exe C:\Program Files C:\Program would be seen as argument 1 and Files would be seen as argument 2, which is not what you were intending. Placing double quotes around each argument tells windows that everything within the quotes is one argument. some_exe.exe "C:\Program Files" sends C:\Program Files as a single argument, avoiding the problem caused by the spaces. It doesn't hurt anything to use quotes even when you don't need them. So when you're using variables to pass arguments that might have spaces, just stick quotes around them to ensure that they're treated as a single argument. Hence, some_exe.exe "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]" I hope that helps you understand why the quotes are needed
  6. Here's a guide for converting MOV to AVI. I tried it on one of the clips from the website that you linked and it worked fine. I used the Xvid codec and set the bitrate to 2500 kbps. The resulting AVI was about the same size and quality as the MOV.
  7. I think this is exactly what you're looking for: No-Intro Project Here's their mission statement from the website: Their NES dat isn't really up to date (they're waiting for Cowering to release GoodNES 3.0), but I think the others are in good shape.
  8. Try putting quotes around the rom path: NeoPop-Win32.exe "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

    NES/SNES Snaps

  10. Here are my Nestopia settings: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?ac...findpost&p=7348
  11. 5.96 fixed my crashing problem. Thanks for the quick fix!
  12. Thanks!
  13. Removing the Ultramon commands fixes the problem. All that Ultramon is doing is making the second display primary when GameEx starts and then making the first display primary again when GameEx exits. If I change the primary display manually before starting GameEx, then it starts fine. So it must have something to do with the timing of the display switching while GameEx is starting.
  14. Ok, I tried editing the "Default - Custom V2 Default 640x480" theme and saving it. I'm still getting exactly the same error. I do have this theme selected in the GameEx config. The old V1 themes aren't working for me either.
  15. I just updated from 5.84 to 5.94 and GameEx is crashing on startup. I looked through the settings, but I don't think I changed anything significant. I've tried restarting the computer. Any idea what could be wrong? log.txt

    NES problem

    I switched from VirtuaNes to Nestopia partially because of the engrish problems and also because VirtuaNes hasn't been updated in years. Nestopia is working just as well as VirtuaNes and it's easier to setup. The developers are also active in their forum. Here are my current GameEx and Nestopia settings: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?ac...findpost&p=7348 . I use USB gamepads for control and didn't have any problems configuring them.

    vBulletin everytime!

    For me the problem is that I don't receive any notification emails. It's turned on correctly in my account settings, but nothing seems to get through. There must be a spam filter somewhere in the mail route that's eating all the messages sent by this board. Tom do you know what email address this board sends mail from?
  18. I think that the delete key will remove games from the lists in GameEx. I haven't tried it before, so I'm not 100% sure though.

    restart Gameex

    I have two usb gamepads plugged in and they can both control GameEx when configured correctly in the GameEx config. If only one is plugged in when GameEx is started and the other one is plugged in after GameEx is started, then the second one won't function until GameEx is restarted. This is only really a problem if neither of the gamepads are plugged in when GameEx is started because then you have to use another method to exit and restart GameEx.

    sega cd games?

    I can't help you with sending keys, but UltraISO has a CD image converter in it's tools menu. I haven't tried it on Sega CDs, but it has worked with some Playstation CDs that I needed to convert.

    restart Gameex

    I have the same problem, but I just leave the gamepads plugged in all the time. If GameEx could detect when a new one was plugged in that would be cool...
  22. If you have flat menus set to false then NES should show up under emulated games in GameEx. Perhaps you're not looking in the right place for it in GameEx (?). If you've followed headkaze's advice I'm not sure what could be wrong.
  23. You just set up Nestopia as an emulator instead of a program. Here are my settings: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?ac...findpost&p=7348
  24. I prefer Nestopia for NES and zSNES for SNES. My settings for these are here: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?ac...findpost&p=7583
  25. Girder should do it as Tom suggested. I still use one of the older versions from when it was free.
