I do agree that there should be an arcadebak.png for sure. Of course if custom menus supported custom page assignments, this wouldn't be an issue... Well maybe it would since that would technically be an emubak. Either way, thanks Drac and Krak for the +1. I'm glad I'm not the only anal retentive themer here! Lol!

I hate to ask even, but when you compiled your MAME version you did remember to apply the patch right? Specifically the u6 patch? Does your nonag work as it should? Of course, we don't really support u builds, but maybe someone who is already compiling said builds can confirm that it's breaking hitotext?

More info please! Could you up a log from after the crash?

To answer that: Worth whatever it costs! Lol!

The emubaks are working. It's the sub menus that don't change at all. Like this: Start is startbak.png Console games menu is startbak.png* Nintendo consoles is startbak.png* Nintendo SNES is snesbak.png The two starred ones are the ones I wanna change. Similar to the way I can use custom emubaks, I'd like to specify menu bg screens. So like this instead: Start menu is startbak.png Console Games is emulatorselectbak.png Nintendo Consoles is nintendobak.png SNES is snesbak.png Does that make sense?

Hey guys. I'm working on a new theme and I noticed that Custom Menus needs work. Can it be made so that it specifies what page displays on each menu? For example... When I go in to GameEx, the start page comes up. Then I select Console Games, and it's still the start page. Then I select Nintendo, still the start page. Then I select Nintendo NES and the emubak comes up. So what I was hoping for is this: Gameex start page on opening. Select Console Games, the emulator select screen comes up. (emulatorselectbak.png) Or if I go to the Jukebox menu, have jukeboxbak.png come up on that list. I currently have radio, boxee, and the jukebox here. Or better still (and I may be really stretching here), select Console Games, and emulatorselectbak comes up, then select Nintendo and have NintendoBak.png come up (I know its an extra page, but it would be a really nice touch). Maybe you could have a way to tell gameex what page to display (like a pull-down list with all the baks listed, kinda like emubaks work) and users could really customize the snot out of their menus. Otherwise I feel like I'm making pages for nothing, since half of them never even come up. Responses welcome!

Ok, so in summary: You compile fresh each time. You have tried unchecking everything, and left the optimize option on 'none', and Vanilla MAME plays this game fine. How about other PC10 games? Is it only this one that crashes? Oh and PS... The only framework pack you need for MAME Compiler 64 and GameEx is 2.0

Awesome, thanks! Ok, first question: Do you have more than one codec pack installed, like FFDShow or CCCP? Or is Shark007 the only one you got? Next question: Are there any updates available for your video card? Last: Did you update the game list after you added the videos?

Thanks Fred, but could you post the log file? Start/GameEx/Utilities/Log Thanks!

I think it's gonna require more than just an ahk script to be honest... Youre gonna have to pads the rom name, location, and the command line on a per game basis. Freq would know at least where you could start from. Scripting is totally not my thing so I may just be talking sideways too, who knows?

Boy, using MESS will indeed require a new loader. Youre probably gonna be better off sticking to WinAPE to be honest. It's generally not a popular system, so the chances for a new loader are likely next to none.

So you installed Shark007 as per my suggestion? Again, I know youre new here, but it would be extremely awesome if you followed the instructions in the pinned thread about asking for help. Without your log it would be next to impossible to guess. It's kinda like someone making the noise their car makes to the mechanic and not bringing the car to the shop with you. By the way... Do your videos work in Windows Media Player?

What codec was that? Like what thread did you find the link?

Youre making a new folder to put the source in every time you recompile right?

I "borrowed" that idea from someone...

Hmm... My PC-10 games work fine. I just set them up with MameEmuMap to use the 2nd screen in Game Extender. The only game that crashed on me was 1942. I also use a compiled version of 0.143.

A bit deeper now... I really like how the headers look. It's enough to make me go back and redo all the pages I already did.

Okay! Great! Marking as such! Welcome to the forums by the way!

Can you please post your config for GameEx so we can have a look?

For the first one: do your mane games match your version of MAME? For 2: You copied the images over to the directory MAME is set up for in GameEx? Did you go folder by folder our just dump all the images into the assets folder? Double checked?

You can change the hotkey for that function from 0 to something else... If I were gonna do this I could see how this would be useful. I'd probably just use the same template for the whole system with specific codes for each game. Man that would take a while! It'd be cool if we had easy access to the intel though! Definitely be cool to see though!

Can you also view the custom artwork pressing the 0 key in-game? That would also be sweet! Damn that may be work! But I can already see the advantages. Especially with GameExtender...

Love the custom artwork paths!

You using a database editor? My friend Drac here does db in OO I think...

Any database editor should do. I use Access but theres probably a free alternative like Open Office that can do it.
