Glad that helped! Marked as [RESOLVED]

There is a plugin that may be of help to you here.

I would say possible, but problematic. I would recommend performing the initial setup with an internet connection. With the reasonable pricing of wireless NICs and Ethernet Over Power Line solutions available, one could connect only for the purpose of updating the PC with minimal fuss.

Thanks as always, Tom!

Stuart - you noted in your original post the following: A few questions in addition to Adultery's: 1 - Did you resolve the quoted memory error? If not definitely get it fixed. 2 - What version of the nVidia driver did you install? (Latest stable release for your OS/GPU is 93.71) 3 - Are you running an "nlite" or other stripped-down version of XP on your system? 4 - What is your resolution set to & have you tried changing it? One significant change with GameEx that you may wish to accustom yourself is that the old Configuration app (blue & white screens) support has been replaced by using the Setup WIzard, so please familiarize yourself as we may refer you to elements within it.

Check this article out on BYOAC Wiki.

I wonder if you could get away with marking and masking your dimensions on the Plexi and then spray paint the side facing the monitor to bezel it? Either that, or create some neat artwork along with your instruction card and have a bezel custom printed to fit behind the plexi.

Very nice! Now, just replace the ceiling fan with maybe a mirror ball, throw in some black lighting and carpet with UV glow patterns and you are ready!

Good to know about the .ogg format.

Are you testing while loading a game from within GameEx? If so you may want to get it working well within MAME first.

Moved topic to gamesdbase forum as this is not an issue for GameEx product proper.

Seb - you may want to refer to the posts here and here. In the first post, there is a link you can click to download for install the xarcade.cfg file that goes within your MAME ctrlr folder. You will need to set that up in mame as to the path you have that folder on your hard drive and in the global controller options. In the second post which is somewhat related to your question/issue, you were asked a few questions by Adultery and fRequeEnCy - did you address them?

Should be .mp3 format. Also, a change was made a while back to point to a folder path as opposed to a specific ambience file . This was an enhancement request so that GameEx would load at random from multiple files instead of just one file. You should be able to change the folder to one of your choice.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I wasn't offended. Sometimes when there is a lot of activity a thread or two will get lost.

We pay less to the feds as we do not claim any exemptions. Why should I give my government an interest-free loan?

Sometimes a lack of response may mean the thread became buried under subsquent threads due to other issues. I know I cannot answer as I do not have experience with ipac nor am I all that experienced with many emulators to speak intelligently about the subject.

I prefer wood blinds but faux wood blinds are much cheaper and are more cat-resistant.

LOL! Well, when you are ready to crash it, let us know! There are quite a few good GameEx skinners in the forums!

I separated this from the previous [RESOLVED] issue since it is not quite the same issue and so it will not get lost.

My wife refers to that as "Second Christmas." Unfortunately, some car repairs ate that up. Will have to give that tablet a looksie!

Glad you were able to resolve the error you encountered! Keep in mind that the new views created by Tom for GameEx came after the majority of the available themes were published. That being said, some have gone back through and created the additional background files required for the "ribbon" views however the majority are have not and likely will not unless the author or another user create and post to the forums accordingly. As time permits, I hope to add some updates to a few of my more recent and popular themes.

My guess is that you will need to construct a batch file to run multiple programs before (simplest) or via AHK (Auto Hot Key).

Somewhat related - from the Arcade Ambience Project page is an application to run Arcade Ambience .mp3 files on a separate sound card. Would be cool if someone could dev a plugin for GameEx that would play these or, if possible, act as a "front end" for any of the emus that support selective sound card support.

Please click on the "Howq to ask for help" link in my sig which will also show you where to find the gameex.ini and log.txt files we often need to help troubleshoot a problem. You may also wish to delete all files showing under the \gameex\data path with the word cache in the file name or extension and restart GameEx to see if this resolves the problem.

I have to say that I am OK with the Intellivision, but really prefer the original Atari 2600 pic as it is a little less busy.
