Adultery

What are the recommended requirements on that bad boy? Anyone know?

^+1 for Draco's suggestion. It'll save you time and the EmuMovies snaps are of the highest quality.

Haha questions! Well in a nutshell, there was a wizard and I let it pick options based on what I wanted to do (set up the server on the cab and the kids PC). Then I added each of my machines to my "trusted partners" list so I could use the computers even if they were unattended. Then I had to enable LAN connections in the options menu, and disable the button it adds to the window because that popped up over my emulators. All in all I was ready to manage my whole network in under 10 mins. I'm a VNC newb so I hope that answered your question!

Well I must say I'm pretty amazed with TeamViewer so far! I was able to log into my unattended laptop from my phone and uninstall some software I didn't need, and when I was home I was able to port some DC games over to the cab via LAN super quickly. I love it so far, and I think this is just perfect for me. I'm gonna put it on my dad's machine too so I don't have to fly out there to do maintenance. This software really seems pretty innovative to me, but I'm new to the remote management thing. It'll be nice to do what Freq is able to do for some users too. It gets an A from me!

Probably more in the shit now if it's true.

I'm gonna bet you don't have the support files on your computer (ie MAMEinfo, History, Catlist, etc). PS: Everyone named Mike is a friggin genius!

The thing I liked a lot with TeamViewer was the android app... It would make it possible to make changes from my Galaxy S. So many choices... I'm gonna do some testing today and see which one feels right for me.

That just blows my mind! People's creativity is just amazing. PS: Good fingernails mean nothing without good makeup, just for the record.

I don't trust the gov't enough to believe this. It's sort of suspicious to me that he was "buried at sea"... Not that I'm into conspiracy theory, I just don't feel like it sits right. The woman as a body shield seems like a typical gov't spin to make us hate him even more. It just seems too good to be true, you know? And congrats mesk!

Thank you Draco.

GameEx doesn't install MAME? You have to get that elsewhere. All GameEx does is act as a front end for MAME. It's up to you to put it on your machine. :EDIT: wait you mean the one you installed from setup wizard maybe? You need to audit your roms to know if they're compatible with the version you're running. You can do this in GameEx or use the command line. Again... How is it you're running MAME in the first place? Are you just double clicking the exe and waiting for something to happen? You gotta meet me halfway here bud.

Ok. I think that answers all my questions. Thank you kind sir!

I assume you are running this from the command line right? You using mame.exe or mameui.exe? Like how are you launching the game? Are you double clicking something? What version of mame are you using? What version is the rom built for? There's a lot of blanks that need to be filled in if you need some help.

Haha! I have that happening to me all the time. Especially when something doesn't work right!

Wonder if you're not using a rom set that doesn't match your mame.exe build? Roms frequently change when mame gets updated so you may run into a problem like this one. MAME is touchy like that.

Ok. So it sounds like it's UltraVNC. All my network connected devices (all our computers and consoles anyway) use static IP's already so this shouldn't be an issue either. I'll give it a go and see how it works. It's rare I should ever need to access it remotely while it's being played, I was just more curious than anything. I would like to try RDP but to be honest, it sounds like no fun (ie: work) trying to turn my Home copy into a Pro copy, and I just don't want to reinstall pro on it the long way either. UltraVNC just sounds like a 'put er in and go' solution. One last question though: I want to use this to drop new theme files and cpanel images on the cab from my work station. Will I need to restart GameEx for the changes to be implimented? If I make changes like this and GameEx is running, will GameEx crash on me, or does it just use the cache image until it is restarted? Thanks again everyone for the input.

UltraVNC looks like a pretty attractive option at this point. What's the learning curve on that piece of software? Also a silly question I'm sure, but can I leave GameEx running and still take care of stuff in the background? I mean say someone's playing a game and I want to add some snaps at the same time. Do you see exactly what the user of the machine sees?

And I see they have an Android app too... I'll have some research to do. Only thing is I got them on a LAN already. Not sure I want to get the internet involved if it's not needed. It's probably easier just to share the folders I want to access, but way more limited. @Draco: so I would only have to run this conversion to pro on the machine I want to control, right? If I read that right, xp home can connect to, but not be connected to unless it's XP Pro?

Damn, whoever's fingernails those are in that picture is my soul mate! Haha! That's friggin SWEET!

Hey everyone. I want to be able to do stuff on my cabinet while GameEx is running, like move games over to it and make changes to stuff as needed. I was wondering what kind of software people use for this, and how efficient it is. I have XP Home running on the cabinet, and I want to access it with my Vista computer and my XP computer. Do you guys think Remote Desktop will be the best way to handle this task, or is there something software related better suited to this job? Suggestions?

Ahh I think I still have my TRS-80 in a box in my mom's attic, but it's not in the box unfortunately. I wonder if it still works?

For sale? I really like the 2nd monitor in place of the marquee... It's a very professional job! The coin button power switch idea is pretty revolutionary too!

Aww mesk! Now Google's gonna think I'm not gay anymore!

@mesk: it's been a bit since I been there. That doesn't make you any less the man though! I been using the artwork downloader and I don't know if user contribs go through that. Anyone else know?

Ahh mesk should be poppin those onto the ftp at emumovies. I bet that's a way more full set than the AVIs that are there currently! @freq: nice work!
