I selected the H264 option along with mp4. I then downloaded ffpmepg when prompted during the conversion process. I extracted ffmpeg to its own folder (c:\ffmpeg) along with the supporting files and folders. I selected the H264 option. Also I browsed to the ffmpeg folder and clicked on ffmpeg.exe then OK. That is about it, my file converted from avi to mp4 with full sound.

Dan - you will need to modify the theme using the Theme Editor. To remove an item (in this case of the text at the bottom of your image Select 1 and Select 2), you can click on it within the display (the outline will turn red) - then look on the lower right. You should see an "eye" button under the Properties section of the theme editor. If you click this it should disable the text from displaying (you will see the text for Select 1/2 disappear). You can follow the same steps to "remove" the Home button from view as well. Once finished, click the Save icon. Let me know if this works for you or if you have any further questions.

In some ways I am glad she didn't get convicted. Not to say I don't think she is guilty because I believe she is. Just that the prosecution did not have the evidence to clearly connect her to the child's death. I would rather this happen than see someone innocent convicted under similar evidence circumstances. There have been too many convicted wrongly for less evidence.

To obtain a copy of your emulator config files (in this case, Stella) go into Setup Wizard, select Custom, then select Emulator Setup. Highlight Stella in the column on the left, then click the export icon in the middle. This will generate a copy of your Stella config file. Your log file is generated by GameEx and can be found under the \GameEx\Log path.

Thanks! Any time you can consolidate and eliminate superfluous code is a good thing!

Thanks for posting yours Draco. I'm sure it'll come in handy. Btw sorry about putting my ini files in a code wrap. I couldn't figure out how to do the spoilers tags. You're welcome - also, placed your custommenu.ini in spoiler. To do so, simply place the word spoiler between [ and ] at the beginning of the text to "be spoiled" and end with /spoiler between [ and ] at the end.

I downloaded the file. Made my first avi to mp4 conversion and this was successful. The only pain was having to search for ffmpeg.exe on the web, but once that was done, it was perfect. BTW, if anyone needs it it can be found on Sourceforge.net.

I know you are requesting Hunk's files but thought I would test mine as well. When I am using Custom Menus - launching in 4.4 seconds: When I am using default menus - launching in 4.4 seconds. Also attaching a copy of my custommenu.ini and gameex.ini files as a point of comparison with Hunk's. CustomMenu-GameEx.zip

Will you be pointing to the 32-bit only? Or will there be an option to select the 32-bit or 64-bit versions?

Now you are following my leader! This feature would be GameEx-specific and track Mame hi scores for games launched via GameEx!

But command line would be stored where....? Would that not be in the Mame setup within GameEx.ini? If setup, I would imagine that it would be limited to games launched through GameEx and not Mame command-line or GUI.

+1 from me as well! Have to agree with Ian about cheaters - you can't stop them. Overall scores will average out. Perhaps it could refresh every month, quarter, or year so a new leaderboard is established. I wonder if it would be possible to read the mame.ini to determine if cheats are enabled and flag those scores to a separate "Wall of Shame" from the legitimate leaderboard?

About them gas prices... What many don't realize is that the majority of the price we spend per gallon is taxes (local, state, federal, etc). Stations make little profit per gallon and gasoline sales are really a "loss leader" anymore to get you into the store and grab a pack of Lucky's and a Slim Jim to go with that Coke and zazzleberry Slurpee!

Yeppers - much faster! Thanks Tom!

Check your theme to see if the text color is showing changed and, if so, change it and resave it. Otherwise, check the settings in Setup Wizard.

I noticed an immediate increase in response time when starting GameEx. Appears that system logos are loading a tad faster as well.

Thanks! Appreciate the info!

Happy 4th!

Enhancements? What kind?

I am going to mark this as [RESOLVED] as I believe the issue was with the folder depth within the them itself as I previously noted. @massop - can you correct this and coordinate with Tom to replace the current copy with the corrected copy?

There were several parts to what I had reported as they all appear to coincide. The first was the issue with the database switching intermittently between the good name and file name. The second was continued issues with the emulator assignments not updating correctly after a sort when custom menus are in use. If I make any sort changes in GameEx, I have to load the Menu Editor and correct the assigned logos, emulator #, etc. Sometimes I have to go back and forth between the two several times as there will be other discrepancies in the executable assigned within a specific emulator or other path changes that were part of the previous emulator assignment for that number. In trying to manually correct the second issue within the gameex.ini itself, a 3rd issue became apparent to me. As I was trying to locate the necessary data elements within the ini to change, I noticed that the order of data elements was not consistent from emulator to emulator listed. Ben had noted to me that this was OK and that it wasn't meant to be read (by human eyes I am assuming), but as part of troubleshooting, human eyes have to read these entries and if there is not a prescribed order that the data is listed, this makes it confusing and more difficult to troubleshoot and easier to miss something to resolve an error.

Please accept my apology for any confusion created as I misspoke about the theme with regards to aspect ratio. Tom is correct in that GameEx in its current form will preserve the 4:3 ratio regardless of the aspect ratio of the video. This would be an excellent feature enhancement request to allow for the selection of aspect ratio on a "per emulator" basis or as part of the display options to allow for dynamic aspect ratio based upon that of the video and will fit the video to the window within the theme (which, if the window is such that it is normally configured for 4:3 videos, a 16:9 or other aspect ratio video would letter box with the bars on top or bottom - depending on the ratio of the video exceeding 4:3 standards, much the same as on an older television. Regards, Mike

Danke!

Tom - Are you thinking that he may be experiencing some issues as a result of custom menus and possibly related to the issue I had initially reported that Ben confirmed?

Sounds like the initial issue you reported is resolved. If some ROMs are not showing, it could be a filter issue or the ROM is not compatible with the version of MAME that you are using. If you load MAME are you able to play Arkanoid? Is it only through GameEx you cannot play it?
