Something I just noticed: --Player 3's move right command is mapped to the letter L. If player 3 moves right (or the letter L is typed on the keyboard), this pauses the current game and then shows the GameEx Player Controls screen for that particular game. Pressing right again exits that screen and returns you to the game. Is that an option somewhere in GameEx? I'd like to disable that. Thanks.

1. Holy crap I didn't even notice the 'Next Page' option. Wow. Anyhow, I tried both ways (path and specific file) and it didn't play. Ok, I just tried enabling the "Videos" option and I set the Videos path to the path that has my intro movie and I tried playing it and the screen went black. Eventually, GameEx came back and it said, Times Played: 1. But I've been able to play both the MOV and the AVI that are in this directory, outside of GameEx. Is this leading me to the ffdshow path? I checked the logfile and I don't see any errors related to running videos (and it has 'Playing startup video' in the logfile). 2. Found it. Thanks. Thanks!

How did you set an intro video? Which video is it that you're using? I'm having a problem setting an intro video (I have the option turned on), so if you have it running, it must work somehow. Thanks. Jim

Thanks for the reply. I looked under the Enable/Disable Features and I didn't see an option to remove News. Is it hidden somewhere else? Re: the intro movie, I tried putting it in the theme folder I'm using (the default) under Media, but should it have a specific name (intro? logo?). Can the file format be anything (AVI, MOV, MPG)? One other thing I noticed--is there an option to not sort games that begin with 'The'? I'd rather have Legend of Kage under L, than T(he Legend of Kage). Thanks! Jim

Hi I had been using a veeeery old version of GameEx (somewhere in the 3.xx release) on my cabinet for quite awhile with no problems. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, the computer that runs my cab died, so I've had to buy a replacement. Since I was replacing the hardware, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of GameEx. Wow, a lot has changed. Because of the massive amounts of changes, I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to figure out: 1. How do I change/set an "intro" opening movie? I thought it used to be you put a movie called logo.mpg somewhere and it would be called automatically when GameEx started, but I can't remember now (and I don't have my old machine anymore to check what I used to do). Can I define multiple intro movies? 2. How do I get rid of the News category that's in the default start menu? I probably have a couple more questions, but I'm at work now and not in front of the machine and these are the only ones I can remember off hand. Thanks and excellent work! Jim

I mentioned this before, but now that there's an "official" thread, I'll post it again. It might be nice to have a random game feature. I got so many games that I don't have the time/patience to scroll through the whole list to see what I'm missing. Hitting Random Game would at least let me see some the games I'm missing. I was thinking along the lines of a Item on the Start Page which will select AND launch a random game across MAME and all emulators. And this Random Game feature could be enabled/disabled from the Game Prefs. Jim

Tom Yes, I was thinking of the first option. And the 'Random Game' item could be enabled/disabled from the Game Prefs. Thanks for considering.

Here's mine. Still some minor issues to work out, but mostly done. You can see more at http://www.headsallempty.org/gallery/mame

Hi I checked the FAQ on your site, but I didn't see any mention of this issue. Where should I be looking? Thanks.

I've been running Mame32 (the latest) and it's worked well. However NBA Jam, MKII and a few others are painfully slow. On another board someone suggested I try an older version of Mame, which I did (.59) and those games work great now. Question is--is it possible to configure GameEx to work with multiple versions of Mame? Thanks.

Is it possible to create custom folders? I'd like to be able to create folders like 80s Games, Fighting Games, Good Drunk Games, etc. If it's not possible, perhaps an enhancement request? Thanks!
