That feature is automatically supported by Version 1 and 3 themes. Using the Theme Editor, you may need to "create" a new theme using your current theme as a the basis for this new theme, and select Version 4 then click OK. The caveat to using Version 4 themes, however, is that you lose the nav bar functionality at the top of many of the themes.

What size monitors are you running for the main and the deck?

Being a military brat, I am glad to see you got your Port and Starboard fan lights in the correct placement! Looking good!

Again, there are different executable files for different applications that come as part of the whole of GameEx. Not sure where the confusion would be in that. Same applies if you purchase MS Office. There is not one executable you access to load Excel or Word, etc. When you use GameEx, you are using a suite of programs. Sometimes you will invoke them from within GameEx, other times individually outside of it. There are some, such as the Advanced Configuration utility and the Setup Wizard that replicate the same functions, just in a different way.

Work is continuing to improve the setup wizard and advanced configuration to streamline some of the core default locations of various emulators and the file paths . As with any program, it continues to evolve and is dependent upon its users to submit Feature Requests to drive features & fixes as is possible. I can tell you that, since it is a front end, you will never get away from separate .exes for each emulator. Those programs are not the author's and, as emulators come and go, this is something I would not expect to change. The forum is the best place to locate documentation that is not covered by the FAQs. If have any suggestions and examples, please post them in the Feature Requests thread.

I believe that HS does support both 32 and 64-bit flavors of MAME so your response is not entirely accurate. There are some video tutorials sins0729 can access via the HS site if he/she explores from the link provided that show how to install and integrate MAME in HS.

First of all, I would suggest try the troubleshooting steps as outlined so that you can hopefully take full benefit of the latest version of GameEx and, if it turns out that there is a bug in the current version, it can be anylized and fixed. Second, you may want to go to the Nvidia forums for your video adapter to see if there are any reported issues with the cards in this series regarding DX/D3D. There may be a setting in the GPU software or D3D that needs to be adjusted and may resolve your issue.

Likely he is running Boot Camp which allows for dual booting of Mac OSX and Windows on the same machine.

@Adultery -Not sure but have there been any changes with the way the themes cache is handled? Odd that a theme that had not been changed and was working fine would start going wonky following an interim update and only within one emulator. @Mesk - Have you tried running MAME as an emulator and, if so, did you get the same response? If not, can you try doing so to see if, as an emulator, the issue still occurs. My thought is that it should not if run as an emulator.

Sorry to hear that but like I noted, if he had any interest in maintaining this derivative beyond 0.125 he would have done so. It is safe to say that he has moved on and does not appear that other than looking at what he has suggested that there is much more you or anyone can do.

Tom - could a malformed .avi file possibly cause issues when attempting to load? If this file is removed or replaced, would be interesting to see if the issue resolves. I know that he had been recently converting files from FLV to AVI (not sure if this was one the files he had recently converted, however) but I think it worth a shot.

Using the Advanced Configuration utility, go to Display settings, click Next Page, and 3rd entry from the top. Select No a for Display 16 Bit colour, then click Save. The other place to check is in you Display settings for Windows to make sure that 32-bit color is selected.

under \gamex\data - all files with cache in the file name.

Hmmm.. if you optimize a brain that is abnormal, do the abnormalities not become enhanced? On a more serious note, have you cleared out your cache, etc? Another suggestion might be to download the latest version and install it to overwrite the dbs for the systems.

Can you post a full copy of your log file? Thanks!

You needed to read further to get to the correct link - try here.

+1 for that idea, Krake!

Perfect! Thanks for the detailed setup info. Perhaps we can get this "Pinned" in the other forum for future reference. As many of the newer PCs are better capable of running virutualization, it may be a good reference for some.

This sounds like an Xpadder question to me. Adultery and a few of the others are the real pros with using it so I will defer to them.

Not bad through-put if you drop it by a third! Glad x64 Win 7 is working out as expected!

I don't know that he wants the "Wheel of Fortune" functionality in this FE. Of course, if he does decide to make it happen, can he promise us Pippa Middleton to "turn our letters" for us? If not, then I say stay the course and not imitate!

SInce I have a lifetime license to GEX, could I get one to EmuMovies instead? A year? Provided I win, of course.. lol.

Could be. Have you tried a system restore to see if this might resolve the issue?

First, I think the request was sincere, if not a bit misguided. Let's not turn this into a potential flame war because we love this FE above the rest. Each of us has been given a pass or two for our own posting gaffs here at one time or another. My take is that he wants to be able to run both but not one through the other. As for porting over themes from one FE to another - Yes, it can be done, but by the time you adapt the theme to the function it isn't going to be quite the same. Besides, why would I want a cartoony joystick on my screen when I will have one on my deck? The spinner selection is nice, but not replicable in GameEx. If it were, then this would be a Hyperspin forum, eh?

Nah, I think I will settle for a little anarchy and chaos! Keeps thinks interesting!
