Draco1962

Thanks, Tom! We appreciate your efforts!

I have noticed that gameex.net appears to be offline as well as spesoft.com. Likely this may be the cause.

You can do so through the Advanced Configuration within the Enable/Disable Features. Select No for Enable GameEx Auto Updates. Tom has been notified under another thread so hopefully this will be fixed soon. As always, you should keep backups of any custom settings. I would recommend copying them to a folder called Backup within your MAPS folder or - even better, backup your entire GameEx folder and all sub folders to a separate drive along with the Backup folder previously suggested..

...So I couldn't afford a birthday card, but Happy Birthday none-the-less!

I am getting the same thing as well.. here is a snippet of my log file that shows what I was suspecting is causing the repeated loop. GameEx is still showing the version as 11.62 even after I downloaded the program and performed an install instead of update: 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: GameEx: Version 11.62: Starting Log 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Operating System Name: Windows Vista 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Operating System Version: 6.1.7601 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Aero running 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: .net Framework 3.0 Installed 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: .net Framework 3.5 Installed 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 8126MB 22:33:33.9 3/19/2011: 2.39Ghz - 4 Cores or CPU's I confirmed that the version in the gameex.ini was also showing 11.62: [internal] csv=C:\GameEx\config\config.csv ini=C:\GameEx\config\gameex.ini MAMEEXE= windowed=True version=11.62 timesruncount=3 startpagethumbscount=26 I went so far as to try tricking the program by changing the value in the gameex.ini to 11.63, but it still registers as 11.62 in the log file. For now, just going to disable auto-update feature until the cause can be determined.

I imagine you could snag some Android and possibly iPhone stuff and run it through an SDK - most have testing emulators.

8BitMonk - I have not had many problems running Win 7 64-bit with most emulators so don't count it out if you have a true x64 machine. I was running MAMEUI32 and much prefer the response I get from MAMEUI64 on some of the newer games.

It seems that there have been many reports of mixed results from my searches. It still sounds like it is not playing nice with the ointegrated graphics adapter. Also, with the Dell 530/531 PCs the installation of the PCI video card is supposed to disable the integrated video but it doesn't always do so. I would have another look at the device manager and see if you can locate it adn disable it. That being said, you may still have problems and may not be able to overcome any compatibility issues.

Anything else you can tell us about your system? Thus far we have Win 7 32-bit and the Arcade VGA3000 card. What kind of monitor, RAM, etc.? Does your motherboard have a "built-in" or "onboard" video adapter? If so, has it been disabled in BIOS and the video drivers for it uninstalled?

Here ya go!

I am not familiar with the video card and I am assuming you are using an Arcade monitor. Have you tried installing in XP compatibility mode instead of Vista? have heard of some having better luck that way.

Adultery - try these on for size!

That is, in your words, AWESOMESAUCE!!! Do you mind if I use it and the GameEx logo knock-up for a few bezels?

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.
