I had some of them too, but I'm a little behind on these so it filled some voids for sure. Anyone get their cab mode unlock key yet? If so, how is it playing FX this way?

Thanks, we'll investigate the potential cause.

You can run GameEx without a license, but you'll have to put up with the nag screen each time you launch it. Still, it's a good way to try it out and see if it fits your style. I would venture to guess your setup would do fine up to the earlier cartridge based consoles, but I wouldn't expect much more.

Congrats on getting it back online! Years ago I chased these type of upgrades and was always disappointed with the results. Your money would be better invested into a newer rig, IMO. You can pick up decent i5 of i7 3 or 4 series for so cheap it's just not worth it to struggle with antiquated parts for a minimal performance gain. I just upgraded one of mine with a Z68, 16GB and a 3770S (since it isn't as power hungry). If you're patient you can score a similar deal on ebay and have a vastly superior rig. VAIO rig might represent an opportunity to re purpose for a Win 98se legacy gaming machine even.

I have no idea how long this offer will last, but this was posted over at Slick Deals. Comixology is an Amazon company, so you're all set if you already are an Amazon customer. https://www.comixolo...Uki07UUlRT:cX40

Agreed Have fun jwrmo!

It's easy to do, at any given time I have two to three versions of GameEx loaded, so I get totally get what you're saying. Thanks for posting back your solution!

From my GameEx Arcade Edition setup it appears the down-loader created a folder called "Media" on my drive, and within it appears to be the assets from EmuMovies. Disclaimer: I do not run consoles, so my info may be irrelevant.

Yeah, I dug around in the folder after pulling it down and couldn't find it either. This is odd since some systems are in there, but this one must have come in via the down-loader. The Automatic Artwork feature I seem to recall creating folders because it compares these when you log back in to see if newer, higher quality versions are available, but it's been a while and I don't recall where. I'll try and dig around tonight.

Looks like a nice rig, best luck getting it back online!

I can't say I've ever tried to change these myself, but in this particular instance I believe that logo is part of the theme and not downloaded via the automatic system. The theme editor takes a bit of reverse engineering to master and is not something I've spent any time on personally. Hopefully someone who has can chime in here and offer some guidance.

I've never used that particular command, but give this thread a look and see if perhaps it gets you what you're after.

"CMOS Settings Wrong" You CMOS battery is probably dead and has reset all your values. Change the battery, boot , F1 to setup, set clock, load optimized defaults, ensure no onboard graphics are enabled, save and exit. That be where I would start based on what you've provided. Most likely a CR2032, but it'll be stamped on the side of the battery.

You have access to all three front ends with a subscription. You will need to furnish all of your own logo's and media and then set the path to point to the folder that contains these items. There are lots of sites out there that have this type of content available, but you may wish to register for a free Emu-Movies account to obtain a large portion of them automatically, just input your username and password in the automatic artwork download section of the configuration wizard. You will be limited in how much you can download per day unless you subscribe, so it could take a few days when using a free account.

Hi jwrmo, welcome to the GameEx forums First, realize that GameEx Evolution has considerably more configuration options built in that can make it look daunting if you are new to it. I would suggest you consider familiarizing yourself with GameEx or Arcade Edition first, as I think it will serve as a good primer for how to configure EVO. These should help you: GameEx Setup Wizard Configuration Wiki To be completely honest, these guides are in need of updating due to all the recent updates, but they should provide decent reference material never the less. Additionally, you may want to reference a video guide Simply Austin posted to his channel. It too is a bit dated, but the general concepts are still there.

Yep, that Pong!

Glad to hear it's working on the PC that matters the most. Those DISM tools have saved me a lot of work in the past, numerous times, but usually require mounting and iso on a flash to do the repair. I always do the other steps, but it's rare that I can skip that iso method. Good luck!

I'm leaning towards the Intel's actually, but I'm always interested in considering more affordable options. I bought a Gigabyte SSD a couple years back that had somewhat mixed reviews, but it's actually a solid performer. I didn't even know Pioneer was in the game to be honest and have been surprised to see the spinner storage "old timers" seemingly so far behind the curve on solid state drives. Guess it's not their bread and butter, but they do seem to be advancing in that arena somewhat.

Yagi's are great antenna's, and especially so if you're on a mast. Going thru wood decking and asphalt cuts the signal strength roughly in half though, which may explain why I've been unsuccessful with multiple TV's off the same antenna. For my shortest coax run, ~30 feet, I'm using a ClearStream 2V, which is the old version of what I linked above. The VHF element on this is the long horizontal bar at the top, and our NBC is on VHF. I've got this fed from the antenna down the wall with compression fittings on RG11 quad shield, but the signal. This works great, but if I switch it to the other TV, which is a bit more than twice the distance of RG11 feeder coax in the attic, then no go on VHF and inconsistent UHF performance except on clear days. For that TV Is used a ClearStream 5 , which is freaking huge and dedicated to VHF, along with a combiner to join it to a single DB2, and everything comes in perfectly. This single little bow-tie style pulls in everything, including channels 50 or 60 miles away on the back side of the antenna. I can't imagine what type of signal the double or quad gang of these little guys would pull down, but I'd imagine signal strength would be a non-issue, well on UHF anyway. All of this stuff is very prone to attic gremlins, stuff that makes no sense whatsoever has dramatic impacts. For instance, I combined the above two setup antennas with 3' RG11 coax and got nothing, but replaced just these two cables that tie the antennas to the combiner with RG6 cables and all is working great. Attic mounting is tricky and very different in each house I've been in. What works in one, doesn't mean anything for just across the street.

Unless you are considerably far from the broadcast antennas, and/or in hilly terrain, a signal booster spliter setup is likely to cause more problems than it is worth. IIRC, every split ads .5 db of loss, as does every interruption, couplers, wall outlets, etc., plus you want the signal booster at the point of reception, meaning needing power in your attic. If you're close to the broadcast antennas, then the booster just adds tons of noise and makes everything worse. Still, I pickup signals 30+ miles away crystal clear, while sitting a in valley surrounded by ridges with no boosting. I get amazing clarity with no drop outs on all but the worst weather days. You best bet is antennas for each TV, with quad shield RG6 home-runs to the wall outlet nearest each TV. I've got a combination of antennas from Antennas Direct, but would have tried one of Denny's had I found it earlier. Just be sure to get a good VHF model if some of your desired channels are broadcasted over that. It's a bear to receive where UHF is gravy. I'm using this one with great success, but not with a mast kit as described in the link. and for just UHF, these bow-tie models are great! If you're attempting to grab signal in the attic through radiant barrier or block/brick, forget it! Even the foil on HVAC flex duct wrecks it.

I'd suggest giving the DISM tools a chance to check and correct your Windows install.

Yep, I've been really happy with the Samsung products, but have been eying the more cost effective options. This one looks decent too. Thanks for the input!

There's a bunch of these I need to be doing, but the lazy side of me is winning the battle! https://www.fastcompany.com/90482591/stop-watching-netflix-and-tackle-these-8-tech-projects-instead
