got it. thanks. i'll post back if/when i find what I am looking for.

OK. I am getting the hang of this. Thanks. I'm downloading a big pack of bezels for 16x9 screen. I first downloaded one game as a test. I used gunsmoke. It works perfectly. My issue is that the bezels cut off the top and bottom of the screen. What I'd like, ideally, is bezels that are the same size as the stock Gameex one. so I still get full real estate from top to bottom, and only bezel images on the side. Is there such a thing as a mega pack with bezel images like that?

Thanks. I've done a search and a bit of reading on this topic, but missed the Bezels for dummies post. \That helps a lot. I have bezel turned off in Gameex. Now i just need to get the proper 16x9 bezels and put them in MAME. Question: each one needs to be in an appropriately named zip file? is there a lay and png file in the zip? Sounds like emumovies is the place to go for this (FTP). I'll take a look.

I've got Gameex installed and working. I've tried many other FE, but prefer Gameex. I have a cabiniet with MAME only. using 0193b because it is the one I was able to get working. I had some difficulty getting a matched version of MAME and a good romset. But this works for what I need. But, I'd have a wide monitor in my cabinet and would now like to set up bezels. Currently it just displays the default MAME bezel. Is there a way to automatically download bezels for my rom pack? And once I get the bezels (png's?) how to I get Gameex to use them? I generally just launch Gameex Simple Mode since it does everything I need. Thanks!

Ahhhhh. Keyboard controls. I’ll try that and report back. thanks a bunch.

I’m using Gameex Arcade edition. I’m still on the free edition until I get a few quirks worked out. id like to change the menu navigation buttons. By default, I have to press Player 1 Start button to select a me you item or game. Pressing Player 1s first button acts as a “back” button in Gameex menus. I used the setup to enable custom controls, and as a test tried to change buttons. When I click on a button to change it, I get the window to “press a button” but when I do, it does not change the setting. It does nothing. I changed button settings in the custom controls.ini, but it has no effect when I go back into Gameex. if I go back to the wizard, it shows the changes I made in the ini file, but it does not change the behavior in Gameex menus. this isn’t a paid only feature, is it? BTW, This is a IPAC2 on a Win 10 box.

Sorry about that. I was just trying to reference that one feature. Gameex is so much better than the others.

Well, I’ve figured out a work around by following Toms suggestion. I added the rom file I wanted (gauntlet2pr3) to the DONT filter line in the wizard. After a rescan, now 2 versions of Gauntlet show up in my list. The original (4player) and the 2 player. id prefer to not even have the 4 player show up, but I’ve just added the 2p version to my favorites and it works. im sure Gameex has a way to simply change the rom file a game points to, a la LaunchBox’s right click Edit menu, but I haven’t found it yet that being said, I really like Gameex and will be purchasing a license.

Thanks. I added “gauntlet” to the do not filter list in Gameex setup wizard, then ran Update list. When complete I selected Gauntlet from the wheel in Gameex, but it still launches the 4 player version, not the 2 player. Somewhere, Gameex stores what zip file is used for each game, that’s what I need to change.

I’ve searched high and low and can’t figure out how to change the zip file a game is pointed to. How do I edit a specific game in Gameex Arcade? ive built my first cabinet and I am testing various frontends. In LaunchBox, you just right click a game and you can edit it. That’s where I change the zip file a game is using. I cannot figure out how to do this in Gameex Arcade. the game in question is Gauntlet. I want to use the ROM for 2 players so we can choose our character when a coin is inserted. gotta say, I am loving Gameex so far!
