ehuonder Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I would like to request a Custom Menu Item option that causes the menu displayed to jump back to the ROOT menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehuonder Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 @Stigzler - Thanks for the reply... In looking at the CustomMenu.ini file, I don't see a "Home" option:# The Item Types are as follows# -1= Submenu group. Goto other menu. Parameter = Menu number e.g Item=-1,Sub Menu 1,4 goes to [MENU_4].# - Will be listed in GameEx as "Sub Menu 1"# 0=MAME# 1=Emulator. Parameter = Emulator Nunber# 2=Application. Parameter = Application Number# 3=Web Application. Parameter = Web Application Number# 4=Theme Picker# 5=Start Screensaver# 6=Configuration Application# 7=Statistics# 8=Export To Mce# 9=Most Played# 10=Last Played# 11=Random Game# 12=Favorites# 13=All Games list# 14=News# 15=Search# 16=Exit# 17=Log Off# 18=Shut Down# 19=Hibernate# 20=Standby# 21=Restart# 22=Videos# 23=Play DVD# 24=Jukebox# 25=DVDs on Disk# 26=Radio# 27=Media Library# 28=eBooks# 29=Karaoke# 30=Pictures# 31=Daphne# 32=Emulator Group. Paramater = Group Number# 33=Blank LineI just pulled up the GameEx Custom Menu GUI and I see that there are more options after Blank Line that are not documented in the file. But even in there, I do not see a "Home" option. I'm on version 14.41, so if it's changed recently, that could be my problem.UPDATE: From the Custom Menu GUI, I would infer that:#34=YouTube#35=GameBase System#36=GameEx Arcade#37=Steam#38=Netflix#39=TV#40=Origin#41=Uplay#42=Movie Database#43=Weather#44=Live - Most Played#45=Live - Favorites#46=Highest RatedIf you were referring to the "Home" option on the menu versus the list, that doesn't really solve my problem. I need it selectable in the list, with my own text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebrand_X Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I was thinking seperate favorites lists would be a cool option, then I read in a different thread that this was the place to cast a vote for anticipated feature. Favorite Survival Horror, Sports games, 8-bit Classics, or whatever a user feels like classifying different Favorite games as. Or would a way to add custom 'tags' to Favorites accomplish something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinballX is a good example of this where different types of pinball games .xml files can be created however the individual wants for them to be ordered. Of course, to work within the integrated MAME support having something in a simpler format might be preferred, such as csv or tab delimited.

Vic Rattlehead Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'd very much like a custom tag system as well. It would enable you me to make categories like "Mega Drive Shoot 'em up's " and "Ancient Far East Setting" I have another wish as well. Currently in the old GameEx when you play a game in two different emulators, say Rush'n Attack in Nestopia and then another time in MESS it is counted as two different games with one instance of playing each. What would be neat was if it was counted a two instances of playing the same game for playing time statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YMokriy Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi. I wish to request a Steam list refresh feature based upon whether PC Steam games were recently installed or deleted, complete with capability to install or uninstall snaps, videos and descriptions along with the game. It would be pretty convenient for Steam users. I'm looking at showing off my Steam collection at a sci-fi con in a few weeks and it would be great if this feature were available. Thanks.

Draco1962 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 When GameEx updates the MAME list through the integrated support, and in possibly a few other areas, only the bak image is displayed. For themes using the foreground images to mask certain areas of the background this can look untidy or ugly. I would like to recommend either displaying both bak and foreground images ideally, but if not possible due to the displaying of the update footer to add an alternate back image and path that would display of the end user's choice. Examples of the background exposed and the normal display. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaredKFan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Instead of having to manually check each check box in the setup wizard for each emulator/platform you want, why can't there be a download all emulators for those who just want the whole thing?

Draco1962 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Online Radio Stations Feature request - Have the online radio stations load from an editable XML file. The schema would include: Station Number Station Name Station URL Genre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Not sure how hard coded this is, but it would be nice to be able to change the font in the theme editor for the RSS scroller, date, time, menu lists, and other text (besides the Title) each individually instead of them all changing when one is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Goodchild Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi everyone. Simple feature request I hope. Hadn't had this problem until I stated updating some artwork. In the future would it be possible under Advanced Emulator Setup in the Wizard, to increase the Custom Art Paths from 5 to 10? Thanks!

Draco1962 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Update Radio feature to read from an user editable .xml file of the radio listings with fields for Station ID/Name, URL, Category, Rating, Favorite indicator. This enhancement will allow the end user to create and manage their own Internet radio station lists, search by category or user defined ratings. Would also allow easier management of Favorites by indicating True or False. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonm Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 First off thanks thanks devs for a fantastic product. Certainly made my collections easier to manage and control. The big feature I'd like to see is Exodos support. I've got a huge DOS game collection in Exodos (which uses the MEAGRE frontend) but I've got no way of knowing how to transfer it over to GameEx.

Draco1962 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Enhancements Request for wheel menu introduced in v14.55: - Add additional "views" that allow for changing the size of the logo files viewed. Logos presently appear too small on large displays. This functionality already exists in the grid view. - Add options to integrated online services (Steam, Origin, Uplay) to display logo files in wheel view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I amend that to say also add the option to display logo files in grid view? As it stands currently, in grid view, all games have the Steam logo displayed.

RIP-Felix Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 If I can piggyback on this request train... Currently it spins in a C orientation, I need the mirror of that (EG, the right side of the pie instead of the left). It will work perfect with my theme, but it would be a lot of work if I have to redo all the artwork. I want to use this!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, you want it to flip orientation depending upon where the List is placed within a theme. So, if the List is on the left, then the wheel would appear as ) and if the List was on the right, the wheel would appear as ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebrand_X Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Is there a way, either via the theme editor or through the Setup Wizard, to choose which images are pulled in Grid View? Is there a way to choose to display boxart, cartridges, or title screens (personal favorite) with a simple setting? I've manipulated the 'logos' folders to demonstrate how it could look. Ideally it would be cool to make a combination of what shows up in the top-left box (video/snap), bottom-left box (logo/title screen), and in the Grid View (boxart, carts, title screen, logos, etc) as demonstrated by the Photoshopped screenshot featuring Castlevania: SOTN (attached below) This feature would be amazing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
