Hello GameEx Staff , The following video will show you the bug. Please pay attention to the corners and the big update title in the marquee. GameEx_Arcade_All Arcade Games_60_60_ 2024-11-06 15-19-59.mp4 I am sorry for the big video, but it is needed to better visually see the bug. So what is happening here: We are in the MAME-Categories-submenu. A video was picked (via Theme-editor and the video-option menu) as background for the MAME-Categories-submenu shown here. The picked video contains all theme elements (arcade cab, menue, bars etc. BUT on a black background). If you now choose a category, then a video is shown that is related to this genre. This video uses image-field 1 from the theme editor and is set to full screen resolution. This video also contains all theme elements, but this time it has a genre related background included. So if you scroll through the list, the entire screen will change and adapt to the choosen genre. So far so good, but if you switch from one genre to another, then there is a time gap, that is filled with the video that we have chosen as the background for the MAME-Categories-submenu and here you will see that this background-video is slightly overscaled, probably just by only 1%, but it is noticeable. It is bigger then the image-field 1 video, which should not be the case. This is also bad for the image-quality of the video, as it is not shown in its native resolution. This results in a slightly blurred video, losing its sharpness and including artefacts. You can notice the degrading in carefully observing the area around the joysticks in the video. Summarize: There is something wrong in the theme-editor video-option menu and it has to do with scaling. Any video you choose here, will be displayed as a full size background, slightly overscaled and not in his native resolution. Any video that you set for the image-field in the theme editor, is properly displayed. If you set the image-field 1 properties to the native resolution of the video, then it is shown as this. Any questions? Feel free to ask . GameEx ini and log files attached. log.txt GameEx.ini

Hello gentlemen , As the topic title says, i want to change (or remove entirely) the naming of "by developer" in the main menue field. It is visible, when it comes to sorting the games, like by name, year, company etc. I already found this topic here: but this is "Genres" and not "by developer". Might work for "by developer" too, but i would need the exact wording / line of code, that i need to put into my .ini file. It also does not solve the problem, if i only want to change the naming of the option. I could not find it anywhere in "custom" texts. Here is a screenshot of my problem: Thanks for any help in advance, u-man

Hello gentlemen , As the title states, i have problems with formatted text inside the description field for MAME games. Many game descriptions have " ´´ ' ´` characters in their texts, but my description field is not able to showing them and shows """ , "'" etc. instead. This obviously makes the text barely readable and unnecessarily long. This is very annoying in my case, because i want to create a low-resolution theme and every single character is precious space. So for example " " will create TEN chracters, instead of two. Usually i would blame the used font, but my (custom) font has all these characters and they are also showing up properly for example in the game list. So there are no problems with games names or the two selection lines, that shows genres and developers etc. The problem appears only in the description field, that describe the game. The text for the description field is derived either from MAME.exe or from the history and mameinfo files and i guess something is going wrong here. I know it must be some font-coding thing, like ASCII, UTF, ISO coding for example, that creates these "errors". Is the text for the description field somewhere cached in the GameEx directories? So I could look into it. And there is one more thing, i would like to know. The description field usually truncates text that is to long, but there a lot games where it simply doesnt truncate and I end up with text that uses 5,6,7 lines instead of a maximum of four lines. So what factor decides to truncate a text or not? Or is this a random thing? Thanks for any help in advance, u-man

I use a desktop resolution of 1280X960 on a CRT for Gameex I use the wheel view as you can see in my screens. To have a good looking wheel, the list take the entire height and has an horizontal offset ( the list exceeds the screen width so a part is non visible) . I do this because otherwise the wheel takes half of the screen width For me it's really looking nice, but when i enter in the game page, the list take the entire height too and i can't see the entire lines of the game info, as a part is truncated because of the offset. So my question is : Can we make two different layouts for game list and for game menu with the same emulator page ? I just see one .ini wich is "NEC TurboGrafx 16.ini" Perhaps can we do a "_gameinfo.ini " ? Thanks

Hi there! I already have a custom theme for my arcade classics' cabinet, but with so many systems... mame, pinball, nes, snes, n64, master system, genesis, psx... I realized I mostly use MAME on it, so I was thinking about making a new custom theme... But I don't know how. I would like to only support game, and load mame's games on startup. The interface should have game's marquee on the top, game list on the left, game preview video on the right. How can I make the marquee appears for each game? I mean I can use two image boxes, but how can I choose what's displayed on each?

Hello! I just discovered a bug in the way themes are handled. When using Custom Module Layouts without using Custom Emulator Layouts each emulator screen uses the Emulator Select Layout, not the Emulator Layout (in other words, it uses emulatorselect_module.ini instead of emu_module.ini). This is problematic for me, since I want to always display videos in a specific place, and the emulator select screen puts videos in the Image2 position whereas emulators put the video in the Image position. I've attached my Theme.ini in case it is useful. -
Hey guys, this should be a simple one. I searched, but either I missed the answer or I don't know how to word the question. I want to change the opening GameEx logo and sound, but I'm not sure how to go about that exactly. I know there's an image and sound bite it's calling somewhere within the theme folder, but I'm not sure of the location. Also, I'm not sure what are the parameters of the logo and sound, such as the file container, length, etc. Thanks in advance!

I feel pretty stupid about having to ask this, but where is the theme editor. I checked the GameEx file, the downloads and the forums and I'm not having much luck. Sorry to ask this, I feel like I should've been able to find it....

Hi all, Also in the creation of my future theme for GameEx, codenamed "eXion" I discovered a new problem with Theme Editor. I'll try to be as clear as possible. First here are some screenshots : This is the start menu, it is composed of a transparent background and a foreground component (StarBak.png and StartBak_Foreground.png in MEDIA folder of theme) When I go to the Console menu, everything is ok. When I go to the menu NES console, it retains the StartBak_Foreground.png Background on the NES Also attached background NES only in case So I create a foreground for the menu for the NES component is larger to cover the game list (Theme_Background_Nintendo NES_Foreground.png in MEDIA folder of theme). And the problem is that the component appears superimposed transparent layers with transparent pane StartBak_Foreground.png So I tried with a non-transparent foreground, only the logo and everything works, the StartBak_Foreground.png no longer appears. Yet it works with MAME menu. The transition between the menu and menu selection of games is ok (Bak_Foreground.png in MEDIA folder) My only solution for the NES menu is to make a transparent background incorporating pane, but I find it a pity for the further development of my theme. Like that : A solution? Thank you for read (and understood) myg =)

Hi Folks ! I've running into some trouble using the Theme Editor. I'm building a new theme, wich basicaly will use two custom layouts. One for all the emulators, and one for the other GameEx sections, like music, videos, pictures etc. The problem is, when I mark in the theme editor the option "Custom Emulator Layouts" or the option "Custom Module Layouts" GameEx starts messed up. So, If for example, if I mark "Custom Emulator Layouts" the emulator section (snes in the case) became all messed up. But as soon I uncheck it, the layout return to its normal behavior. The same happens with I check the option "Custom Module Layouts" , the start page, even after I adjust it in theme editor, cames all messed up within GameEx. I've saw that theme editor create in the theme directory lots of *.ini files, when I check those options. each ini file is for a section within GameEx, and I've checked the files and theme editor, and the coordinates are equal. So theme editor saves the ini files correctly. Anybody can help ? Thanks in advance! Attached some screenshots. Theme Editor Screens : Theme running within GameEx :
