Nyukki Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi all!Previous GameEx user here, bought myself a one year registration a long time ago. Looking to get back into GameEx and contemplating buying a lifetime registration. I really dig GameEx and actually love jumping aroung the front-end discovering new MAME games almost as much as actually playing them. There is, however, one thing about GameEx that bugs me. Is it possible to turn off all of GameEx's online features, such as Weather, RSS, News, Forums etc.? The reason I want to turn these off is as follows:1. When I turn on GameEx it takes about 5 minutes for all of these things to update before I can even begin browsing games. Major annoyance if I want to just have a quick go at Frogger.2. I live in China, and I'm assuming that's why all of these updates and news feeds etc. take so long to load when I open GameEx. I don't mind doing a manual update every once in a while. But when I want to play a game I just want to play a game, don't care about all the other stuff.3. If I want to know the weather I can just look out the window!Other than these minor gripes I'm really fond of GameEx and want to make it my front-end for gaming on my HTPC. Hope there's a way to turn off these online features.Many thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi Nyukki - Welcome to the GameEx forums! Most if not all of the features you mention are found via the Setup Wizard. Once you execute the Setup Wizard program, you can page through all the options available, use the Custom option to select key indexed areas if you have an idea of where they may be, or select Search and enter the keyword you are looking for. Most of the features you mentioned are in the HTPC / Multimedia section and can be enabled\disabled there. Radio is, under the Radio section, RSS is under the News Feeds section, and there are other things you may wish to disable or enable under Enable / Disable Features.
