I don't have any problems with any of the console emulators loading game lists or loading games, although I do not have any of my console games compressed. I also run 2 different copies of GameEx, both run with no problems. 879 SNES, 757 NES, 329 N64, 356 Master, 992 Genesis, 422 GBA, 981 GB/GBC, 229 GG, 143 Coleco & 496 Atari 2600. The only time I experience a somewhat long wait time is when I load larger filesize games in MAME such as Samurai Showdown 5 Special; But I figure this is solely because the game is compressed & I have my romsets split. Aside from that, smoother than a silk babys bottom.

Can GameEx map keys to the MCE remote like it can with the joystick? I'm asking because I am setting up some emulators for video purposes. One is for mounting KVCD's, then playing them, the other is for playing Real files.

Video Feature Request: Support for mounting images to drives with Alcohol 120 or DAEMON Tools. This would be useful for DVD's & for Video CD's. Video Feature Request: Real video format support. Currently, I am going to have to set these 2 up as emulators in order to make it work.

Does anyone know if there is a way to play KVCDs in GameEx? I have some on my hard drive, I've tried watching it with it in .bin/.cue format, I've also tried copying the contents of the KVCD into it's own subfolder, that doesn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas on how to play stored KVCD's on the hard drive via GameEx. Basically, I'd like to be able to play any media format all via my MCE remote. So far, i can't play KVCD (unless CD is inserted in CD ROM drive or virtul CD-ROM drive) & I also can't play .rm files. Any help would be appreciated.

There's no FAQ because it's self explanitory really. Edit out whatever background you want using whatever graphics program you have, i.e. photoshop or paint shop pro. Then make sure you have that image selected under the "Custom Background" field. If you want to edit the theme, you can use the theme editor but that only works with V2 themes & most of the themes are V1.

As long as you have the option to save the game & have it restore when loaded, scores should be saved. Another big reason why I'm waiting for MAME32 (too lazy to search for the command).

I plan on eventually updating, but with all the new versions of GameEx (awesome job BTW Tom, you rock like a mountain) & all the computers I've been working on & all the DOS crap & yada yada yada, I just want to sit back & play for awhile man. I've had Leisure Larry 9 for 4 days now, I've got to play it once. Since there's no real immediate improvement on anything I like to play, like Soul Calibur, or the Tekken games, or no longer need ZiNc/Sega 2, or really... anything that effects me gaming-wise, I just don't see the rush.Don't get me wrong, I think it's fantastic they improved the video code - that's great, but now it's leaving me in a position to go playing the "what makes the video look best" puzzle & what do I gain? For the moment, nothing much. Just not worth it to me until they at least come out with a mame32 version. Ahhhh.... so there is. i kept going to an old MAME32 site, was still at the old version. Good to know. I'm still not switching yet, but I probably will within the next week or 2.

I'd like the ability to have 2 different copies of GameEx installed & have it work 100% correctly. Perhaps give the option to use an existing user profile or create a new one & have it tied to the user account. Currently, I set up a fake drive (X:) & mount whichever folder to that, this way no matter what copy is in use, the paths match up. Lately changed settings made in 1 copy have been showing up in the other. I'm now removing all my saved stuff & reinstalling again.

I'll wait for a MAME32 version to come out. Sounds like too much effort for me. Lately I've been getting back into DOS emulation, finally got Syndicate Wars working - w00h00.

It seems to be working for straight shortcuts but not shortcuts that are working in conjunction with batch files. See, I HAVE to use batch files on some of these games because they mount the CD on a virtual drive so the game is able to play, example, for Prince of Persia 2 Thrones, the batch file is Now I guess I'm going to have to remove the "start" & "rem" commands to make it work because as soon as the batch file ends, GameEx goes back to the screen - it didn't use to do that.Here's what I don't get, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THE PATH MAKE? It started the game, it's not like I got an invalid path message or the game didn't start - the game started, the shortcut launched - what difference does the path make? that makes no sense. Granted, it worked for straight shortcuts, but why? And furthermore, why is it not working with these batch files the way they are now?

I still haven't updated to the new 1.07 yet & I'm curious if the update is that big of a deal. Are there any games that didn't work before now working or games that were unplayable before & are now playable, such as soul calibur or any of the tekken games, or perhaps some of the stuff that we needed zinc/sega model 2 for is no longer neccessary? What's the real advantage with the new MAME 1.07?

I'll try swapping it out when I can. Adding a ton of old DOS games, plus the kids have been having problems with various things when they try to play so... I've been busy (as we all are). Thanks for your time though fellas, appreciate it. Again, I'll try it out when I can.

Okay, here's mine... Again, I didn't start having this problem until I updated & the game does launch, GameEx just relaunches without the game exiting so the game just runs in the background with GameEx popping back up.Please do not tell me I need to completely get rid of GameEx & then reinstall, I do not want to redo all my settings again to get this to work. I hate resetting this up, especially considering I use 2 copies.

am I the only on having this problem or is this a real bug?

If you're referring to the MCE theme, it's V1. It wasn't. The 2 themes I made are both V1 & I can run them in any resolution. I set them to 1024x768 & since I am hooked up to a TV, I use 800x600. Works fine.Unfortunately when I use a V2 theme, it automatically switches the resolution. I wish this feature would be put back. It saves allot of time for the theme creators out there. I don't want to create a custom resolution for each background 3 or 4 times. It wastes time & disk space. Can already do that for V1 themes & I do. So did the creator of Women We Love to Play.One thing I do like about the V2 themes is I can finally put a custom bak on MAME & hopefully the emulators menu. I've been wanting to do that for awhile. I'm also probably going to continue the MCE theme. I like amos's theme but I don't want to ditch the various logos. They look too cool, especially considering I did all of my own custom logos. I really want to continue with the themes but I never get to play, so I'm taking a little time off. As for the MCE theme, I will make one amos's way (unless he is continuing it) & another with the logos.
