I think that there is some confusion about the 3D box art that was started when someone mentioned seeing something on Hyperspin. They have a thread where someone is taking png files and "animating" them in a 3D viewable swf (Flash) format. This should not be confused with the 3D cab .x files that are derived from converted Google Sketchup files. The cabinet files that are commonly found throughout the interwebs are just 2D images.

There are no games built into GameEx. What you are referring to is a video and not an actual game. You may want to load up Setup Wizard and check your ROM paths within the MAME settings. It is sounding like you do not have your paths set to the actual ROM folder.

Again, looking very nice indeed! I like the lettering in the header (Wish I knew how to do that!)!

If they are original cabs, they can draw that much or more for collectors so really not all that surprising.

I wonder what a cab would cost to ship to Florida? Probably cheaper to find one locally would be my guess.

Gotcha - yeah they stay with whatever the Start menu has loaded. Would like to see sub menus from Start with their own backgrounds/foregrounds if enabled as well.

Are you enabling the Custom Backgrounds within each emu via the Setup Wizard?

hmmm... I have no freakin' clue.

Major sweetness. I like the darker bricks in the background.

You didn't indicate whether you are compiling 0.143 with or without U builds. If with U builds, you need to do all .diff files for u build 1 to the latest.

You could create an image file and each emulator has options to enable for custom artwork paths. So long as the image is named the same as the ROM and is in that custom artwork path, you will be able to see it.

+1 for OpenOffice! A Great, FREE alternative to the MS products.

/me jealous!

To be honest I do not think it supports it directly. You would likely need to use Xpadder or a similar program in order to configure mouse inputs to work with it based on the various forums I "Googled."

Great, a racing game with a built-in rumble pack that won't get the stains out unless I complete the circuit in 01:30:59 or better.

Thanks! Pink Floyd has always been my favorite classic rock bands and The Wall is my favorite album.

Alpha - The files with the .x extension are the 3-D Cab images that have been converted from Google Sketch-up (see the collection I found by Gozer) and a few other sources. Duke - Upon reading the posts it appears that he is looking to make these animated via a .swf format (Adobe ShockWave). Basically animated Flash files.

Since I am not Tom, I cannot say within the context of GameEx. I know that there have been many that like this idea since it was initially requested. IF it is doable, then I think it would make for a nice addition to the program functionality.

Thanks! Welcome to... me!

While working a new theme utilizing the foreground top-most settings, I have noticed that, no matter how far right on the X coordinate I place the start of the menu bar, it defaults to the same location. I know that the text options displayed is dynamic relative to where in GameEx you are (Start, vs MAME or Emu), but regardless, we should be able to place the bar where we need it and regardless of the length of the bar, the text options should scroll forwards and backwards within the length of the bar selected for one's theme. EDIT - Attempted to send screen capture but keep getting "Error No file was selected for upload" errors when using classic uploader and "upload failed" errors when using Flash uploader. This is occurring in both IE and Firefox

The MAWS and GameEx Live list options under MAME already does this at least for MAME. Would be a nice feature to be enabled/disabled for each emulator// The caveat being if you do not have the ROM, the game will not appear in your "list" for such a feature. Now there's an idea - why doesn't someone put in a Feature Request under the pinned topic!

I am marking this one as gloriously [RESOLVED]! 12.15 page justification on the two page view looks really nice!

Tom is pretty good about implementing requests that are within reason and are doable. We have to keep in mind that, like us, he is a hobbyist and this frontend software was a result of this hobby for him. Some features are fairly easy to implement for him, while others are more complicated and take time. Only he can tell us how such a feature would fall within the scheme of things that are GameEx. If you puruse the NEWS articles you will see that development of the software is frequent and not just with bug fixes.

Confirmed the date alignment issue appears fixed as does the Alert bar issue! eComics look like a regular comic opened up when viewed 2 pages side by side! Great work and nothing Trivial that I can see. Sometimes it is the little things that can make something spectacular not so much or make something so-so really shine!

This has been submitted previously as a Feature Request to allow for creating a per Emu Favorites or custom Play Lists.
