Thank you so much! I've said it before, I'll say it again, this is the best damn forum on the internet!

Like maybe actually PLAYING some videogames? Nah. Funny, ham and family is exactly what Easter meant in this house this year, and we normally don't do anything.

Thanks fRequEnCy, I kinda figured that was the case anyway, since not a whole lot goes on around here besides people asking for advice (And I've never been the best advice giver.) But anyway, I am actually feeling somewhat better, but unfortunately Cancer is one of those problems that just doesn't GO AWAY on it's own. I'm doing really good though and I'm hanging in there.

Yeah I found it, and it's excellent. Can't praise it enough!

Hey guys, just stopping by to say I'm back. I've been away for a long time thanks to my illness, but hopefully I'll be more active once again! So Hello again, hope to be of some help!

This is amazing... thank you Tom!

That is excellent news! Thank you Tom.

From my experience, no, Mame runs them just as well.

A MAP file would also give you total freedom as to what you want your roms named. (Doh' but wait a minute, I don't remember how to use Map files with MAME, only emulators.)

I use NeoRaine for the NeoGeo CD console... and I use Winkawaks so I can have NeoGeo games set up as console games in a separate list. I like having both NeoGeo console and Arcade versions set up, and WinKawaks works great for the console versions.

Thank you Tom!

So it's NOT just me! Whew... I noticed a few updates ago that the preview videos were no longer random... I'm positive they used to be... but now it shows preview videos in some sort of order, every time without fail.

Just open up the advanced config for ZSNES, change "Map escape" to "Send keyes on exit" Send "%{F4}" and you'll save everytime.

I second Starbuck on the system icons thing, as I was going to suggest the exact same! It looks bizzare when MAME games have their own icons but are surrounded by games with no icon. The same could be said for search results. I also would like his idea about the first page of comics to be shown, the empty boxes on the comics page is upsetting. Not sure about his idea for the rating system but I like his other ideas!

AWESOME James Bond Collection!

Lookin good Draco! For some reason, I like the one with the tokens. It's a simple idea and it looks nice. The carbon steel one of course looks very stylish.

OMG it works! Tom! You updated just for me! I can't thank you enough... the new letter select feature is TOO COOL. I'm curious as to what was wrong, or how you figured it all out, but I doubt I'd understand anyway! So just... THANK YOU. Thank you so much!

You got it Tom, thanks for going out of your way for me. If there's anything else I can do to get to the bottom of this, let me know. It says I'm not allowed to post that kind of file, so I zipped it up. GameEx_ini.7z

Copy that Frequency... I tried reinstalling with gameexsetup.exe... I'm still getting this exact same error. I would say I'd just not use this feature anymore, but I just realized I can't press 'L' During MAME gameplay without gameex crashing, which means I can't use my CPWizard. I'm positive this all worked before the update.

That's a negative Tom, it doesn't work with the default theme either. I just started up GameEx, went into the MAME menu... hit a letter key, and it crashes. Very strange. It can be any letter. And I'm sure it worked before the update.

What an awesome list of new features! I was particularly excited about the letter select improvment, but now I'm finding that it doesn't work for me at all... GameEx crashes if I hit a letter... any letter. I'll post my log. 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: GameEx: Version 11.35: Starting Log 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Operating System Platform: Win32NT 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Operating System Name: Windows 7 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Operating System Version: 6.1.7600 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Aero NOT running 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Checking for versions of .net Framework installed 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: .net Framework 1.1 Installed 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: .net Framework 2.0 Installed 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: .net Framework 3.0 Installed 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: .net Framework 3.5 Installed 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: AMD Phenom II X4 925 Processor, 8184MB 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: 2.8Ghz - 8 Cores or CPU's 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Running Randomize() 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Loading PlugIns 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Running Misc startup tasks 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Setting Menu types 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Opening Configuration File 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Getting Configuration Values 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Using Theme: Horizon 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: Horizon 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Launching HideOS.exe 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: CPWizard enabled 23:48:40.6 11/9/2010: Hiding Taskbar 23:48:40.7 11/9/2010: Is Media Center running? 23:48:40.7 11/9/2010: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 23:48:40.7 11/9/2010: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 23:48:40.7 11/9/2010: Media Center Mode 2 23:48:40.7 11/9/2010: Video previews on.

Congratulations Celly! The "sevens" thing is pretty awesome.

Aww come on guys.. thanks.. I wasn't going to even bring it up... since it kinda kills the mood... heh... Seriously though, thank you... I like this forum alot, I like the people, It really is unique on the internet to find a forum THIS kind and this helpful to everybody who arrives. (ESP for a gaming forum, which are most of the time A-hole central) I don't dwell on my condition too much, I believe my youth saved me from a nasty fate, I'm only 26 (far too young for this condition) and I don't plan on going anywhere for a long time. I've already been a member of this forum for over a year, which is actually a lot longer than I usually stay on a forum... usually I last a few months before I get bored or annoyed. To Tom, Adultery, Draco, Tempest, Brian and everyone else here... THANK YOU. This software and this forum ROCK!

Ever since I learned about Emulation, I wanted it all in one place, I had no idea about front-ends. I don't remember how I stumbled upon GameEx, but I've been hooked ever since. Making my GameEx project better and better is always a goal of mine, constantly trying to take advantage of all the features this program has... it's been a real joy actually. I dont' know if I should.... go here... on this forum, since it's kind of personal... but whatever. A few months ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and told I don't have much longer to live. I proved em wrong and outlived that time limit already! However, I don't work anymore and I found myself bed-bound for months at a time. Let's just say, working on GameEx really occupied alot of my new found free time, and kept my mind off unpleasant things. Having a project to work on, and yeah, to play with... it really helps out. I'm MUCH better now that I'm out of hospitals and care centers, I'm living back home and all my visitors are AMAZED with GameEx. I made my own theme and everything (remember horizon?) and alot of people I know don't even know the basics of emulation so the whole setup really blows them away. Occasionally I'll get bored with GameEx... that's when I find myself wishing I could go back to work... imagine that.
