It's too bad. If this software let me play my ROM collection with a controller on the living room big screen TV, I'd gladly pay the retail game price $55 for this software. With no extender support, and a glitchy PC GUI -- No thanks. Hopefully that will change in time.

Yo douche, the ROMS are 10 years old. Do you really think I could get Windows XP/Media Center 2005 on a 10 year old PC. What an idiot! They work fine in MAME. With Gamex, the free or boot back to the MCE main window for no reason. Also, the lack of extender support is worthless. Evening mentioning this works as a Media Center PC app is a complete waste. No media PC enthusiast would ever waste their time with this program.

Man, I dusted off my old MAME CD thinking it was time to play again. Gamex was such a hassle. The old MAME Windows 3.1 emulator from 10 years ago was so much more stable. Half of my ROMS didn't even play on Gamex. Even major ones like Galaga. Also, the fact Gamex admittedly doesn't work through an MCE extender is unacceptable i.e. XBOX 360 (see post here: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?sh...482&hl=xbox ) Why build a PC when a much cheaper XBOX works better in your living room? And no, streaming is not a problem since you can stream a freaking TV show. I'd much rather play the old classics with a controller than a keyboard (or buy an analog stick). I've installed NES emulators that work this way, so I don't know why this would be done with MAME. It seems weird this would be advertised for Media Center PCs. Who gives a crap about themes? The other features are already done better in Media PCs i.e. internet radio, photos. What does this program add that generic MAME and MCE 2005 don't do better? Some interesting 80s trivia perhaps. The old base emulator's GUI is so much better. Talk about a let down. Yes, I've already uninstalled it. I'm sure I'll be told "if you don't like it, don't use it". I absolutely won't be.
