Finally figure it out. the Vectors.ini file needs to be edited with the mouse/spinner information.

Hi, I'm trying to get my Ultimarc SpinTrak spinner setup with Mame and Gameex. It is USB, and it is showing up and working as an X-Axis mouse, but none of the games (Tempest for instance) recognize it. I also have a USB trackball and it works fine in the games, missle command, golden T etc. I'm sure I'm missing some config thing, but after spending quite a while last night I can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated. -Fred

I need some help/opinions. I'm putting together my first CP, and since I didn't want to mess with the woodworking I bought the CP from North Coast Custom's. Got it over the weekend, and it is nicely built. It is the two player panel, and it had cutouts, for three joysticks. I believe there intention was two eight way joysticks, and a third four way in the middle. I put in one of the Ultimarc mag stick plus 4/8 way switchable sticks in the first player spot for testing, and I think I'll do the same for player two. My question/problem is, what do I do with the third joystick hole? Would it make sense to put in one of the Ultrastick 360 joysticks so I could have analog support? Would that work properly as a usb device, alont with two mechanical sticks? Is there another choice that would make more sense? Sorry if this isn't the correct place to post this question, I know it isn't a GameEx question, but I figured this is likely something a lot of you have had to consider. Thanks for any suggestions/feedback. -Fred

Got it! I'm running Windows 7, and apparantly I did not install th correct codec (geez!). Uninstalled and went back and installed the correct one. Thanks again for your help (or I guess thanks for your help again). -Fred

Yes, I installed the Shark007 codec. Videos play fine in Windoes Media Center (i.e. I double click on them, WMC comes up and they play). Here is my GamEx.ini file.

First thanks for the first round of help last night. I went ahead and registered, and paid for a sub to emumovies so I could start downloading snaps. But, now I can't get my videos to display... I'm downloading MP4 files, and my Video Snaps path is set correctly. I also downloaded and installed the codec that was linked in a similar thread. What am I missing? Thanks, Fred

Got it figured out. Thanks for the help!

I figured out 1. I found the rescan library option at the bottom of the GameEx main screen. The images I downloaded are all in one folder. assets\mame\titles That is the directory that config is pointing to for titles. Should the titles be a bunch of .png files? Thanks,

Ok, Please be gentle, this is all quite new to me. I'm working on trying to get GameEX configured and I'm having some issues. First, I am only getting 104 roms to show up in the Mame list, but I have significantly more than that. I have checked and I believe I have all the filtering, etc. turned off. Second. I downloaded the Titles using the Download Service Utility. I put them in the directory that setup says it is looking at Assets\Mame\Titles, but nothing is showing up... Any thoughts? Thanks for any help. Fred
