I have just decided that i actualy like Vista Media centre (thats about it) and im using it as a PVR i dont have gameex setup on vista and i dont want to even try so i have made a dual boot. now for a crazy idea..... I dont realy want a mouse or keyboard on my gameex pc i control at the moment with a MCE remote and xbox game pads. Im realy wondering if there is a way of selecting an OS without mouse or keyboard possibly an MCE remote. any idea or pointers to it being possible very welcome Thanks Michael

i know the simple answer for this the software provider has to pay to encode into dolby digital, the only way round this is to get a sound card with a dolby live encoder there are only a few around it, sound card link that sound card will let you have dolby digital output for all audio from a mic input to dvd and also in gameex.

i would make sure steam is running in background before you try and launch game in gameex. because if your online, it has to connect to your account and gameex will probly think thats the program you wanted to run then you close it.

were does gameex store this so i can remove the filters?

Dam!! i want some of toms coffee!!!

I have just deleted all my roms and downloaded No-intro sets Im just wondering how i can remove all the games i removed from the gameex list using (Delete) in gameex. I think some are missings at the moment im fine with editing databases i just dont know were the data is stored

i have tried clearing the Cache it Might have to help, but started doing it again bit more infomation it dont think its down to the video file as it crashed gameex then i went straight back to the game it crashed on and the video plays fine

Works great on Logitech G15 keyboard's LCD screen Thanks a Lot Microfrost

I have been going through my ROM's and deleteing dupes and ones that dont work and i get the following error after i have deleted a seemingly random amount of roms basicly the whole screen goes black once then if i got back to the rom it errors gameex and closes or if i scrole down about 10-15 roms it will do the same. i have video previews that i made my self via gameex the previews all work outside gameex log is here 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: GameEx: Version 8.96: Starting Log 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: Operating System Name: Windows XP 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: Operating System Version: 5.1.2600 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+, 511MB 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: 1.6Ghz 15:12:31.7 19/11/2007: Running Randomize() 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Loading PlugIns 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Running Misc startup tasks 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Setting Menu types 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Opening Configuration File 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Getting Configuration Values 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Using Theme: Default - Hybrid Blue - Widescreen 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Default - Hybrid Blue - Widescreen 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Launching HideOS.exe 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Hiding Taskbar 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Is Media Center running? 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 15:12:31.8 19/11/2007: Media Center Mode 2 15:12:31.9 19/11/2007: Video previews on.

your right seems to have sorted it. im gona put it down to to much junk on the hard drive its nearly full now its under tweaks / Performance (snap best match) Thanks Guy you done it again

il try changing an emulator back to the old database and see if it puts the pictues back if my roms arnt good sets would this be likely to effect the pictues not showing up. im just confusing my self now although the roms apear to have the right game infomation so id say the database works fine.

no but il give it a try

Hi i seem to have lost the box and cartridge art of the infomation page on all my emulators and cant seem to find out whats changed will changing to the new databases have effected this as its the only thing i can think that i have changed. The paths to the art is the same and i ahve double checked it i must have changed something but cant figure out what

i have been looking through my roms and watching some of the video snaps i made and i also have a lot of roms that are basicly rubbish either dont work or dupes etc.. i was thinking would it be possible to have a feature called mark Rom or something simaler so you can go down the list and mark bad/unwanted roms and have an option to either filter them out or delete bulk roms

i would use teh PPF Patch and use PPF-O-Matic tool. that should be avalible from mega games if you search this will patch for files for you

heres a log file of the error log.txt

cool il take a look thanks

good question i have gone for ports on the console, there are a few console im not 100% sure on or may be wrong. For instance the aratri 5200 there is a 2 port and 4 port console

just gona bump this thread.. is nobody intrested?

cool thanks Nologic you done it again thanks a lot

i was just wondering if there is a tool for mass file name editing for example taking a set word out of a file name it might not always be at the start or end of the file name. Thanks Michael

cool il try a diffrent version still makes no sence why gameex fixs it but hey its Windows

ok thanks i agree after hearing that i realy have no ideas what it can be seems weird that works for some people and not others

not real a gameex issue but something gameex fixs for VLC Player!! when i use VLC player outside of gameex i often get a Pink video. to fix this i have noticed if i load gameex up play any video in the media player exit gameex the videos work fine in VLC player again basicly i want to know whats going wrong with the codec's i always seem to end up with pink videos outside gameex even after a format.
