NE Florida here. Bring shorts and sunscreen as I am sure it is a little balmier there.

Off topic - what part of Florida?

There are a few mashups of this video with references to Zangief.

Awesome job! Here is the same image with alpha channel and a slight bevel effect.

Casey Heynes is the overweight kid being bulllied upon at school by Twiggy at St Mary's School in Sydney Austraila. I am not one to condone violence but twig boy had it coming!

Britt - Glad you were able to get it up and running with the new card. One thing people tend to forget is that the minimum requirements do not equal will run the program slick as snot! It just means that it will run it OK but more than suggested minimum requirements is recommended. You also must factor in all the other minimum requirements for your OS, your front end, and other programs you may run. All of these will be competing for CPU and GPU cycles, RAM, etc. Then start adding any additional hardware drivers, anti-virus/anti-malware, well.. should I continue? Mesk - I looked at the page properties for the Vpinbal link you provided for the system requirements and you are correct.. for Friday, October 22, 2004 2:55:00 PM (date that page was last modified)

I have put in a feature request a while back that would allow for a "play list" type setup so that users could create multiple favorites lists or favorites games across emulators, genres, etc. - similar to what you would setup in WMP or Winamp.

I took a close look and do not see where this is possible, however, you can setup the folders to where they show under the Media Library. There may be a way to get around this but at the moment it is escaping me. Maybe one of our other gurus has encountered this issue or question before and can throw some ideas at it.

You can also disable Menu Animations there as well.

I am at work presently but think I have a a few ideas that may work out for you and will note them when I get home.

A few more logo files, some of which are not in the theme uploaded but will be included in a logo pack later.

Auto correct is a pain sometime. So what was misspelled? I sincerely hope you weren't adding Demul to your face as that sounds like it might be painful if it were at all possible. This may not have been addressed yet so be patient.. If Tom says he will address an issue he will. Sometimes something will come up that demands a higher priority fix and bumps other projects/fixes back a bit.

fReq - you PAID for Karaoke? Wel,, I guess we all pay for it in one way or another, eh? I just started a little tinkering with it and can see using it when my adult kids come to visit and party a little with us old folks so not looking for anything major. I might just take a look at Bulk Rename Utility to see if it can be adapted for use. Thanks for the suggestion!

Rene - Welcome to the Forum! I will attempt to answer some of the issues you may be encountering. Items showing in red will be for Tom or the more experienced GameEx Admins and Gurus to address if possible. Blue are my answers but I am sure if someone knows a better answer, I can count on them to counter my response or add to them! For these items I will ask that you provide copies of your gameex.ini file (you will need to save as a text (.txt) file to upload to attach in the post as the IPBoard does not allow for .ini files due to security) and your log.txt file. That way we can see what settings you are using. Also may be good to know a bit more about your PC that you are using (Windows version, 32 or 64-bit, amount of RAM, video card make/model and GPU RAM). We may be able to determine some tweaks that will speed things up a little Not sure about this one - perhaps Tom or one of the Admins or other GameEx Gurus will have an answer but seems to me that this may be an enhancement request. This is working as designed - likely an enhancement request. This is working as designed - likely an enhancement request. This sounds clearly like a settings issue. Go into the Advanced Configuration under Attract/Screensaver. Places to look at for this would be "Only Favorites" Select Yes or No and "Other Emulators" Select Yes or No.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a freeware Karaoke CDG/MP3 renaming utility? Depending on the source of the karaoke files, the naming conventions are all over the place and I would like to be able to order better based on genre (Rock, Country, etc.) Artist, and Song Name. I could do so individually but with hundreds of files it is daunting and not quite the chore I want to kill a few days off doing.

In what way do you mean? Can you give some more detailed examples? The idea behind custom menus is that you can name it and point them to whatever folder or program you desire.

Krakerman has been about for a while so if he says it is good it probably is. While I am not emulating the console (yet) I did a quick "google" for ZX Emulators and was surprised at the number that show up with many very actively supported.

Agreed. Kind of falls into my logic paths of "do I need to install EVERY emulator and have every ROM that is out there?" followed by "if I look about enough, I can probably find that very same game emulated on a different platform" or "I have survived how long without it and if will I continue if I don't?" Have you tried ZX Spectrum 4 .net?

I don't believe it to be a bug to be honest. I notice that if I am in windowed mode and doing things in other windows, where my mouse is relative to my GameEx window sometimes determines where the cursor focus lands should focus be drawn to that window. I also run custom menus and do not see this behavior when in fullscreen and only seldom in windowed.

Well the HTPC could also do doubletime as a media server so she could access stuff from her netbook!

Just a few of the Logos that accompany my latest theme... yes, throwing out the trail of cookie crumbs!

Well, I am a bit envious to say the least and really hate you right now! j/k Good job and keep us posted on the progress! Seriously, I am still debating on a cab, htpc setup, or a decent pedestal/quad CP that I can wheel away from the living room when not in use. Regardless, I will likely install wireless NIC or go the ethernet over powerline route (which, for the Xbox 360 is working quite well and much better throughput than the original wireless adapter).

Unfortunately I can only max at 1680 x 1050 at 60hz. I wonder, though if the 48hz is too low for 1080P to handle? In looking through all of the resolutions my video card can handle, it appears that the lowest I could possibly fo is 800x600 at 56 hz and the hz increases with the resolution. Have you tried 1080P at 60 or 75 hz?

I tried to replicate the error and am not able to based on the settings I am seeing. I am assuming your GPU is an nVidia - can you try installing the latest drivers for it (if you have the latest, try reinstalling them). and see if that helps clear up the errors?

and place them in a separate folder from the MAME snaps
