Working on a GameEx getting started doc, demystify for the newbie

[stryker]

Congrats on the cab... I'm still working on restoring the old cab I bought, tis all fun!

Nice catch with emumovies, looks like I missed adding the details in the setup wizard, I'll do that now thanks.

Stryker,

I thought I would just chime in and thank you for what you are doing!

[stryker]

many thanks... I think its about right for smartening up and thats about it... I'm always open to any more content for the hints and tips section tho!

Added an addendum to the backup section, These days I find it simpler to simply follow three rules then backup the entire GameEx and Emulator folders... better safe than sorry ;-)

Agreed about backups! I work in IT and I have to admit to being a bit remiss myself, despite hearing the anguish from those when I tell them I cannot recover their hard work because they didn't follow those simple steps!

Its the hours and hours of my time!! if I lost it I'd not want to do it again!! Even following my current backup method I'm looking at hours of restoration... I'm tempted to look at the various windows bare metal recovery options.... I work primarily in Linux, have done for over 10 years so my windows is a little rusty

please make this thread a sticky....

right at the moment, i see it going down into the trillions of meaningless posts .

[stryker]

I'd previously mentioned I'm happy for whomever is responsible for site content or the forums to take the doc and incorporate it/edit it in any way they'd choose.

I pinned it, and moved it to the pinned and hot topics forum.

This makes my 4000th post!

Excellent.... its about time I start making the time to swing by here more often, think I'm finally going to have some free time now I've got a lot of work stuff out the way

I wanted to download the 3d cabinets but the link in the guide does not work. I've looked on this site but can't find them.

--------------From the guide-------------

1) Go to the GameEx website and download the 3D arcade cabinet models zip file.

Where can I download these?

Thanks
