Please share your build in "gamers rigs" section when you get a chance. This hobby brings out the creative side of many, and it's always cool to see the result of it!

I got a little overzealous while cutting lengths for my control panel, and well, there pretty much exact to the hinged metal part. Due to this, and the fact I'd rather not have to re-cut everything, I and am considering added some led's with hopes the light will "bleed" through a small gap for a pinstripe type appearance. I thought about mixing several of these Jumbo LED Flahsers, but thought I check with everyone here first. Thanks!

Wishing you an outstanding birthday!

In looking through my config, I notice I do not have support for SlikStik enabled (as mentioned I do have a ipac, albeit an older model), might try toggling that one off. Note that this should also give you the ability to toggle "Enable Direct Keyboard" which by default is enabled when choosing to enable SlikStik support. just some ideas

You've likely ran it many times in the past, but just in case: Download the iso, burn it, boot to it, and go watch a movie while it "does its thing" Good luck!

I'm with Draco, the random nature sounds like something else is causing problems. I it had any sort of repeat pattern, I would think otherwise. I just had a paried set of Crucial DDR3 suddenly develop a failed stick, and while it wasn't obvious at first that's what it was, memtest sure found it in a hurry. Might want to let that run for an hour or so and see if it finds anything (the built in windows test is worthless IMO) <edit> it crashed all the time, but never the same way, sometimes immediatley, sometimes 5 minutes after reboot, next time 15. <edit 2> I went through this with my dads i5 build running onboard video, and it was bad mushkin memory in this case too. Seems the onboard video is particularly picky, and will show any weakness. His machined would run days if it was just idling, but put it to task with anything video related and it was crash and burn, with all sorts of strange anomalies! I'd go through the process though, and go grab the latest reference driver from Intel/AMD just to rule out driver issues. I think troubleshooting the memory is where I'd start after that exercise though.

Scratch that, that thread was going elsewhere. Hopefully one of the sega experts will chime in.

Have you checked for an ipac firmware update? 19 is the most recent version. May not be a bad idea to run system file checker to make sure it's not something weird with your usb controller, or perhaps try Fix-it. (Only recently have I used this, and it fixed a problem with updating not working until right after a reboot) It's not apples to apples, but my ipac2 doesn't exhibit this behaviour. My Happ trackball, and GGG spinner plug in individually to other usb ports.

Hey George, I moved this over to the Social Club, as it will probably gain more traction than in the GameEx projects area. Mechnically, it's just a big mouse ball it would seem, and most likely it's a Happ. Probably needs a good cleaning and or some lubrication. I found this thread, you may want to give it a quick read. Then again, it could be this !

2014 Holiday Sale You guys have spoiled me, I'm not used posting this deal

Check your dip switch settings. <edit> a little searching, and it appears perhaps free play isn't available for DK. Still might be worth a look though.

101, Oh Is your romset that old too? Seeing how Adultrey brings a vast amount of experience and knowledge to the table, for sure try his recommendation. I really hope it works for you! Have you tired running a corresponding version of vanilla MAME, and applying diff patches to alleviate those things that annoy you? Disclaimer: That's so old I don't even know what diff's you would need anymore, but you should still be able to dig them up. Perhaps give 0.106 a try, as it seems it was the last stable release before some pretty substantial code changes Aside from that, I belileve your fighting a bit of an uphill battle. Considering how this project continues to evolve, if you draw a line in the sand you can easily be limiting yourself in so many ways. Good luck! <edit> For the record: The only renamer I've ever been aware of is Don's. To my knowledge it never worked for MAME, you just don't rename MAME names. On the surface it seems renaming is nothing but a simple convenience, but the reality is that it wreaks havoc.

Good deal. Thanks for updating your post with that info

I've recently switched to this theme, and it looks amazing on my 40" screen. I really like the way you navigate the screens with the button layout, and certainly will welcome any additions. Great work!

To say setup is pretty minimal would be overstating how easy it is. Check Dazzle's post Fire up your GameEx rig. Go here and login The configuration still revolves around the GameEx feature set, and what you've already been, or plan to use it for, i.e. if you already used it as a HTPC and or media server. If not, it will be up to you to determine what features to load. The media streaming is going to be the biggest draw for me, as I can keep everything centrally located, and basically make my HTPC's function as a catalyst for playback, eliminating the need for data duplication, or the hassle of shuffling data back and forth between machines.

I believe the best approach here is to figure out what is causing you problems using the built in MAME support. Unless you specifically have a reason not to use this, then you are unnecessarily removing many of the features that make GameEx the great frontend it is. If it simply is not seeing your sets, it sure sounds like a path issue. I can only guess you want to rename things so that you can more easily identify the games while browsing them, but if you have built in MAME support up and running you don't have to worry about this, and you can use Dazzle's guide to custom MAME lists to group all your favorites however you like, genre, manufacturer, etc. MAME relies on the naming conventions within the sets, renaming them would break funtionality. Best advice I can give is to post your ini and log so we can see what is causing you these problems

It is really cool to see the PinballX community flourish from the energy put into it by individuals such as yourself that take the groundwork Tom provided, and build upon it. Congratulations!

Yep, hardback too!

Google Play has LOTR TFOTR HD for free at: https://play.google.com/store/movies...ie-rAUJN48IHXw Personally, I found these to be sleepers.....yeah yeah, I know! (ducks book slung across the room from wife) Some of you might be interested though!

Great price, thanks for sharing!

I get where you're coming from. I really saw the price point a bit higher than that, and while I have no experience with mayflash, the products don't seem overwhelmingly loved. I'm seeing Star Wars flight yokes go for crazy numbers these days, and so I think if someone could deliver a multi-controller unit such as this that "really" worked, people would spring for it. Granted it is going to be a niche market no matter what.
