Interesting, my 360 wireless controllers work absolutely fine. Is it only Bluetooth that requires VirtualHere?

Especially cool that Han seems to have found his niche! Nothing more satisfying than a hobby that others can benefit from and enjoy!

That was a nice bright spot on an otherwise dreary day. Thanks @tthurman for the share.

I feel that... The most annoying thing in the world (probably) is when you ask for screenshots and they don't include the URL in them. Or another favorite: "This very specific issue has been reported by one of our users" and then not telling us who the g**d**n user is. Oy vey!

Jason Statham, how I love thee!!!!

Big ole update. FIxed some bugs, did quite an overhaul of the code, hooked it into your GameEx account, and just made it a little tiny bit better. Enjoy!

You can't assume we're all adults, this is the internet after all. I'm going to have to start moderating this thread more closely it looks like...

My first suggestion is that you sign up for https://isthereanydeal.com , you'll get notified everytime something is free somewhere (which is more often than you would think). If your computer can handle it and you haven't got a console version yet... GTA V is a good one. I play it on PS4, but it's decent for sure. I also can't plug River City Ransom Underground enough! And of course Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is most excellent, I'm sure most of the folks here will back me up on that.

Oh, if that were here in the states, the dude on the bus would have grabbed a phone to record it and hope the cyclist got the guy (for the YouTube hits of course), the cyclist would have blamed the pedestrian for being in the way and popped off, and the pedestrian would have laid on the ground next to the bike holding his neck.

I've been playing Pinball Arcade on it (and considering what games I play latency is mostly just important with pinball), and haven't had any issues at all. But as I said earlier, I'm hard wired so I may not be the best advisor on that.

It really eff'd up my experience on the PC for my first go round, I'll say that. I could say a few bad things, but still no remorse for the price. My complaints are probably more related to my lack of knowledge when it comes to 'big picture' mode. It was really nice playing River City Ransom Underground from the couch. No lag here (I know that's a major complaint) but I have cat6 snaked in through the wall so no need for wifi. i have the YDKJ collection too... Haven't really taken a swing at mouse/kbd games. You'll have to let me know how it goes!

Hi @Tom Speirs: Just to throw my hat in the ring, I have the missing audio when returning from a game as well. Nothing suspicious in the logs. After I run a game and use ESC to exit the emulator, all my GameEx menu sounds are gone. I also lose my pagination controls on the joystick, although the menu nav controls and the confirm/cancel buttons still work. I can reproduce this reliably every time I exit a game. 23:12:33.18 7/10/2018: Opening Configuration File 23:12:33.20 7/10/2018: GameEx: Version 15.34: Starting Log 23:12:33.28 7/10/2018: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 23:12:33.28 7/10/2018: Aero running 23:12:33.29 7/10/2018: Initializing Vista/Windows 7 volume control 23:12:33.30 7/10/2018: Getting CPU and RAM info 23:12:33.30 7/10/2018: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 32601MB 23:12:33.31 7/10/2018: 3.49Ghz - 8 Cores or CPU's 23:12:33.31 7/10/2018: Running Randomize() 23:12:33.37 7/10/2018: Loading PlugIns 23:12:33.38 7/10/2018: Loaded Plugin:"Game Info Plugin" Version 1.3.6 By Adultery 23:12:33.84 7/10/2018: PlugIn: "Game Info Plugin" Initialized OK 23:12:33.84 7/10/2018: Using Plugin System Version: 1.41 23:12:33.99 7/10/2018: Loaded Plugin:"Game Tagger" Version 1.1.5 By Adultery 23:12:35.69 7/10/2018: PlugIn: "Game Tagger" Initialized OK 23:12:35.70 7/10/2018: Using Plugin System Version: 1.41 23:12:35.71 7/10/2018: Loaded Plugin:"Hi-Score Snapper" Version 1.0.8 By Adultery 23:12:37.10 7/10/2018: PlugIn: "Hi-Score Snapper" Initialized OK 23:12:37.11 7/10/2018: Using Plugin System Version: 1.41 23:12:37.12 7/10/2018: Checking for applications to Launch On Startup 23:12:37.13 7/10/2018: Setting default net connection limit to 15 23:12:37.13 7/10/2018: Running Misc startup tasks 23:12:37.13 7/10/2018: Setting Menu types 23:12:37.14 7/10/2018: Getting Configuration Values 23:12:37.14 7/10/2018: Using Theme: MegaMAME 23:12:37.14 7/10/2018: Checking for alternate Image Directory for Theme: MegaMAME 23:12:37.15 7/10/2018: Launching HideOS.exe 23:12:37.15 7/10/2018: Initialising Video/MNG DLL's 23:12:37.15 7/10/2018: GameEx will check for media insertion (may affect performance) 23:12:37.16 7/10/2018: Hiding Taskbar 23:12:37.16 7/10/2018: Using Cabinet Friendly Control System 23:12:37.17 7/10/2018: Is Media Center running? 23:12:37.18 7/10/2018: Checking/Creating LCD Registry values 23:12:37.18 7/10/2018: Check Media Center Exit/Start Mode 23:12:37.18 7/10/2018: Media Center Mode 2 23:12:37.20 7/10/2018: Video previews on.

