hansolo77 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hey all;Before I venture into setting up some of my systems, I noted that a lot of my PC games are in a Gamebase. I remember some time ago, the only real way to make these work was to either rip out all the games and associated art and point GX to them directly, or to load up an External Application that launches the Gamebase application separately and then you have to use your mouse to select the game to play. I saw there is a GameBase section in the setup wizard, and Tom has been actively working on disabling the ESCAPE key from exiting the Gamebase applications. So my question is.. how does all this come in to play now with the latest versions of GX? Has the implementation advanced to the point yet where it just recognizes the games directly without needing to externally launch the Gamebase front end? What's the best way to set all this up?

Adultery Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 GameBase is fully integrated now, and launches via cmd line. As long as it's set up properly outside of GameEx, you shouldn't have any problems. The artwork is actually inside the GDB structure, so there should be no need to point GameEx at it AFAIK.

hansolo77 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 So if I install the GameBase software, and then add the necessary settings for the given database I'm using, then GameEx will just list each game and it's artwork directly?
