Gave it a go and all works well accessing the Setup Wizard within GameEx! Now to crank out a new logo file! Thanks again!

Will give it a try and report back in the 11.76 thread! Thanks!

That is awesome, Tom! Thanks!

Thanks all! It will be a great day! Get to have a wellness check with my doc this morning (good thing it is a medical doc - otherwise I'd be custom fitted for a "hug me" jacket!

[RESOLVED]!!!

Likely the original author was using custom emulator backgrounds which generates the extra ini files and the EMULATOR BACKGROUND OPTIONS section at the end of the theme.ini file. Each entry points to the corresponding .ini file and has the individual emulator layout settings. This is really a cool idea and I have yet to take advantage of it when creating my themes as it can cause some heartache for the new user looking for a theme that they can use out of the box without as much tweaking. Once I get things settled with reinstalling and fine-tuning the emus, I may explore this further for my own use as well as being able to assist more intelligently when someone has an issue.

To quote an old highschool friend.. I roll my own!

Sounds good to me - anything to make the experience easier!

You may wish to look at the theme.ini file first as it throws in the X-Y coordinates for each custom emulator display location (i.e. Image, image2, List, etc.). It may be just a matter of deleting those sections in the theme.ini file, saving, then booting (make a backup before editing!).

Have you looked closely at the theme through Theme Editor? Are Custom Emulator Layouts enabled? If so, disable, save, then see fi they align the same as the rest.

Oh my.. he's at it again! Last thing I need is my wife thinking I am surfing pron... To curb my excitement I will use a technique that worked wonders when getting a physical by a female doc years ago. Visualizing Bea Arthur in a thong.... Whew! That was close!

To be honest I can't think of any reason to use it - the changes you have made to the Setup Wizard are very complete from what I have seen. I know that sometimes it is easier to point someone to the Advanced Config because you can count to a specific page in the depth of the option being tweaked. That is probably more habit that anything. It may be preferable from a support standpoint to only have one app available that all use. I know that I will use Advanced Config when making changes while GameEx is loaded. If there was a way to integrate Setup Wizard access through GameEx to make changes on the fly without having to take it down, that would be an awesome enhancement.

Thanks! Glad to contribute to the community and share my "mad skilz." There is quite a bit of talent in our user community (capable of more amazing things than I am) and I hope the competition the admins are backing draws more contributions from them!

Before long I won't have need of the Advanced Config... thanks!

New Brother Wolf Theme submitted. This was a simple theme I put together for my wife, Alicia. The least I could do since I spend so much time here and working on other GameEx projects! I love ya, sweetheart!

I feel that this is resolved for now as GameEx defers to Gamebase to "give the orders" as it were since it is using its own DB and not one that is GameEx derived.

Have you tried another means of connecting to the TV other than S-Video? Not knowing much about your video card or TV connections is why I am asking. S-Video, as well as component connections are analog connections while VGA, HDMI, DVI are digital. I am assuming also that you have a separate PC in your cab, so would be interesting to see, if possible, if you had the same issue connecting to your desktop's LCD monitor.

Keep in mind I am about to show my ignorance as I do not currently have Gamebase up and running through GameEx or otherwise. When running Gamebase outside of GameEx, does it show a list of available games and, if so, only those games one has in possession? Does Gamebase differentiate between playable and non-playable games on its own? Unfortunately, the GameEx functionality defaults to Gamebase to display and access the programs within. If the answer to either of the questions above is No, then I don't see that this would be possible.

Yeppers - however, are we sure it is a he? Just sayin'...

Hope yours was a good one, friend! If I recall correctly, you are a Frets on Fire fan so to that end, here's a little present for ya (provided you are using logos from my latest pack, of course)!

36019 never disappoints... I wonder how many are going into their extender settings now to see what their user number is?

Not sure about that, Sureshot. Since we don't hack or dump ROMs here, you might try to "google" about for the dumping sites that cater to that activity.

I bet if you put all the sequences into a Powerpoint presentation with some of the old "talky" piano accompaniment and click the mouse real fast to advance to the next frame you'd have some great action! Wish we had thought of that earlier so we could put it all together for Adultery's stag party... oh well!

Glad you were able to resolve the issue!

Thanks!