You may also want to just pm him so he gets an email. @Tom Speirs

/USA-executed mic drop!!

The problem based on your screenshot is that you either don't have the same set in those two places or you don't have a full set. MAME is very delicate. You need a full set for your build... Yes, the rom set changes every MAME release. It's gonna be a bumpy ride, hang on tight.

In the words of DJ Khaled: Anotha one!

Same here. I didn't even realize there was more than one version of the controller (although I did know there was more than one version of the console). I'm a Nintendo/PS4 kid.

I just grabbed the latest version of Xpadder, I'll install it and see if it works. It's crazy though, lots of people using it and no one has reported anything except that one person, and I couldn't recreate it then... There's also some things in that post that don't make sense. Right off the bat, Xbox 1 controllers don't have a wireless dongle, do they? I thought they were Bluetooth? Also, OP says the problem is real, but I don't see any evidence of that anywhere, not even in the Xpadder forums (OP says he posted there, I don't see it). That specific report seems suspect. @RIP-Felix, do you have a specific issue I can take a look at? I'd love to see if I can fix it.

What issues is Xpadder having? I have a plugin for that for GX, and I'm just about to work on revising my code for it. I can maybe do something to address whatever issue it's having.

Upadted to 1.2.4

Updated to 1.1.8: Added new variables for the following: [GameLogoPath] > The path to the game logo directory [GameLogoFile] > game logo file for the game you're playing [EmuLogoPath] > The emulator's logo path for the the,e you're using [EmuLogoFile] > The file that is used for your emulator logo Fixed a small bug that was introduced during code optimizations

Another update to this... I got the 2nd monitor running on my compluter so I could do some testing. Had to fix a couple things and added some new functionality while I was in there. Enjoy! [1.3.5] Added Game Logo capability to GameEx plugin framework (I'll update QuickLaunch to sieze this capability as well, just need to pull in the GameEx plugin framework). [1.3.5] Hooked into the Game Logo for the GameInfo Extender overlay. It will now cycle like this: Game Logo If MAME, Game Marquee Game Title Game Snapshot Default "No Image Found" Image [1.3.5] Fixed a monitor enumeration issue in the Plugin Settings. [1.3.5] Fixed a bug when getting the Artist image from Last.FM. [1.3.5] Last.FM integration now utilizes SSL, so your calls are more, well, secure. [1.3.5] Further code optimizations, some of which were rather intrusive. Please let me know if something seems off.

I was gonna hop in here, but to be honest, @tknow already has a good deal of "homework" to do. Please follow everyone's suggestions before doing anything like reinstalling GameEx or moving things around. Thanks @RedDog, @tthurman and @Draco1962 for the informative and thoughtful suggestions.

I personally don't use PBX, but if it's anything like GameEx, you have to set the language to "Custom" for the language changes. If that's not the case, I didn't say anything...
