Thanks to Tom for hosting a sampling of bezels (Horizontal and Vertical) I have created. They can be found here. Enjoy!

Have you tried disabling the cocktail mode in GameEx and just worked with the dispswitch settings? If so, what was the result?

I know that i have seen where an application loading will show very briefly and could potentially create a flicker. I haven't noticed anything in the way of a flash across the entirety of the screen as a result of something loading.

Here is are the vertical and horizontal bezels I created for use with the Carbon & Steel theme I created and am using currently. I replaced the original bezels for both the games in play as well as the attract mode screensaver to keep the feel of the theme throughout. Be sure to rename the mame - horizontal.png to mame.png and place in the BEZEL directory.

I've tested all 3 (Weather, News, and You Tube) and still not having any problems - so no bad news from Casa de Draco! with this latest release or the previous. I am using IE 9 Beta for my default browser. If anything, all seem to run smoother.

No need for embarassment - the instructions are located here.

My Game Card is no longer displaying (I get the image place holder). I also went to the http://www.gameex.com/Community.aspx page and the Game Card link is no longer showing. HELP!

On my old PC I found that I did better with no less than 256 MB on the GPU. On the older PCs, you will often do better with as much RAM as the mobo and the OS will support.

Congrats, Mr & Mrs Celly on your new arrival!

This process has worked for some and may work for you - in the GameEx>Data directory, delete all files with cache in the file name. Reboot, then try to reinstall through the update process. If this doesn't resolve the issue, delete the cache files in the GameEx>Data directory again, then install from download. As always, you may want to backup your GameEx directory prior to attempting.

Buddy, you may go wherever you wish! Glad you are still around and hope that you will continue to be for some time! I am sure that I speak for most everyone that we appreciate your frequent input, questions, and contributions and I can relate to the need and benefits of having something to give you a focus away from whatever obstacles can bring you down.

Hey GTB, A few questions: 1. Can you provide a copy of your log file or at least let us know what OS and service pack? If you can provide the log files from both machines, this will allow for a side-by-side comparison and possibly help to troubleshoot. 2. Has GameEx run smoothly for you on this PC before or is this a fresh install on another machine? 3. Have you tried updating/reinstalling the latest nVidia driver for your GPU? Thanks!

OK, gonna have to kiss the missus, gas up my Titan and head up to Adultery's before winter sets in and see if I can get a hook-up to one of those old cabs!

I know I have posted my "Why" a bit ago. I actually caught the bug for emus and building a cab when I first started playing with virtualization (VMWare, Windows VM, etc.) and stumbled upon a blog where they highlighted an arcade cab by knieval customs dedicated to Guitar Hero and built from a Marshall stack. Of course, as I started to explore MAME, I saw that there were other emus for old systems that I have owned/played over the years and realized that havign the "one ring to control them all" was a must - which led me first to Maximus Arcade. I tried the demo version, checked the forums periodically.. again, and again. Very few updates from the programmer or admin if at all. Mostly people sending their payment and wondering when they were going to get their key for the full version - for weeks at a time. During that same time, I was also checking out GameEx. I downloaded the free version and started tinkering. It didn't take long before I decided to eliminate the nag screens and unlock all the features it had to offer. I was hooked and my wife has been rolling her eyes at me ever since.

Not a bad setup! I love Frets! I actually got pretty good with it using an old Dell keyboard and F keys. I haven't ported it to my new PC but have close to 300 songs. I may wait until I get into cab building as I have Gutiar Hero for the Xbox 360 which will likely stay in the living room along with the HTPC.

Brian/All - Sounds to me like he may not be updating the old DA version, possibly due to the default path of that install. Feel free to correct me if I am worng. Cpieczonka - Can you confirm for us what the install path is for your DA version of GameEx is? By default, GameEx (for non-DA users) installs in C:\GameEx when downloaded and ran.

What is the latest version of U64? Is it the emu for the Killer Instinct games?

No cab here - got the bug to build one, unfortunately the bug didn't fall off of a money tree. Likely (and I have the wife's approval provided money is available) to build an HTPC in the future for DVR and games so will more than likely go that route and consider a cab at a later time.

Working for me now as well - thanks, Tom! Edit: I noticed that I cannot change the topic to resolved, so if someone can do that for me - thanks!

Now I get "[#CHAT-02] You do not have access to our chat room."

Web Search would be good! Also I am gonna be a little shameless and plug for my previous enhancement request (if possible) to create playlists for games across emus (kinda like favorites, but on steroids and able to store multiple lists).

Tom/Admins - I am getting the following error attempting to access the chat room: [#1090] The chat room has not been properly setup by the administrator (the chat room account number has not been supplied). This occurs when attempting to open in same window or separate window.

Tom - do ya think we could get Netflicks for free in the next version? Thanks for the update! BTW - what are the settings for Hulu that you are using for the default?

Hey Merc - Installed with your copy of GameEx is a theme editor should you decide to modify an existing theme or create one of your own. Also, I would recommend that you either download and become familiar with GIMP (a freeware - open source image editing program) or purchase a copy of Photoshop for modifying/creating your own unique logos and graphics.

Tom - not sure if you saw that we also have a thread for some experiencing ZiNC Renderer issues currently. Not sure if they are related but occuring at roughly the same time makes me wonder if they are part of the same issue. Can't say that I am experiencing any issues or not as I do not run ZiNC on my machine.
