yeah im not good with codes so if thats they way the program is then ill just live with it. not a big deal just wanted to see if it was possible to do without alot of trouble which i see it is

yeah i understand that but i would just like to have 1 (Unzipped7-Zip) Folder for all consoles instead of one (Unzipped7-Zip) folder inside of each rom folder. one universal (Unzipped7-Zip) Folder you get it?

Is There A Way To Have All Games Go To A Single (Unzipped7-Zip) Folder? cause i have 21 different sets so theres 21 (Unzipped7-Zip) folders. one for each set inside of each console folder. its not a big deal to me but i dont wanna have to keep going into every folder and delete the (Unzipped7-Zip). i would rather have all console extracted roms go into a single (Unzipped7-Zip) then just delete all files from there when im done playing

thanks alot guys the anibak was the problem it was set on true.

no im on a regular computer moniter this has never happened and i dont know why it is but i need a fix

for some reason when i added a custom image to my theme (startbak.png) something started happening. when i load gameex the backround image (startbak.png) starts to zoom in and out and stretch up and down can anybody tell me how to stop this from happening it never happened to me before till today and its really annoying

thanks alot guys since im a registerd gameex user i guess ill pay the 10$ for the year subscription with ftp access. i think a year is good enuff to give my sets more life. i hope they got nintendo 64 that it my favorite console ever and finally got a controller with precise aiming to take full advantage of games like 007 goldeneye and thats the ps3 controller. its so light weight and precise. i love it and recomend it to anyone who needs a controller with precision

i kinda figured they werent legit. but once i have the funds to spare i will buy a membership. or maybe ill just get subscription for a year to test things out

yes im pretty sure i downloaded em from *** and these are the sets i have Atari - 2600 [Videos][FLV-SQ][GoodMerge 2600 3.14][EM 20090224] Atari - 5200 [Videos][FLV-SQ][No-Intro 20081124][EM 20090224] Atari - 7800 [Videos][FLV-SQ][GoodMerge 7800 2.04][EM 20090223] Atari - Jaguar [Videos][FLV-SQ][No-Intro 20081124][EM 20090224] Atari - Lynx [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20090305] Daphne [Videos][FLV-SQ][Daphne 1.0][EM 20090220] MAME [Videos][FLV-SQ][MAME .128][EM 20080311] NEC - PC-FX [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20090220] NEC - Turbo Grafx 16 [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20080820] Panasonic - 3DO [Videos][FLV-SQ][NS][EM 20090220] Sega - 32X [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20080821] Sega - Genesis [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20090902] Sega - Master System [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20080908] Sega Game Gear [Videos][FLV-SQ][EM 20080916] i guess these are old versions or something cause some games shows windows in the backround like it wasnt in full screen mode and other games arent actual gameplay cause it keeps blinking game over. if they have updated versions on emumovies.com with better quality videos i might consider buying a lifetime membership cause i dont wanna make all these videos myself

i saw a thread about MNGer and how to record videos with it but i cant seem to find it now im so pissed...... nevermind i found the thread it SnapShot Magician. but this is alot work if emumovies updated their videos to better versions i will buy a lifetime membership so i save myself the trouble

thanks TSpeirs that did the job.. but the emumovies suck i noticed on alot of the games you can see the windows backround is there a way to make my own videos?

i set up the path in gameexconfig where my emulator settings are located but for some reason none of the videos are playing. do i have do download something else to make this feature work. i would really like to get feature working. its one of the reasons i bought the redistered version. someone please help me
