GameEx 5.80 - Released

[Tom Speirs]

13th March  2006
- GameEx 5.80

• A ton of emulator databases
  are included with special thanks to Dave R.
  (AKA Incubus)
• I've also improved and fixed
  the parsing of the databases to fix where there's
  no date, and provided some built in formatting and
  cleaning of the description and category.
• See here for more information
  on database support, and how you can help: http://www.gameex.info/forums/index.php?showtopic=1228
• I have fixed the play random
  videos option, and also improved it so it now does
  a shuffle, instead of just randomly select files,
  meaning videos wont be played again until the list
  has been parsed. Been wanting to do that for a
  while, making this feature pretty good now in my
  opinion.
• GameEx now attempts to
  download and show box art for Videos when enabled.
• Something very cool, for
  folks running on good hardware. The 3D Transition
  (selected under display settings), have been
  greatly enhanced to give a very slick alpha blended
  3d effect when going between menus. Not many front ends
  do such things. Only one I know is Windows Media Centre.
  It makes GameEx look even more flash and very cool
  in my opinion, but don't even bother with it if
  you have less than P4 1.8GHZ and a Radeon 8000 (or
  equivalent).
• Fixes please wait animation
  still showing after GameEx start-up on
  unregistered versions.
• I've also upped the minimum
  requirements to a P3 700Mhz instead of 500Mhz.
  GameEx may run on less though, but I want people
  to know GameEx is really for newer systems.
• Improved loading speed of
  some menus including start page a lot.
