Hi Han, The reason for this is that level 6 is a boss rush level. I got back through to the 4th boss. The time is really tight on that level. You have to defeat each boss very quickly. I imagine it would change to 6-2 had I got to the last boss. As for the TG suggestion. I am going to look into it. That is awesome!!

Cheers for the suggestions chaps. I think I have a registry issue. I tried re-instaling .net and the windows update is failing on one update for it. I will try and fix it today.Failing that think I will have to do a re-installation

Hi all, I posted last week about GameEx crashing on me quite regularly. I spoke to Tom and I thought I had fixed the problem, but I am getting a very high percentage of crashes with it again. Sometimes it does it whilst loading and other times whilst I am cycling through the lists. We thought it maybe a codec issue. So I uninstalled the latest Shark007 pack and grabbed the one from PinballX. I thought this had fixed the problem but it seems to be crashing an awful lot today. Does anyone have any idea how I may be able to track down the rogue codec or whatever else may be causing this issue? GameEx has always been rock solid for me in terms of reliability up until now. If any other info is needed then let me know. Cheers J. log.txt GameEx.ini

Hi Tom, Just saw your post. I have just tried again. I managed to get 2 as a test then I got to the daily allowance cap

Got so close to a 1CC on this. The last level is a boss rush mode. I got back to the 4th boss with this score. 47,711,600. Was really surprised to get this as I have an epic hangover.

Yes, just. I have only managed it once so far though. Just had another couple of attempts, but I wasn't close this time.

Sorted the big picture mode issue. There is a small file here that worked for me. Disabling the guide button in Steam isn't officially supported. Please delete if posting links isn't allowed. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2936083&page=2

Cheers Adultery. I didn't know this was a permission issue. Lastly, Does anyone know how to disable Big picture from opening with a 360 pad? I know this isn't a GameEx issue but I figured that that there must be a solution to it here a GameEx allows guide button usage.

Thanks Draco1962. That worked. I didn't realize you can't download directly from the site. Does anyone have any ideas why my sig isn't updating or how to disable big picture mode on steam when using a 360 pad?

This seems to have done the trick. Cheers Tom

No. Whenever I click on a theme in the downloads section it says that I don't have permission.

First post for this one. I have always loved this game, but the more I play it the more frustrating it becomes. There are so many unpredictable sections. Especially the area with the bombs dropping on parachutes. Some times I breeze through it, other times they knock me off again and again. I got to the Amazon boss fight. 53,000

Does anyone have any ideas on these? I have checked and I still cant download themes from the site. So I am guessing it isn't to do with daily usage as I haven't used the FTP since the first post?

I have had a score increase on this. 38,763,840.

That makes sense actually Tom. As I downloaded the Shark007 codec pack yesterday to enable playback of some steam videos that weren't playing. I will uninstall and see what happens. Thanks for looking into this for me.

Hi All, I have updated to 14.32 on the GameEx website and I am getting random crashes when launching GameEx. I say random as it doesn't do it all of the time. Each crash leaves my desktop black and with no shortcuts visible. I have launched it several times this evening and I would say that out of 8 times it has crashed 5 times. It seems to be just after the GameEx logo zooms in. I just get the windows error window informing me that the program has crashed and it gives me a debug or close option. I have looked at the log and it doesn't seem to be reporting any issues. I am using Windows 7 and currentlynly using GameEx for MAME. Thanks log.txt GameEx.ini

Cheers Han. The third level in this game is so tricky. The 4th level seems easier to get to the boss, but he is really hard. I got so close to beating him. Going to try again soon.

Been trying to finish level 4 for ages. Still haven't managed it (just missed out) but have got the top score! 29,033,120.

A increase on my last score. 138080.

Hi all, I cant download any themes on the site. Is the FTP part of the daily usage? If so that makes sense as I grabbed some stuff from there earlier. Does anyone know what I have to enable to get my signature to update with the last game played? Lastly, this isn't GameEx specific but does anyone know how to stop Steam Big Picture opening when pressing the guide button on a 360 pad to quit a game in GameEx? Cheers, J.

Cheers Adultery, I have it all working well now.

Cheers DazzleHP. I will sort it all out now. I did rename that file. I will change it back

Hi all, I have the Hi score snapper tool working as well as the MAME favourites custom list for the competition games within the default MAME list. I am unsure of how to set up the Hi score updater. Firstly, I couldn't find RunOnStartup= in either the gameex.ini or the setup wizard. I found an option in the wizard under external programs called Launch Before=. Is this the same option just renamed? Secondly, as I am using favourites custom list over a map file I have editied the path in Launch before to this: "W:/GameEx/HiScore Updater/HiScoreUpdater.exe" -type 1 -fpath "W:/GameEx/customlists/GameEx HiScore Competetion.ini". Is this correct? I just want to check that everything will work when the next update is added. Thanks for your help. J.

Thanks all for the kind words. I have quite the hangover today, so the celebrating went as planned. Cheers

Hi all, Today is my 10 anniversary of being registered on GameEx. It is great to see that the forum here is every bit as helpful and fun as it has always been. It is my 11 year wedding anniversary tomorrow and it makes me laugh thinking that on the eve of my first anniversary to my wife that I was thinking about GameEx. I joined here from when (i think) GameEx was on Yahoo groups all that time ago and the site and software has gone from strength to strength. Admittedly, I have been rather a quiet member here but when I have needed help or assistance I have always found it. So I would just like to say thank you to Tom and everyone else that has made this site what is today. Cheers, J.
