Well, I am trying to run multiple Xpadder profiles at the same time. I have 3 controllers plugged in so id have to run the profiles for all 3 controllers. My directory for Xpadder and profiles C:\Documents and settings\administrator\desktop\XPADDER

When you say that "Xpadder can launch a number of profiles simultaneously from the command line," I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

I'm trying to get Xpadder to work and I'm finding myself having trouble trying to get multiple controller profiles to load in GameEx at the same time. So now, my problem is, I have no idea how to code the .bat file. I know how to create a blank one in the text program but I do not know anything else from there. Any help with this would be appreciated.

With Xpadder, can i get GameEx to load different controller profiles when I load games? I'm trying to find solutions for some of my games that I cant get configured with Advanced Emulator Config. Such as 2 player ones.

Bizzar... it's working fine now. After the update it must have switched to advanced. And then when I ran simple after exiting, it was still advanced, but now when I try its fine. Not sure what happened but hey it works now.

It seems that after this last update, simple mode no longer works. I load it up, and it just seems like its the default GameEx. I have the menu bar that is supposed to go away when I run simple mode. (I believe it is 12.62, it's the version that I auto updated to)

I would have to warn, copy your theme before checking the custom emulator layouts. I had a problem with that corrupting my themes.

The most Ive ever had plugged into my system was 5. Let us know if you manage to pull this off. Logitek are good controllers. You probably could use PS3 controllers and just puck up a bluetooth reciever for your PC. I know that the PS3 can handle at least 6 controllers itself.

So here's a feature that would be really nice. We have Karaoke support. But as far as I can tell there is no microphone support for the Karaoke function in GameEx. It seems that I'd have to have an external program as a pass through. And the problem with that would be that the mic will allways be ON. So if Karaoke had mic support in GameEx, it would only work while Karaoke is on.

I brought my Artcade machine out to a Regional Burning Man Festival over the past weekend. Now I have done many events with my machine, but this was the first one that I went to with GameEx (with any front end program really). It was great. Everyone who played any of the Fan Games and a few other titles were blown away with how professional the machine looked and how everything was presented. I didn't seem like a computer in a box, and no one asked about that this time either. And then there was the magic party button. Karaoke. So I couldn't get a mic working before I went out there, and my dumb ass forgot the megaphone. So one morning I woke up, had a couple beers and put on the Karaoke. "I'm on a Boat" to be precice. Then to "Three Little Pigs." At this point I can hear people singing along from outside the walls of my big blue tent. Now I put on "Baby Got Back." One by one, heads started poking in from around the corner. We had them a beer and bring them in. Next thing you know, there are 20 people hanging out inside, all screaming at the Artcade Machine songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "I Saw the Sign," and "Under the Sea." Who needs a microphone when you have a chorus of drunks. Chorusoke! So, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped make and design this program. Also a thanks to everone that had helped me learn how to make my theme. It looked pretty spiffy. Within a few days or so I'll post some screens of my theme. But for now, see a couple pics of the camp.

FYI in the setup wizard you can download many of the emulators you may need.

Ok so here are the specifics of what I'm trying to do. The game is Not Tetris 2. The controls cannot be changed in program. It requires AWSD (directionals) GH (buttons 1 and 2) for player 1 and the arrows (directionals) and numpad 1 and 2 (button 1 and 2) for player 2. Now my setup has the arrows (directionals) and JK (buttons 1 and 2) for player 1 and CZVX (directionals) and AS (buttons 1 and 2) for player 2. As you can see A and S overlap as I described. So whenever player 1 pushes down (S) or left (A) it rotates player 2's pieces and does not move player 1's pieces down or left. I can't change my master or I will have to reprogram everything else. (Too much work) The Advanced Emulator Config only lets me program 1 controller to work for the game so that is not an option as I need 2 players.

So I have encountered a problem with the Remap Keys function in the Advanced Emulator Config. My problem is this. lets say I need to set the letter A as an S. A->S Now I need to set the letter S as a D. S->D The problem is that The Remap will make every D come out as an A. A->S->D The letter S is lost forever in the void and I still need it for a particular game. I'm really not sure if this a bug or I'm simply missing something. If this could be fixed I'd have no limit on what games I could put into the machine.

Theme editor is where you would do all of that. Find logos, and thats where you change them. It'll be in a column on the left hand side. There are also some video tutorials in the tutorials section about theme editor and Daphne.

i will say that Cool Kid inspired me to dance the robot by my arcade at Forgotten City lol.

1. Hope that helped.

I'm sure you'll do fine. It's just alot to take at first. Took me forever to do my first theme, took me 10 minutes to redo most of the work.

As long as it takes to learn how to do it. Once you know how something is done in theme editor then it becomes fast and easy.

Well it certainly seems like a feature I would like to use. So I would assume that his is a bug with the program if that feature simply corrupts themes.

I discovered the culprit! If I click the "Custom Emulator Layouts" in the options menu of the Theme Editor. It corrupts the theme file. Even after I uncheck it, the theme is corrupted and will no longer return from fan games (non emulator programs). Looks like I will have to rebuild my theme reguardless. I will also have to avoid checking the "Custom Emulator Layouts." What does that function do anyways?

Ok I just did that. I'm pretty sure it is not the update that caused the problem. Seems it is the theme that is corrupt somehow. What would be the cause for something like that? Right now I'm speculating that it involves adjusting the hue though the theme editor. Mainly because that's the thing I was doing around the time these problems started to occur. It also happened to coincide with the update. I also started changing all of the icons to custom sprites. But that shouldn't be the cause. Especially after what everyone here said about the error involving the background. So I tried changing all of the background pictures back to the non edited versions. And the problem still persists. I will try to make a new theme, and put all of the graphics I had before and see if that causes the problem again.

Well, if these are background image related, I do have custom start screen and emulator bgs. Furthermore, I used the theme editor to change the hue of those 2 bgs and the menu files. To reinstall 12.57, I just run the setup.exe file you provided and let it overwrite the files it needs to? And don't let GameEx update?

I dont think ALL of my fan games are corrupt. As this happens every time I close the games. Also my startup crashes keep happening too. These do only happen with my theme, and I really don't know what is causing it to happen and its becomming a bit frustrating. It also happens occasionally when I exit MAME games. It seems to be random (except for my fan games). Is there no way to save my theme?
