How about using GameEx through MediaPortal so i don't have to switch FrontEnds just to play a game? I am saying sth just like the Media Center Plug In that GameEx has. Although i haven't used it, from what i get from the title it "launches" the GameEx through the Built-in Windows Media Center! Is it possible to have sth like that for MediaPortal? I also saw somewhere that there is a plugin for the MediaPortal to play Roms but i don't thing that it's even close to what GameEx can do!

The script i am using is:

Hmmm! I know Java, JavaScript and XML but never heard AutoHotKey! From a quick wiki read i saw that this is a scripting language in order to automate tasks? Is it difficult to learn it?I am asking cause i couldn't find any "tutorial"!The wiki page is really short, but from what i read i am really triggered to use it! Haven't searched thoroughly cause in 3 weeks or so my exams in uni start so i don't have so much time! ps: i am planning to "rebuild" my HTPC in order to "automate" things and make it more user-friendly. I am planning to create 3 users in the startup page: 1: GameEx 2: MediaPortal 3: Just-Windows When i choose the 2nd user i want to have the windows start only the MediaPortal (i don't want to see any desktop etc) (i will make it start up with windows) I was planning to do this with GameEx but the thing is that i couldn't because i have to open BlueSoleil,Connect the WiiRemote,Open GlovePie, open the script and hit run. Is it possible with AHK to automate those tasks {open BlueSoleil,Connect the WiiRemote,Open GlovePie, open the script and hit run} with the start up of the windows?

By AHK you mean AutoHotKey? I am not a total n00b, but this is the first time i hear about this.

Once again thanks for ur replies bkenobi, u r awesome! 1)I haven't looked at ur mame_loader and the multimame program cause i haven't understood anything!!! You gave a code in the mame_loader thread and i cannot find a walkthrough, a "how-to", in order to have it running! I saw that the multimame has some documentation but nothing special. I have to admit that i hadn't enough time to read it, i just bookmarked it for future referrence! 2)What script are you using for GlovePie in order to have wii remote as a lightgun?The script i am using is pretty good but has some flaws that are disturbing in the navigation through the menus!

You ROCK!!! It worked FLAWLESS!!! YOU ARE Mr.AWESOME!!! !!!THANKS A LOT FOR UR HELP!!! Some questions though: 1) Is there a problem if i have 0.129 roms with 0.117 mame version? Propably there is so: 2) Is there any way to have 2 different versions of mame(one 0.129 with all the roms except the lightgun ones, which will have under 0.117) in the same GameEx installation?I thought adding a mame under the other emulations properties (where we put N64,Nes etc) but i couldn't test it cause i didn't want any conflict to arise and ruin my other configuration. 3)I had ordered a nyko wireless sensor bar but instead they send me a venom one (nyko are out of stock and there was a prob with the product code),should i return it or this will make it? Once again thanks a lot for your help! Highly appreciated!!!

Thanks a lot for ur reply! Downloaded the 0.117 and 0.116 versions of mame but atm i am at my uni so when i get home i will update my post...

I just tried what you told me in the above post! It works but there are some probs. I am using a GlovePie script in order to use wiiremote like a mouse.Everything works fine: a)100% accurate b)buttons working like a charm in the windows and gameex's enviroment but there are 2 major probs: 1)When in the game there are two aiming crosses although there is only one player.I am controlling the blue one but the red one is in the middle of the screen,which is really disturbing. 2)The Fire Button Doesn't work and i have to press the ctrl button on the keyboard.Also annoying and no point for the lightgun to be used like that! I haven't tried ReFleX's way cause i don't understand it! I downloaded PPJoy and i have Glovepie but i don't find a way/script to accomplish what you're saying! Could you please guide me with a how - to + some scripts?

I tried yesterday to play mame lightgun games but i didn't made it! I couldn't find how to change the mame settings. How mame settings are changed? PS:if i never make it work, is there any other way to play the lightgun games?

First time i hear about it! We don't have it here in Greece or even if we have it it should be saled on JUMBO stores which i don't visit anymore! But i want to play the mame games, the ones that we were playing when young!

U r right! I thought about it but there was the posibility to forget to close it and have to change the batteries every 2-3 days.Now when i turn on the pc i have a working sensorbar! I 've put it on the top of my HDTV above the other wii sensor bar and it looks pretty good!About your 9v idea: it's pretty good but my HDTV is thin enough and i have the sensor bar on top so no room to hang it out! ;-) I've ordered yesterday the nyko wireless bar which is more poweful than the wii's sesnodrbar + the fact that it looks just like the wii so there aren't great differences! I want to try what you've told me in your first post but i dunno if i will make it cause i just came home after 16 hours on my uni, i am pretty tired and the tv is occupied!!! Has anyone tested it to confirm that it works? I am sure many people will have thought the same thing!

Yup! 1) why going with a wired one?Sensorbars are ment to be build for the wii.I would have to cut the wire and attach another. 2) i added 2 more leds cause the leds it had fucked as hell 3) because i added 2 more leds i needed more power!5volts instead of the batteries volts! 4) i don't have a cab.I have an hdtv. ;-) it's kinda weird! Have you tried with another script?Not that this will change things! It sounds like a hardware failure for me. Try another bluetooth receiver.

Thanks for your reply! Here are some photos: When i find some time i will check it and return for the results!

I remember myself looking at those arcades with guns (area 51 for example) where you were pointing on the screen to shoot at those aliens.I also remember myself playing at a friends house "ducks sth..." where you were shooting at ducks taking off! I have installed GameEx and some Mame roms (it's a work in progress setting everysingle rom/emulator up)! I saw that there are some games under the lightgun category and thought that it would be great to play those games i couldn't when i was young (because they were extremely expensive here in Greece). To the point: I have a wii and of course a wiiremote. I have also this: Wii Wireless SensorBar (sorry for the greek site/just look at the product) I have connected two more ir leds i bought and attached a usb cable so it can be powered via usb (5volts)! Connected wiiremote via bluetooth to the pc! I have also downloaded a program for using wiiremote to pc! It works great as pointer/mouse for my pc! Is there a way to play those games with a fully calibrated wiiremote for pc?

Thanks a lot! That was really a very detailed answer! I was going to buy one of those 1.5TB Seagate in order to have everything organized! You Rock Man!
