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!

You can move and modify the size of the pop-up box within Theme Editor.

First I would make sure you have the latest Logitech Drivers installed and confirm that it is showing in the control panel. Next, you may need to setup a custom profile to load when you load GameEx and/or MAME again. Would be helpful if you can tell us what OS you are using on your PC, if the racing wheel works with any programs (MAME, etc.) outside of GameEx, etc. A copy of your Logitech profile that you setup may also be of help. You may also want to look at this forum thread as it may be a related issue to what you are experiencing.

Silver X - Thanks first for sharing! Great theme - a simple, list-oriented design that pulls in the desired functions without overloading the display elements. My son loves anything bio-hazard - Resident Evil - zombie oriented and your background nails that for him for certain!

Have you checked within MAME > Default Game Propeties > Miscellaneous to enable Bezels, Backdrops, and Overlays? This would be set within MAME itself, not GameEx.

Skye25 - can you zip your gameex.ini and theme.ini files and upload them to this thread? A screen image of what you are speaking in addition may also help. Also, try deleting all files with cache in the file name under the data directory and let us know if that remedies the issue. Thanks!

Having formerly worked for a company that prides itself on security, encrypting data is not that difficult! Like, Sony, WTF dudes! If you can crapify video and music files with DRM and sue "pr8s", why can't you encrypt the personally identifiable info of your customers? I guess we know what is really most important to ya!

Or UnAdulterated...

Awesome! I appreciate seeing more join - always good to see more mates on board with GameEx! The more users the more it evolves as they contribute their enthusiasm and ideas and we all benefit as a result!

Yes - don't forget the fabulous prizes!

Glad you are able to get it to work to meet your needs! Are we OK to mark this resolved for you? I will submit the feature request for an expansion on the login feature.

Date Submitted: 06/03/2011 Download URL: http://www.gameex.co...he%20Dragon.zip Download Size: 132 MB Additional Notes: Give it a try, let me know what ya think. Simplicity of display was the goal without appearing too busy with too many visual elements in the design itself, while keeping with most GameEx features enabled.

She said yes, so seems ya already have the luck! Keeping the horseshoe with the ends facing up is the challenge before you now! Congrats!

Ian - Well, I have done some preliminary testing and this is what I have found. Login doesn't play well with custom menus. If I have custom menus enabled (which I do), some of the disabled features still show as items in the list. I am not sure if this is a caching issue (doubtful) or just because of the fact that custom menus touches everything globally regardless (which I believe is most likely the case). It may play better with a vanilla setup (i.e., GameEx default menus). Login does retain the theme selected for the logon ID. This worked flawlessly and kept the entirety of the theme selected for the test logon ID, including logos, layout, etc. What I would like to see is something a little more mature in this feature that will allow full administrative control over what is displayed/enabled than what is available currently so that when setting up a more restricted profile, all one would need to do is select Enable or Disable for the functionality based upon the Administrator's Configuration as the template (regardless of vanilla or custom menus and the option to disable custom menus for a logon profile other than the Administrator's. For example: Feature Default John Susie Enable Search Yes Yes No Show Statistics Yes No No Enable Auto GameEx Update Yes No No Use Custom Menus Yes No Yes Could utilize the drop-downs for multiple options under each feature as present in the Setup Wizard or Advanced Configuration in addition to emus listed separately for enable/disable to further secure access for each. Also would need to ensure each user has their own GameEx.ini, custom.ini and other configuration files that will be accessed as opposed to the system defaults. It appears that the configurations are setup to do just that in most cases. If this sounds good to you to include with your feature request, please feel free to submit under the feature requests thread in the Pinned and Hot Topics forum. Mike

LOL! You are too much! My little pwny!

Interesting. So you like to taunt yourself daily with your virtually pwnage? BTW - WTH is "pwnage?" I know it is a typo reference. Just never understood why it became a meme. I don't like memes. Too close to mimes. I don't like mimes. Now, if they were zombie mimes, I still wouldn't like them, but I would at least be able to shoot them, Zombie Apocalypse and all. DOUBLE TAP!

Very clean, crisp and very well polished! I look forward to seeing it in action! Be sure to post in the User Submitted Themes & Media in the Pinned and Hot Topics forum after you upload your zipped theme to the gameex.com site! As always we appreciate the shares from our members!
