Wow the stuff in this thread is great!

[media=]

I'm definitely going to have to get this up on my cabinet. Thank you!

Ooh I LIKE those Tankstick mods! Curious as to how annoying the lights would be in a darkened room but they look awesome. That and one of these years I'll do the spinner mod below that I saw on AA. Someday...

While I can't compile my own versions of MAME I know a few places that do and when they do a "HiScore Patch + No Nag Screens" release to MAME I get it from them.

12.83 fixed it. At the time I believe the location was actually hardcoded to a location on the L:\ drive. I can only assume this is where Tom keeps his files.

I also didn't realize that there's a good 20-30(guess) settings for Change View! Took forever to come back around to the default. I saw them all and I guess I just like it the way I had it. This is an awesome theme though and is now the resident theme on my NESputer! Thank you.

I am really liking this one and looking forward to seeing it live on my arcade!

I'll give it a shot tonight. I really like how your screenshot looks as an interface!

I checked this theme out and I really like it. It's clean and streamlined. What settings are involved to get it to look like your screenshot? (ie the gamelist is the title screens)

Custom Atari 2600 PC by Hard Drives Northwest I love my NESputer but as a Classic fan I REALLY want this one.

~1 is how DOS interprets anything over 8 characters - Windows extended naming. You are correct - what you are seeing is "c:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\user\LOCAL SETTINGS\Temp\9db8_appcompat.txt". On my computer: Program Files is C:\PROGRA~1 Program Files(x86) is C:\PROGRA~2 Documents and Settings is C:\DOCUME~1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As for an NES emulator I have been using Mednafen lately. I will have to try Punch-Out though. I just thought I sucked at it and haven't tried it since I used Nestopia. Most likely I'm having the same problem and maybe Mednafen will work better.

Updating now - Thanks!

Same here. Thanks for the quick response Tom. Greatly appreciated as always.

Sorry - see above. Didn't see your post until after I saw Alpha's for some reason.

No dice. Tried it as AmbienceFile=C:\arcade\arcade.mp3 and AmbianceFile=C:\arcade\arcade.mp3. It still doesn't play. Tom - Yes the arcade.mp3 file used to work in 12.77 and below. It also still plays through Windows Media Player. I use Draco's Space Invaders theme and GameEx makes all the normal menu sounds and plays the startup sound as well which I have set to Sinistar's "Beware I Live!"

I attempted to edit my post but it won't save it... My folder is "c:\arcade" and my file is "arcade.mp3".

I have had this issue since 12.79. My arcade ambiance file used to play fine before that. I'm on 12.82 now, have updated automatically and manually just to be sure. No change. My ini file shows the right folder and there's nothing in the log that I see that would cause it to not play. Am I missing something? GameEx.ini log.txt

I'm out camping right now so I'll upgrade when I get home. Question - does this release fix the ambience setting? It was hard coded to L: or something like that in 12.79. Just curious.

Oh this is great news. I'm happy to see this resurrected from the dead!

This project seems to have taken on a life of its own! This is an amazing little piece of code and much, much better than I ever could have hoped it would be. Thank you Adultery! Draco and KRC - sweet graphics. Makes it look pretty as well as functional. You all are amazing!

This is AWESOME! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Thank you very much Adultery. This is EXACTLY what I'd hoped it would be.

That's exactly what I was thinking about. I realized this would be a very niche request when I suggested it but I would definitely appreciate it if it could be done. MAN! Now I have to buy a new keyboard. Mine doesn't have that one... http://youtu.be/gugbMw4LigY

I use my game PC a lot as a PC so it loads then runs GameEx. After it loads GameEx and scans the database it gets to the main menu. Then I can shut it down. On my older computer this can take a bit. So... How about a switch in the settings we can turn on/off that would activate a load delay for GameEx itself? I'm thinking it pops up a box with an "X" second timer. If the timer counts down it runs GameEx as normal. If you click "Stop" or "Exit" it goes to the desktop. "X" could be a short timer or configurable by the user. This way I can leave it to autostart for everyone else and I'd be able to boot without loading GameEx when I want to use the PC. Minor option that I would use constantly. Just not sure how minor that would be to code.

I thought it was something I was missing. After reading this I checked my GameEx.ini file and it is the exact same line. Glad I'm not going crazy.
