Yikes!

No problem! Nothing can hold a candle to a cool mod! I wish I had a Dremmel tool, I'd totally try it too. I guess I'll have to hop a train to Florida and see if I can maybe jack one fr-

D'oh! Krakerman, you need to invest in a pair of , my friend! *LOL*The default icon for this is probably in the default theme's folder. Put one of the same name in the MEDIA/LOGOS folder Of the theme you're using and it should change to that one.

You might run into similar issues in the future if you have all those codec packs installed. I'd uninstall all my codec packs including Shark, reboot, then only install shark and the x64 components. But that's me.

You know what would really kick it up a notch? Check out with his mod!!Super easy to do and a huge payoff for sure!

Saves me a later step too. Thanks!

Lol! Glad you fixed it. I was wondering wtf since I can play mkv's fine too. Only difference between us is I run an x86 setup.

+1! You could even go the extra mile and glue some cotton to it around the bottom to simulate the 'phoenix rising' effect! Just so long as the smell of fire doesn't linger in it!

I don't do that for all games. I have a hunch what's happening here. Turn GameEx's mapping off and let ESC kill the game instead of having GameEx brute force the process killing. If the game quits gracefully the loader returns your screen to the proper resolution. EDIT: whoops, I didn't read your post close enough. I don't know why this is happening to you, my machine returns everything to normal on games I can't fix the resolution on.

My stuff stays put for the most part but my whole basement is my office. Every once in a while I move it around but that's more for the sake of cleaning.

Yay me? LOL

Well... Don't doubt Freq! He helps me out with all my stupid questions (ie "Wth? 600 seconds? What's that in minutes?") I'd doubt me if I were you, I suck at guessing sometimes. Unless it's about GameEx which is my life... then everything I say is law!! *LOL*

Shark's pack has FFDShow in it too so it shouldn't hurt your current set-up.

I have a hunch if you uninstall FFDShow first and install Shark007's codec pack it'll work, but it's all I ever use and my rig shows the MP4 videos from EmuMovies just fine.

Gotta be a problem with your codecs. You use Skark007's codec pack?

I work weekends so blah. Good luck, hope the transition's a smooth one. Setting up is the coolest part!

Another year smarter? Happy birthday!

+1. The better you do it the faster we can address it.

You don't wanna hear my life's story. It ends badly.

Is your AV software blocking it? iRotate really needs to be added to your software's 'safe list' or it won't let iRotate do its thing.

Make sure you don't save over a config you've already set up for something else, especially if you're using one that's already in the list as a 'base'! I usually do a 'save as' and name it the same as the emulator I'm using it for. /side note: I had issues like crazy setting some of these up (most notably sound and no video) but ArcadePC launcher fixes these issues and all games run great for me after installing it. Usually it's a color depth or resolution problem and this launcher sets it up to address all these problems without need of a 'fix'.

Me either. I'd imagine this functionality will be available sooner rather than later, so I'll just keep my files seperated and a folder with both until the time comes. HDD space isn't at a premium on my machine anyways.

The thing that worries me here is why your roms are failing the audit. The games you found aren't going to run if they can't pass it, right?

It seems to me after testing that if you set the advanced config to watch "game.exe' and 'loader.exe' it works just fine no matter what game I play or what it uses. One config to rule them all! I should also mention that iRotate doesn't seem to be stealing focus at all, the games load right up rotated or not. Now all of the sudden I can't get Tetris Grand Master to load though, but it's the only game that doesn't for me (aside from BlazBlue), it gets stuck on a box that looks like a window. It's not creating the TTGM_Launcher.exe from the FE for whatever reason. Everything else runs just fine, and aside from the loader there's no 'special tricks' required and most games support my WS resolution. .:EDIT:. There's no issue when it comes to iRotate, it's hard-coded into the loader and there's nothing to set up. How can you go wrong there? Also this switches your colors and resolutions automagically for games that need it and you can set up your controls once and paste them into each game's folder quite easily. It had to be the most painless way to get this working, and it really only took me 2 hours tops... fight games and flight games. The launcher also has artwork included already. For my money and time this way works no matter what your 'skill level' is. Just sayin...

OK, here's what I did to get this up and running on my Windows 7 cabinet: Download ArcadePC Loader You can get it from here: EmuCR Extract game files into appropriate folders in the ArcadePC GAMES folder This step is easy to do. Just make sure you put all the game files in the root of the game folder. Launch ArcadePC Launcher If you did the previous step correctly, you should see a green check mark next to your installed games. Setup your games and test run each one You can specify a few different things here, like resolution, free play mode, enable continues, set up your joystick/keyboard, etc. Some games don't allow you to change the rez, and one game won't load at all on my rig because I have dual monitors and it gives me an I/O error... (BlazBlue) A few things to try if the game doesn't launch: Change compatibility mode for game.exe or launcher.exe to Windows NT (This solved a couple issues for me). Also make sure if you have AV software installed, you set the ArcadePC folder to allow things to run from it. I use Avast! and it didn't like iRotate for games that used it. I assure you it's not gonna fubar your config, your AV probably doesn't care much for the way it hooks your display drivers. Windows Firewall also bitched at me about allowing SFIV to pass through the firewall, since I guess it collects your network data. The jury's out on why, but I have to assume the original machine could link up to other machines. Close ArcadePC Launcher and create some shortcuts In each game's folder, you will find an EXE that launches the game (for example, SFIV_Launcher.exe). Right-click this file and select "Create Shortcut". Name it how you like it, just make sure your artwork matches it if you want it to display properly. Take that shortcut and put it in a "shortcuts" folder you can point GameEx to for your game list. Set GameEx to use the LNK method for launching Windows games If you set your ROM filter to *.LNK and turn on "Show Desktop", and also set your working folder to the shortcuts folder you'll be golden. Your Cmd Line will be: ""[ROMPath]/[ROMFile]"" Create an Advanced Config to watch the process You need to tell GameEx to watch the process since it actually loads the loader. I haven't fully tested yet, but I think I may need to create seperate emulator setups since some games use "launcher.exe" and some use "game.exe", I'll report back after further testing. If this is the case, we'll have to create an emulator group. Ideally I can add both processes in the "watch" list and if one isn't runnung GameEx will ignore it and watch the other one instead. The other rat in the woodpile is iRotate. Again, I have to do some more testing on this and get back to it. Expect an update in an hour or so. Play the game in GameEx!!! If you followed all my steps, you should be happily gaming. If you have anything to add I'd love to hear it. I'll attach my Emu Config and Advanced Config(s) when I'm done going through every game. Hope this helps some of you out. Although most games are in JAP, they look really nice on my cab.
