Keep in mind that a .lnk file is a Windows shortcut file and not the actual exe file. Using the .link or shortcut allows Windows to take over and handle the paths from there. I have had some success using a program called Game Launcher to which i have created icon images that correspond to the games. You can create and place the program shortcuts in a centralized folder for easy management. That, coupled with the Game Launcher utility has saved me a lot of time and hassle.

Won't work, they'll just have their backup "singer" breath into the tube... sigh.

How about removal of all people that think alcohol and karaoke make you sing better?

I am not familiar with the disclaimer you mention - can you provide a screen image?

OMG, no Celly! First - it is a Lenovo (Chinese for C-R-A-P like the laptop I use at work). Second - it looks like a fat lady's bicycle seat and a sex toy got busy and made offspring!

LOL! Isn't the Social Club pretty much all OFF TOPIC posts? Actually a very good and related question. I have considered going XBox360 controller for Windows as well.

Welcome ricorp and thanks for the info! I am sure it will be useful!

I found a thread here that talks about a "Dynamo Showcase" with plans found here.. The pedestal appears sturdy enough for standalone and, from the thread, appears that can easily handle wheels attached to it so that you can tilt and move it out of the way when not in use. Another neat one is the Xtension Arcade Pedestal which is designed to work with the Xarcade Tankstick for $299.00.

If you go with a wall mount, all you would need to do then is the base - set it up with a quad stick arrangement - schweet!

I briefly played around with it by editing it to a V3 theme. I did notice a little bit of a delay at first but subsequent loads seem to be quicker (cached maybe?). Since I do most of my item placement editing with Theme Editor, I will stick with V4 as I like the recent color key changes Tom made with it.

Very cool theme, vsilvalopes!

I'd buy it if I had an iPhone, however, if it becomes available as an Android app, while I don't have an Android phone either, I know quite a few that do and will be glad to spread the word!

KustomKId - Have you tried changing the version # in the gameex.ini? I am not sure what negative results would come of it (other than the theme editor only recognizes Version 2 or 4 themes to open directly, otherwise you have to convert an existing 1 or 3 theme to a 2 or 4 to open that way.

I thought that Zinc did Namco Sytsem 11 & 12?

How does it run outside of GameEx? 128MB graphics adapter and 512MB RAM may be a little on the slight side. Will have to take a closer look at the log and ini files when I get home but from what I can see for now, doesn't seem that unusual.

Currently the ratings are only enabled for version1 and 3 themes. Would be nice to be able to have it available for V4 themes *hint - hint* with an option to turn on or suppress them in all themes (same as enable/disable for scroller). Thanks Tom for the update, as always!

Nice start, Brit! I will be glad once I can start my cab project (well, I guess I have already "started" learning what I can about GameEx and the various emus so when it comes time to set up it won't take as long to get the basics squared away so I can focus in on the details).

Can you give a little more info? If running on a Celeron, I assume you are running XP. Is the video card integrated in the motherboard or separate and, if so, how much video RAM? Posting your gameex.ini file and log file (after running game) might be helpful as well.

Awesome job, guys!

Snap naming conventions should follow the same as the ROMs in order to be found. Make sure that the paths are setup for each in GameEx. Should be minimal issue.

I use a Logitech Dual Action keypad and have no problems using their software with GameEx and MAME or any of the emus I have tinkered with to date (and it is free).

That's OK, thanks for letting us know what was the cause and that you were able to determine the cause! - we will mark this as [RESOLVED]

Does that mean this is [RESOLVED] due to PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer)?

I think you will like Win 7 better - I know that I do, although if I build the cab that I have been threatening to do, I will probably go with XP due to the PC that I will be using. It will be dedicated to arcade and pinball only so that will be fine. I will save the console and handheld emulation (along with arcade and pinball) for the HTPC.
