! will that include all theme elements?! And will there be more layers other than fore and background? So we can "stack" our theme elements? I'm not trying to be a pain in your behind headkaze, but i'm so frikkin eager to see this new engine you guys have been working on, and hinting at recently I have a feeling it's gonna blow our minds

Hi steveb, it's been a long time since i used nebula but it seems to me you are launching through some sort of batch process? If so try putting: @ECHO OFF at the beginning.

tell me bout it lol i just tried this game for the first time and lol i suck! it quirky though but i seriously haven't played a game like this since... erm... what was it called again? Adultery? You know the one it was called erm... i got it! "Break Radio's"! I knew it would come to me. I'll get back to you on this one -EDIT- had another try =p 2,773,260 My nam is AAA coz i kept on firing even when gamover lol i'll get this eventually ^^

Hi folks! I know it's not something to get too excited about, and i don't know when it happened, but my vid is the 1st video result when searching "gameex" on google (uk google anyways) go on try it! It's the Steam & GameEx demo vid it's very popular (by my humble channels standards) i'm so chuffed i just had tell you guys have a go

oooo nice! does this mean we'll soon be able to have animated overlays that aren't indexed?! ie GIF's? (hate GIF's )

Them logos turned out just awesome naborneo! Catered for all angles too, much respect (downloading) I may just finish a theme yet thanks to you Quick nerdy question - how long did it take you roughly to render all them??

Nice design there Draco! I been thinking about a xbox dashboard type theme recently, sort of old versus new - these would fit in great! I seen you've gone gone all xbox crazy lately - is that in protest, or celebration of the XBone??

Hi majorspawn, Try these suggestions from 2 days ago

Try changing: Setup Wizard> Attract/Screensaver> Mute Emulators to Yes. May work

Hi PmG and welcome! Go to Input Settings in setup wizard and scroll down to Joystick Input. Change Enable Custom Joystick Controls to Yes then set a button for "Paging". With whichever button you set held down, the list will scroll much faster. You can even jump to the next alphabetically by tapping it

Music theory - bleh I've never had a lesson, can't read music for dumplings and i play the D chord "wrong". Yet i can nail a song after hearing it 2-3 times, by ear, it just flows out. I have a feeling if my brain was full of "properisms" it would take a lot longer. I've also been bitched at 100's of times by "educated" guitarists about the way i play the D chord, yet my chord switching is smoother than any of them, go figure. I know i sound big headed there, but it's not my intention at all. The point i'm making is if you have it you have it. And any one who says you are wrong for doing things your own way is an idiot If it sounds rocking you nailed it. That's all that matters. I'm still tempted to try Rocksmith though, even if it is to just PWN it as null puts it hehehe Does anyone know if you have to have the special usb lead for it to work though? i have a custom cable i had made years ago for plugging my guitar into my PC, would be cool if that worked. @Draco, yeah Epiphones are not bad guitars at all for what they are! Especially for a beginner. Infact i would say they are one of the best "cheapies" Be warned though parents, it might make them want the genuine article - college fund go bye bye

Can confirm with latest version all is ok on my end. @helpman, make sure you select/highlight your desired plugin before clicking [Configure]. Clicking on the checkbox (enable/disable) won't actually highlight/select the plugin itself. So for instance i click on Adultery's xpadder plugin, i configure. All is good, but then i notice the Cursor Hider by Stu! Awesome, i want that activated! So i click the checkbox! At this point, the Cursor Hider is active (i just clicked the checkbox) but it is NOT the selected plugin! Adultery's Xpadder Plugin is! Because it was the last plugin i selected So when i click on [Configure] it takes me to the Xpadder configure screen, not the Cursor Hider configuration, even though it was the last thing i clicked on. Hope this makes sense

My thoughts: 1) Yes it is that simple! Make a backup of GameEx.ini and any advanced configs you have created, and it should be as simple as installing GE, then over-writing said files with your backups 2) I'm still on XP and to be honest all emulators run absolutely fine! I have been running both nullDC and PCSX2 for a while now with no problems. The "prefer DX10/11" is down to lighting mainly, but remember these emulated systems never had this anyway, so you won't really see much gain from it. 3) All in all, if you upgrade to W8 for your emu rig then that precious 4GB of ram is going to start struggling, not only does W8 use quite a bit more RAM natively, so does DX10+. /My2cents

Hi helpman, i am by no means a 3d guru, but if you are talking about the "3d cabs" option, showing a 3d model of selected system/arcade then there are a few things to consider which will have an effect/impact on load/display time: Faces/vertices/polygons: The less there are the faster your model will display, and less likely to make others freeze/crash Textures: Make sure your textures aren't too hi-res, this can impact greatly on memory and frankly GE doesn't need hi-res textures to look good What will look good comes down to your skill as an artist - there is a reason game artists are sought after, because they know how to make things look good within restrictions

Bravo Adultery, i just had to drop some kudos in here for ya!

Blitzkrieg Bop Never knew you were a guitarist null! Guitarist of over 20 years here, although i don't mention it much these days as due to health reasons i had to quit. But i still got it! (just broke the bad boy out and ripped it ) Never played rockband/guitar hero and the like, well i can play for real duh lol but this rocksmith has got my interest after reading your posts. I doubt i'll get any better coz i pushed myself like a madman when i was young, but if it is a genuine learning tool then i'm all for it! How does a Skype jam sound??? null on bass, i'll do rhythm/lead and or backing vocals, just a drummer and we got ourselves a band! Crazy that you didn't really know what palm muting was till now, but then that's mainly a rhythm guitarist technique, just like slapping is a bass technique, we can both do it but one does it better than the other I like this topic a lot! Dam i wanna play more...

You hit the nail on the head there - i was a bit dubious to chime in, as my OC methods have been a bit trial and error, (i don't have many instances to try these things!) but the times i have had an opportunity it's always the heat that causes the problems, so i was going to say:- If you really want to push your CPU then investing in a couple of cheap 12cm fans will go a long way, especially paying attention to intake/outtake. Getting a good "flow". You need to keep the temp down and just a lil increase in CPU power can skyrockect the temp. In my experience anyway. I urge you to be brave though, and i look forward to your findings =)

Nice troubleshooting there and thanks for reporting back your findings! FYI the "zip" option in GE is intended for use with emulators that don't natively support it, for those of us that like to keep our roms neatly packed As you found out, GE will unpack the zip/archive and send the contents to the emulator - which will confuse it and cause errors if the emulator does this internally. So you should always make sure within the emulator first, before choosing the option in GameEx

Hi R-DUB, Please review this thread as helpman had a similar issue recently with VP not closing correctly. It turned out an Advanced Config was needed. If this doesn't solve your issue, or you just need a bit more guidance then by all means don't hesitate to get back to us

Liked and agreed. It def makes the HiScore forum look tidier, also makes it easier to find the right thread at a glance.

Haha! Awesome! You can say what you like about Google but they have a knack of entertaining you while you go about your business - did you break them all?

You may need to tweak the graphics plugin per game Han as with PS2 emulation there definitely isn't a "sweet spot" setting that works for all games. What works for one will break another. As for DMC i find that playing in anything other native resolution causes horrible graphical glitches - it looks a bit ugly at native res but runs at 60fps on my system. As i said though tweaking is key if you want to get a lot of games working. Here is probably one of the most thorough guides around for using PCSX2. I know there is a lot to it but once you tame this beast you'll learn to love it - unconditionally And seeing as we're showing off - here is FFX (@1080x1080) running on my: i3 (2nd gen) 4GB DDR3 1GB HD5750

They look awesome! Thanks for the heads up!
