I will look into it a little deeper but may take some time. Not sure if what you want to do is possible through use of Custom Menus in conjunction with Advanced Config disabling unused features but can test and get back to ya.

Like many other programs, there is no specific naming convention for the files (i.e., Artist Name - Song Title, etc.).

Ian - Let us know if you need any assistance. It is great if you want to setup separate themes for each person, restrict to certain accesses, etc. So if you wanted to have Adult games enabled under your login but not the kids, you could do so by disabling such while under their logon. Now I am not sure how you would go about disabling access to advanced configuration as once you do so under that logon, you probably can't access it without modifying the gameex.ini file under that user's name. Mayhaps this is an enhancement request!

Probably because of the handle - it is similar to the male pirate character in the Soul Edge/Caliber series.

Off Topic again - Honestly, would love to see more "girlie gamers" in the forums here and the emu community in general. While the GameEx forums tend to keep the testosterone in check, others are not so well maintained. It seems that some of the other forum sites are plagued by the same mentality that sours the fun that could be had in the online gaming communities.

Ian - Celly has provided a good document for setting up Daphne here. I would review the pdf in his post and setup accordingly.

Ha! Good thing for me I am a leg man! Your chest is just a place to hang another target as far as I am concerned. I have encountered a few girl gamers that are alright. Some are real mouthy and annoying (like 90% of the males that feel that they have to prove something to the rest). I play for the fun and relaxation after a rough day at work so usually turn the volume down on the headset and hear very little of it.

Is anyone aware of a free Karaoke file manager similar to KJ File Manager that has the same functionality but doesn't cost so much? $79 USD is quite a chunk of change for those of us that may only use the functionality on an occasional basis.

Both actually. The kit can be assembled to use either just the pedestal or bolt on the top for the marquee and bezel for the full effect.The pedestal piece is very similar to a design I came up with a few years ago surprisingly.

@Hunk_4th - Looks great! x2 on the LCD. A 20-22" should be fine for most things and will not add appreciably to any heat issues, unlike the CRT. @Adultery - I am seriously considering the Xtension Arcade as it has received some good reviews and seems to be the right price point (cheap) in addition to providing some flexibility. May also look at a multi SATA HDD block for multiple drives. May have to hold onto my old PC speaker set and PSU.

I still find myself fascinated by the Dingoo and similar portable emu devices. My cell phone is a simple affair with a QWERTY slider for some occasional normal texting (no adaptive text here, please!). Now if I could get a cell phone that allows me to port over some of my MAME collection.... hmmm.... [Major Geek Mode: <ON>]

That could be. Maybe Tom or Ben could shed some light on the sampling requirements to help us take out some of the guess work.

One would think that, but have found that if I convert from MP3 to WAV I have far fewer issues with file compatibility than if I grab a WAV directly from a site. It may meet muster playing in WMP or WinAmp, but will fail within GEX. Not sure if it is anything to do with the bass library in Direct Sound.

u4 introduced toolchain and support changes in MAME. Since MESS follows suit as it is derived from the MAME source, I would expect that is the case.

Not all that uncommon actually. I have found it best to download sounds in MP3 format and then use the Spesoft Free Audio Converter (or converter of your choice) to convert to WAV format. I have encountered the same error in assembling themes before and it is usually a compatibility issue with a WAV file I have downloaded.

Always good to see one's work in action and appreciated! I have a few more theme ideas that I have been tossing about but will back burner them for a bit.

Thanks!!!

HA! I was right! Well, so far as enabling it within a version 4 theme. Mesk - if you enabled it in your theme and you are using a version 3 theme (which I think is the case), try disabling it in the theme editor options and saving the theme again.

Maybe I am a bit old-fashioned. Seems like everything coming out is a Swiss Army Knife of capabilities. My concern is that, in some cases, you lose one capability and it shags the rest (Some all-in-one printer/fax/copier/scanners come to mind). Not that there isn't a place for such. I guess some of the same concerns I have with running a gazillion emus and having some play nice, most mediocre and some not worth the hassle in the end because the tech hasn't caught up to the desire just yet. But what do I know, eh?

Saw this page and thought of your situation - a few in your collection would probably work well! Will probably consider something similar for an NAS setup (Network Attached Storage) provided the throughput is sufficient. Not sure if any situation will show the lists or snaps without actually accessing the files in any case.

Thanks! Hope a few give it a try!

Well, whataya know - on the last page of Display Settings in the Advanced Config. Was finishing up on my theme and noted it in the Theme Editor (did not need to access Advanced Config yet).

You will need to load your theme into Theme Editor and enable it under Options, then save the theme, if you have not done so already.

Enter the Dragon Theme now available for download! I have included the contents of both Logo packs 2 & 3 along with some recent additions and corrections not included in those packs. Please take a look and let me have your feedback regarding! Thanks! Mike

You can enable "Play in Screensaver" for each emulator (3rd page in each emulator setup within the Advanced Configuration app). When a game from that emulator is added to Favorites and this option is enabled, it will display in attract mode. There is no way in GameEx to tag individual games to display or not display in attract mode when selected as a Favorite. Perhaps this would be a good Feature Request to submit under the Pinned and Hot Topics forum in the Feature Requests thread! You will get a second from me on it!
