Adultery Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Did I miss the question about my Game Info plugin that was mentioned in the title?
hansolo77 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Did I miss the question about my Game Info plugin that was mentioned in the title?I was wondering the same thing
phenix29au Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 no no i edited my post not realising tempest had changed the title regarding gameinfo. its all good i fixed it myself it wasnt the plugin turns out, it was the gameextender feature i turned off custom images not realising . thankyou tho
phenix29au Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 great plugin Adultery. Makes the 2nd screen look alot better with the game info while i play. My missus doesn't have to ask me what im playing no more lol
Adultery Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Awesome! Glad to be of service. Take note that you can customize all the visual elements of it to match your theme too. If you need any help or have any questions, let me know.Thanks for using it! 1
phenix29au Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 oh.....i guess someone else seen my later post n changed it for the game info. sorry tempest i thought u did while editing my original post. my appologies
Draco1962 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I change the title based upon the OP originally noting an issue with Game Info which appears to have been edited/deleted from his post.
phenix29au Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 ahh yes draco sorry guys. at the time of typing i was having issue. but after entering i went back to it and tweaked a little and fixed it myself, so instead of double posting as i know most forums have that rule i just re edited my original post and left a note to say its fixed, not realising the title of my post was changed lol. my appologies
stigzler Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Welcome Phenix and good work on yer setup. Guys here have been great in helping getting emus working so ask away! I'll try and dib in where I can - I know the PCSX2 setup was a bit of a mare for me, but more around hardware really.And, whoa! A missus that not only has no issue with you being a thumb bandit, but one that's interested in what you're playing! I'm movin to Oz! 1
phenix29au Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 lol cheers stigzler. yeah im a rare gem in that remarks, my missus, loves playing games just as much as i do. when i told her about this and what it does she was excited and couldnt wait to see it in action. with how much i have done so far shes really impressed and wants to do one for herself just with what she has lol certainly makes it easier to be a gamer in a relationship with someone who understands and doesnt try and make ya get off the ol games lol the ps2 i had a lil bit of trouble, but i searched thru the forums and thanks to the plugin for dtools, works beautifully. just a pain to keep changing the game settings based on glitches or performance issues but oh well. the pcsx2 team have come such a long way one day they will perfect this emulator.
stigzler Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Try:Pcsx2 LunchPcsx2 Bonus(both on pcsx2 forum)whilst not perfect - make per-game settings a lot easier. Former seems to have stopped development - latter being continuously developed (presently asking for batch .exe file generation!)
phenix29au Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 awesome, thanks for that i will check that out soon as i finish resorting out these covers names
