Hi all! Previous GameEx user here, bought myself a one year registration a long time ago. Looking to get back into GameEx and contemplating buying a lifetime registration. I really dig GameEx and actually love jumping aroung the front-end discovering new MAME games almost as much as actually playing them. There is, however, one thing about GameEx that bugs me. Is it possible to turn off all of GameEx's online features, such as Weather, RSS, News, Forums etc.? The reason I want to turn these off is as follows: 1. When I turn on GameEx it takes about 5 minutes for all of these things to update before I can even begin browsing games. Major annoyance if I want to just have a quick go at Frogger. 2. I live in China, and I'm assuming that's why all of these updates and news feeds etc. take so long to load when I open GameEx. I don't mind doing a manual update every once in a while. But when I want to play a game I just want to play a game, don't care about all the other stuff. 3. If I want to know the weather I can just look out the window! Other than these minor gripes I'm really fond of GameEx and want to make it my front-end for gaming on my HTPC. Hope there's a way to turn off these online features. Many thanks in advance for your help!

So for your earlier feature request Draco, I went ahead and added the RSS Feed Editor to the Database Manager. If anyone would like to plug the feed into GameEx's already available RSS Reader, here's the URL: http://gameinfo.hfc-essentials.com/hiscore/HiScore.rss All that needs to be done to update this is to hit the UPDATE FEED button when the database is updated. Those fortunate enough to have access upload the new RSS feed in a few seconds (everything is generated in code). Now everyone can see the score table no matter what they're using. I hope people find it useful. Enjoy!
