OK, just about final with the tweaks then on to creating the common foreground/background screens, sound files and should be ready for release later this week. Feedback welcome!

I am bumping this thread so that one of the other mods, admins, elites, or any forum member familiar with Stella can take a look at the information DGringo has provided to see if there are any setting options in Stella that might resolve the issue he is having with the screen flashing on return to GameEx from Stella. Thanks! EDIT: I do not have Stella installed at present but did notice that the renderer is set to OpenGL. Is there a DirectDraw option? Could the transition from OpenGL to DirectDraw contribute to the flashing issue?

I cut down and quit about 15 years ago or so. Got down to about 1/4 pack a day then went cold turkey. After 3 weeks I felt pretty good about things and each week after that continued. I picked it back up again a few years later when my first wife and I separated and filed for divorce. It was around the holidays and I was visiting my family and all but my mom smoke. Needless to say, shot nerves and lots of cigarettes around me and I started up again - probably the worst decision I have made.

Happy Birthday, Mesk! For your b-day your ban on 1up.com will be over in 24 hours... maybe less! Have a great day, Dave!

The nice thing about themes is that they can be modified to suit one's needs!

Way to go, Dave! Last time I quit cold turkey I felt like a monster until I got past the first week. By week 3 felt like my energy was way up. Maybe I will start tomorrow and Mike (Adultery) will give it another go.

Not sure that I will. Will probably disable RSS feeds, Weather icon, and pop-up descriptions for the sake of simplicity and conserving space.

I use an nVidia GeForce GT440 1MB and it works great for me. I prefer the brand over ATI, but I know there are some that prefer ATI more.

This is a mock-up of the 1680 x1050 Space Invaders theme I am working on based off of the Bally/Williams bezel. Please provide any praise or criticism you see fit! Thanks!

I need to quit myself. Maybe I will take this time of zero employment to freak out and watch my attention span drop to zero..

Not a bad idea. You may want to stockpile an extra as they will be at a premium before much longer.

Current configs should be fine, however, in light of recent events for you, I would recommend making a backup before each and every update (Might consider noting the folder name with the version it represents pre-update).

Glad you got this worked out, Murb - marking this issue as resolved!

Sounds like you have the details to perform your own initial search regarding LCD monitors. If you see anything that sounds promising, by all means, let us see some links and details. Keep in mind that you will be receiving opinions and they may differ greatly and you will have to use your best judgement based on the responses you get or be prepared to make your own leap of faith! P.S. Since this is not a GameEx issue proper, moving thread to Social Club where almost anything non-GameEx related can be found.

Marking this one as resolved!

Yes -this was the topic of discussion in this thread here. Should help you on your way!

Can you zip together your gameex.ini and custommenu.ini and log.txt (after GameEx hangs) files and upload them to this thread?

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a freebie program that is supposed to be one of the best Shuttle Orbiter sims (did I mention free already?).

Moonraker and Armageddon absolutely. Buck Rogers, meh. The only thing I really liked about Buck Rogers was Colonel Dearing.. WOOT!

Good luck and Godspeed Atlantis crew for STS 135, the final launch of the US Shuttle Program! Streaming coverage at NASA TV .

Mike,this theme looks great! You need to upload it to the GameEx site! I think I have a little inspiration now for a cab-based theme... after I finish my next 1920x1080 HTPC theme submission.

Awesome program, Tom! Now are you ready for your first feature request? Would it be possible to add a selectable log option to log failed files?

How does it look from an HTPC perspective (distance) vs PC? You truly are losing your vision, Krake! Now this is what you would look like trying to look through chicken wire!

I thought the original one I had was Japanese...

Put it right next to my copies of "Mein Kampf" and "If I Did It."
