haha i didnt know about editing the target in the shortcut i added the -play parameter and it worked fine thanks.. havnt been here for a few years just getting back in to it....love everything gameex

hey tried using the -play parameter but cannot get beyond the launcher can someone give me a more detailed approach on how theve got this game working within gameex

hi is it possible to list pc games under the pc games heading like roms rather then setting them up as individual emulators also a feature request maybe an option to rate games with a five star rating next to the rom name having thousands of roms it would be good sift through all the crap and rate all the goodies cheers bazzman

super! game ex defo no 1 by the way does any one know wot the out come of the best frontend debate over at byoc a while back

thats real cool have you seen the ps3 teken preview would make a cool intro

oh no you dont bin working on starwars theme (s) for the best part of six months now on and of, was top secret till now. ive made several themes based on star wars using all the material ive sourced for instance i had a yoda theme with many of is qoutes for sound effects intro, exit etc, light saber sounds are used for focus and select, chewie theme was coming along with loads of moans and groans my fav theme has got a great video intro, on intro you was welcomed by the sound of the emperor saying (welcome young sky walker ive been expecting you) there was so many things i was toying with just never got round to really finishing any thing got really stuck on a starwarsy looking tool bar though any u guys got any ideas also had an idea wouldnt it be cool if the text (using the starwars font) could merge into the background like in the films intro (just dreaming me thinks) any way ling if you need any material let me know ive prob got it

nice responce!

WORKED A TREAT CHEERS

can any one get mess to lauch without the menu bar ive tried to send {SCROLLLOCK} as scroll lock disables the menu during the game but cant get this to work any help plssss

as long as it fits in the terminals itll work just fine

i use standard telephone cable or 5 core alarm cable its alot cheaper when bought on a small drum and works a treat theres no need for such a heavy gauge cable baz out

nice to see the legendary mr do over here, maybe defecting to game ex we hopes

bingo! you the man tom, time for yet another update i guess?

using no filter is the best option to get it to work but emu 2 defo seems to be the prob

tom did you see my earlier post i posted my config file and everything seems a ok

i tried about 10 slots what on earth could be up with no 2 and why only no2 very strange indeed
