Getting started - let the fun begin!

Hello,

Have nearly finished building a NES PC and have just discovered the fonrt end of the whole thing!

I've had a play around with a fair bit of it and I love what I see!!

The configuration of the whole program seems endless!!.

I've had a few issues and can't figure out what's going on so thought someone here might be able to help!

I'm wanting to setup custom menus to display a lot less than the 50 items I currently have on my home page of GameEx.

After playing around with the 'Custom Menus' I donated / obtained a reg key for GameEx to allow me to enable them.

I can now select the 'Enable Custom Menus' checkbox however I can not view the custom menus I create within GameEx itself ...

This may to related to the issue I have of GameEx still launching the "DONATE TO REMOVE THIS" messageI receive half of the time I open GameEx...

I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling / deploying the reg file / rebooting but still get the same thing ...

Don't know!!

Also, I have an issue where half of the time I start GameEx, it automatically launches a video from the video archive! Pretty sure it's the same file as well..

I've posted my GameEx.ini and CustomMenus.ini if they will help out.

I emailed Tom regarding the "DONATE TO REMOVE THIS" message so hopefully that will get resolved soon and also resolve the custom menus issue.

Just thought I'd post incase it's something I'm doing... And about the automatic video start as well...

Cheers people!

I dont see the ini files. It does sound to me that there is some sort of problem where GameEx is not recognising that you have the registration, hence why your custom menus wont show up.

FYI, in your setup wizard, I believe its under tweeks and performance. (or one of the last options) you can turn off alot of those extra features you dont like.

Oh yeah:

GameEx.ini

CustomMenu.ini

Yeah, sorry - forgot to upload! Can't see anything under tweeks and performance .. I hope it's just as easy as sorting out the registration issue.

Someone was saying something about Vanilla GameEx menus as well but I couldn't find any information about it.

Is it just another app to use custom menus? Does anyone know where I can get it from?

[Tom Speirs]

I can help you with your reigstration issue. Although I have seen no email from you.

Thanks.

Tom.

Do you maybe have GameEx installed in two places on your hdd? That would explain the reg issue and the custom menus one.

I've seen it happen where a user changes the install location and the registry doesn't get updated.

[KeNnO]

Thanks Tom, some help would be appreciated.

What details do you need from me?

Both times I installed GameEx, I installed it to the default directory C:\GameEx by memory

[Draco1962]

Assuming you are using XP, look under C:\Program Files\ for another GameEx directory (if Vista or Win 7 64-bit, may be under C:\Program Files (x86)\ ).

[KeNnO]

Running Windows 7, nothing in C:\Program Files (x86) (or Program Files)

I can see in my registry that my licensing and email have been entered into:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GameEx]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GameEx]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GameEx]

However, [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GameEx] doesn't!

The Wow6432Node directory doesn't exist..

Under HKEY_USERS the Wow6432Node directory exists but GameEx isn't in there ...

Would this be the problem? And anything to do with being on an offline domain with a roaming profile?

[KeNnO]

I left the domain and joined a workgroup - [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GameEx] now exists and has GameEx license / email keys associated with it but still get the unregistered screen and my videos are still playing once it does load, then when double clicking on it the default GameEx startup happens... :S

Hi Ryan,

Ive replied to your email now. Lets take this offline.

Cheers.
