Yeah that makes sense. Unfortunately I have no kbd on my droid. However, if youre considering a droid, I absolutely love mine. Wouldn't trade it for anything. I was thinking about an iPad but have since decided I'd rather have a droid pad.

No offense intended, but that answered zero of my questions.

Ok so the last build it worked on was a year ago. There have been quite a few changes since then, most notably the change to the rendering system. Whats your d3d version? You are running .net framework 2.0 right? Does your video card need updating?

So you update each time a new version comes out? Could you estimate how long its been since this worked properly? A month? A week? Whats your problem with gameex and vnc? Maybe were on to something.

It should also be noted that we don't generally support nlite or tinyxp builds. They tend to cause more problems then they solve. Not that this has anything to do with the problem, just saying. Just for the sale of curiosity, what version wr you on when it was working? How long ago did you install that version?

It's the same for me bknobi, but I use xpadder to map my GameEx controls too instead of just loading a blank profile on startup or mapping the joystick in Gameex. I use a blank profile for emus that don't use xpadder, but prefer to leave the emus controls at default keyboard settings instead of mapping joysticks. I don't do any command line stuff in Gameex launch before, after, or also launch. Gameex is picky and bat files do the job right every time.

No. I tried using an NES emulator but not into onscreen controls. I imagine MAME uses the same control scheme.

You think that's complicated you should see my Windows games bat! LOL I use labels in my template for batch files because in some instances I use them for choices in more complex situations. Youre right though, in this case theyre not needed.

2.4.8? GameEx is currently version 12.12... Have you tried deleting your cache files?

Great. Glad I could help.

So it's working now? Sweet!

Maybe try creating a blank profile and using the launch bat to change it to the blank one in "launch after"? Mine runs a blank profile when it isn't being used. I load a blank profile up when GameEx starts and run the close process when Game Ex quits. Stuff that doesn't use it doesn't change it.

Sorry it's late and my old eyes don't see so well these days. Lol!

Crap. That second bat was supposed to be E: not F: so change that. Lol!

Okay, try this: In the Also Launch field, use this: ::Launch Xpadder (Mafia Profile) :BEGIN @echo off ::Browse to the directory E: cd "E:\Emulation\tools\Xpadder\" ::Begin Xpadder and Minimize the Window start "" xpadder.exe "Mafia" /M :END ::EoF And in the launch after here's your close Xpadder bat: ::Close Xpadder :BEGIN @echo off ::Browse to the directory E: cd "E:\Emulation\tools\Xpadder\" ::Close Xpadder start "" xpadder.exe /C :END ::EoF Create a TXT file exactly like this one and save it (best to write it out this way instead of copy/pasting it). Change the file extension to .bat

Let me make you one quick. Theres more to it than that.

This isn't going to work: E:\Emulation\tools\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe Mafia /M You need to do something like this: @echo off CD "E:\Emulation\tools\Xpadder\" Xpadder.exe Mafia /M Edit: hold on mesk. Ill make you one.

Lemmie see your bat file.

See that's what I mean. There's a much easier way to impliment this that everyone can use. Especially if one were so inclined to make one for each MAME game, or each NES game, etc. Otherwise you're making thousands of emulators. Right?

Chat mesk? I'll help ya.

I use xpadder command line to kill it gracefully... Xpadder.exe /C Xpadder.exe /M runs it minimized. Tskill works too I just have a thing about killing it gracefully.

/M not \M Yes you'll have to do a CD to get to the exe Like CD "C:\path\xpadder.folder"

I should mention also that in launch after I have another bat file that kills xpadder for me. I have better luck running bat files than using actual command lines in "launch before" "launch after" and "also launch" for some reason.

I make a shortcut to the exe and name it whatever I want, keep all the shortcuts in one folder, and make an emu for GameEx that launches the links. Then I gather artwork that matches the lnk method, make the profiles match the name, eventually throw a db together for the same name, etc.

I use bat files to get around this. I basically send the rom name as a variable, in the "also launch" box like so: Wingames.bat "[ROM]" This is for 2 controllers to load a profile named the same as the the rom or link is. Then in my bat file I call em like this: Xpadder.exe "%1"1 "%1"2 /M Provided your profile matches the name of the rom you're good. I use the lnk method for pc games, so if my link in named "Bionic Commando" so is my xpadder profile... Bionic Commando1.xpadderprofile Bionic Commando2.xpadderprofile (one profile per controller). Plus that way you get custom controls for every pc game you play... Mouse emulation if needed, etc. Did that make sense? Lol!
