I exclusively used the Configuration Wizard to set up GameEx every time. I'm not sure how to set up a custom menu.

CLICK ME CLICK ME CLICK ME!! EDIT: I cannot get STEAM to work correctly. The only 2 places STEAM shows up in the Configuration Wizard are on the Text page and it's own Steam page. I reset the Text page to read STEAM on both lines... nothing works. It also shows up under the "Emulated Games" menu which I cannot control I assume since there's no settings to change for it. Did I miss something?

I'll be picking up a 2nd key for my laptop. Its been running the demo for a while now.

I love the theme as I said before however I have a question/concern: With the way you're going to have the theme change on a per cartridge basis is there going to have to be a set naming convention? Is it based on what the names are in YOUR ROM list? For example you may have "3-D Tic-Tac-Toe (Atari)" where I may have "3-D Tic-Tac-Toe (1980) (Atari)". Just wondering if I'll have to go through and do a lot of matching up to make this work as awesomely (that even a word?) as this looks!

2nd best movie ever. I love the idea!

Well the Neo Geo Pocket Color is one. The other is something you're probably not thinking about - Windows games. I can live with the black screen looking at Windows actually. I run all my eXoDOS packages, Puzzle Quest and a few others through a Windows PC selector.

I'm glad I saw this while re-reading the thread this morning before install. I only have 2 that don't work (and that's because you don't have them yet). Just want to throw this out there... I LOVE THIS THEME. It's now at the top of my rotation.

Can't believe I missed this being released!! I am going to install this first thing tomorrow in my arcade cabinet and enjoy the ride! Thanks for the awesome theme!

I've upgraded quite a few emulators. All I've ever done is install them over the old one. As example: I installed Stella (2600) in C:\Emulators\Stella I just installed the upgrade to the same directory. Since the exe is the same it's just a matter of being sure the setup is preserved within the emulator(or set it up outside GameEx again). GameEx is already pointed at the emulator so nothing changes in that setup. EDIT: I can't seem to spell lately...

I thnk it's gotten a bad rap. Sure it's not one of the best 2600 games but it is FAR from the worst. In fact if you can get into it the game is really challenging. I also have had head trauma... take my opinion accordingly.

I have a "theme outsider and no idea how to do this stuff" question - how will this work? When you select each system it will change the background? I use Space Invaders HD and Blue Neon LCD 1920 x 1080 by Draco1962 on my system. I love these themes but they only have one "screen" or background throughout. Did that make sense?

I started with a TI 994/a. Lovely piece of history! My father probably spent $5000 on that thing. He had the PEB, TI monitor, speech, 4 disk drives, pinter, modem... wow. I used to look forward to the magazines that would come in the mail with new BASIC programs to type in and play with! My first "current" system was in 1992 or 1993. I applied for a Radio Shack credit card and purchased a $1200 386sx/33 Tandy setup with DOS 5/Windows 3.1 and a CD-ROM! Stylin'! It cost me an extra $100 to add the 512k video RAM necessary to play 7th Guest. Man I miss Jetfighter II. They never fixed it so it could run on a DX machine... I haven't been able to play it since my 386. Even DOSBox can't get the emulation right even though they say it's playable on 0.73. Oh... and to stay on topic... I miss XP! Yeah that's it! EDIT: Went searching for a few of the books I used to have and I can't believe I found my favorite! I barely remembered the cover much less the title or author but here it is! More Basic Computer Games by David H. Ahl. How many of you had this book?

I have always used GeForce cards. The one card I had that was different was an ATI Radeon HD 5770. Failed in 6 months. Silly me for turning my back on nVidia. Just updated my older GeForce card to a Zotac GeForce GTX 770 (also had to upgrade to an 850W PSU). This thing is amazing and runs everything I am throwing at it on top settings.

I did my last update of Windows XP and GameEx on my NESputer today. Then I took out the wireless card and put the card into storage. It was really kind of sad and a small bit depressing. After Windows ME passed through my life** Windows XP was fantastic! It's been a tried and true friend since 2002 for all of my family. Every system I built had it. I knew almost every trick to coax it to work even when it didn't want to. I knew where EVERYTHING was. Yes... Windows 7 is far superior and I really like it. It has less holes and more power than XP. I just can't shake the feeling that one of my best friends has passed away. Windows XP - you will be missed. ** Side note: I think I had a defective install of Windows ME ... it worked EVERY time. I may be the only person in the universe that has ever uttered that sentence!

Wow... I should pay better attention... I thought it was odd you said he did it in 600 points. This is the No-Deaths run that I hadn't seen before! I thought it was the 500 point lowest possible score run as seen here. Both runs ARE by the same player though!

I found myself cringing every time he came close to a coin or stomping a Koopa. It was nerve-wracking just to watch it.

I run .146. I just tried it outside of GameEx and the key that got me past it was F1. I think F1 puts you into a service mode. I hit it like 4 times and it got me to the title screen. Now every time I load it it goes right to the game. I believe MAME needed to create a cfg file (also date stamped when I did this) to run clean. EDIT: Worked just fine inside GameEx also. Only had to do it once. Every subsequent load went right to the title screen.

Got this in my email this morning. I was all over it! A great gem from the heyday of PC gaming! (yes I think PC gaming sucks now but what do I know? ) Check here to see what was sent in my email.

I'm going to leave XP on my NESputer as it only runs a dual core 1.6GHz with 2 GB RAM. It's maxed out. BUT I'll be leaving GameEx on that system as it is. It runs fine now so I've essentially disconnected it from the internet anyway and disabled XP's automatic updates already. I'll do whatever upgrades are left when they go off the air in April then it won't go online ever again. My arcade cabinet is running Windows 7. THAT'S the important one! Yes! This actually makes Windows 8.1 usable...

This is exactly how I feel. Everything I want to play already works and works well. Why should I update ANOTHER set and have to update ANOTHER emulator which may require new configurations and set up all over again? It works. I'm done. No point in updating. That's exactly what happens too. HA!

Nice find Thurman. That was the first 10 minutes I enjoyed today!

I ran "The Arena BBS" in Rhode Island on my 386/sx-33. It was primarily a gaming center and I ran it on WildCat! BBS software for about 2 years. It was no Eagle's Nest BBS but I never had net feeds so I wasn't overly popular to the general public. I had quite a few users log in daily to play the doors I had set up. I remember LORD being one of the most popular games at the time on almost every BBS system I visited. Ah the nostalgia... and those graphics!
