Great men feel learning as a need... Personally I don't think your pugin is of use for me, but, nonetheless, I strongly appreciate your work... My compliments Adultery!

The "dark side" of this is that there are so few women... I don't mean "addicted" (none of us is) but at least "passionate" with gaming in general...

No way, no way... for concurrent frontends... I've tried a lot of them... of sure it's only my opinion, but I think GameEx is the best and, as we can see from this anticipation, will be even better! Just a question: vertical scrolling (optional) would imply a complete rewrite of this feature, or could it be implemented with ease?

Wow wow wow!!! Great idea, great improvement!

Italian language file updated: the great new touchscreen-support entries have been translated. Plus a couple of corrections. Italian.zip

Do you hear that "error" sound when closing Project64? Anyway, look at the attached image. If you click on the question mark in the "Keys To Send On Exit" section, you get all the commands available.. and they are a lot. Speaking of your question, these are abstracts from the help menu: {DELAY X} Delays sending the next key of X milliseconds. After the delaying the following key, the subsequent keys will not be further delayed unless there is a default delay value (see DELAY=X). Example: {DELAY 1000} <-- delays subsequent key stroke for 1 second. {DELAY=X} Sets the default delay value to X milliseconds. This will cause every key to be delayed X ms. If a value is already set and you specify {DELAY Y} you will have your following key delay Y ms but the subsequent keys will be delayed X ms. Example: {DELAY=1000} <-- all subsequent keys will be delayed for 1 second. Hope this helps. Alpha. EDIT: Since Tom implemented the global exit key, I noticed there is no need to use an advanced config file. Dunno why, but it seems that it closes the emulator more "gently". Different emulators, like WinUAE, refuse to close and require an advanced config file.

Well... ESC is the predefined key to close current rom and return to the emulator GUI (Project64). This is the way the emulator works. Try it outside of GameEx and you'll see. I set %{F4} instead, to close the emulator directly... using a gamepad is very simple to manage. EDIT: As a side note, I have few systems emulated, and I can say that the global exit combo does not work with everything. I configured 4 buttons in my gamepad so that, if pressed together, they should trigger the process closure. And so they do, but not with everything: WinUAE (Amiga Emulator), for example, is not affected by the global combo key. ESC, instead, works always with each emulator I've tested.

I use both emulators. Advanced Configuration worked great for me, but now I prefer the global exit key. Speaking of Project64, I would suggest to set a 600ms delay time before processing the combo key, as I did, or otherwise you may experience an error sound from the emulator being closed abruptly. Not an issue of course, just an annoyance. This way I was able to exit the emulator cleanly. P.S.: As Adultery said, you have to use ALT+F4 to close these emulators. Type %{F4} in the corresponding box. Cheers, Alpha.

Uhm... it could be worth trying to check the hosts file... although most unlikely (I don't see why or how all GameEx related DNS should have been included). The hosts file is one of those things that can prevent a pc to connect with a remote host.... 1. Enable "Show hidden and system files" 2. Open your hosts file with notepad. You'll find it in "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\" 3. Check if you find something like 127.0.0.1 www.gameex.com or related dns... Just in case you find something of interest, delete the unwanted lines, save and reboot. Let us know!

I meant the "Enable/disable mouse" under the Input Settings section... And this is not exactly what the OP wanted... so I don't know. Strange thing is that on my system GameEx hides the arrow correctly... so maybe han is correct in assuming that this could be a DirectX issue (a DirectInput issue in particular)...

For me GameEx starts with the mouse arrow hidden. Not sure now (cannot check directly in Setup Wizard), but IIRC there is and option to show/hide mouse arrow, or at least some options to control the mouse behaviour. Am I right?

Better say thanks late than never... Thank you Tom!

I see you updated your theme, Adultery! Good. Goin' to download right now. I'm currently using this theme for my setup... and I find it literally fanta-super-astic! Thank you for sharing this great peace of work that remember me strongly the old-gaming feeling!

Please, could you explain your better your issue? Which icon do you mean? A snap or image would be useful. Regards, Alpha.

I went here and found 2 news, a good one and a sad one. Your theme is amazing, going to download and install it! But... sorry for your grandma. Accept my condolences, Adultery. Alpha.

I'm sorry to hear that in other part of the world things are not always better, but I can confirm that here in Europe (Italy) the site is 30-40% faster to browse. I'll try the download speed later. Occasional low-download speed could happen from time to time. This can be caused by several temporary reasons. It already happened to me, too, to download GameEx or GameEx extra content from the site at 30-70 kbps, but in the majority of times the speed was considerably higher. You could just try several times in different hours to get a more precise idea of what's happening in Australia.

And most important, it SEEMS to be stuck at a certain percentage, rather than proceed on a regular basis. But actually it's doing its work. As stated by fRequEnCy and simbamame, just give it more time. If GameEx really freezes, post your log. P.S.: Welcome to the forum!

You could try a reinstall before reverting to a previous state. Unless your system had no changes at all in the previous days, system restore "offers" more damage than benefits...

Can you try with a different browser, just to check if your internet general settings are ok? In these cases most probably they are, but I would try anyway just to be sure...

Yes han, your version number is the most important thing to tell us in first place. The only thing I can say is that with my IE8 (updated to October 2011) everything is ok. I use IE8 because I'm stuck with WinXP. I checked the xbox website and a couple of other sites, although I use Firefox for regular web browsing. Speaking of the xbox website, do you have Silverlight installed?

Glad you sorted it out! Enjoy GameEx!

Good! Thanks Tom!

Oh, now I understand... I never imagined this would have implied an almost total reworking... I thought it was simply a matter of adding a background image for the upgrade... Now I can perfectly see why it's not the case...

Double oops! Today is not my day. Excuse me fReq, I had a slip. I was pointing the OP to your instructions. Maybe the work for my degree is goin' to make me mentally confused... I wanted make sure the OP followed your instructions, explicitly telling that it is the simplest thing to check before proceeding. My apologies to you and Adultery for my slip.

@ Theme creators: (that is, AFAIK, Adultery, Draco and Krackerman) You know, I'm very crappy when it comes to image & graphic editing, so I don't feel to be able to contribute to theme development. But... but, if I can, I would ask: are you planning to update your recent wonderful themes with an update screen that matches with your most recent themes, since Tom has already implemented this feature in GameEx? This way they would be "complete".... This is just a thought, I don't want to appear like the one who exaggerates in requests... Cheers, Alpha.
