[RESOLVED] Which GameEx themes support GameEx database videos

[Scott Petty]

I have downloaded the new Mame database videos for GameEx from EmuMovies. When I go to Mame (or any other system menu in GameEx) all that I am given is a list of all of the games for Mame (or whatever other system I choose). I don't have the options to view By Name, By Category, By Publisher, etc. and thus I can't make use of the database videos or choose games based on these criteria. Is that a limitation of the theme that I'm using (Default- Default -New) or am I missing something? My config files are attached.

Thanks,

Scott

All themes should work. It sounds like you have "Simple Mode" turned on under display setting.

Hi Tom -

The interface mode under display settings is set to Normal. Any other ideas?

Thanks so much for your wonderful product. I'm a big fan :-)

Have you got the appropriate emulator database for the system selected. That is the other thing. Are any menus showing anywhere?

[Scott Petty]

I do have the appropriate databases selected for each emulator...

I do have the correct databases selected. I have menus for each game system (I have Mame under the emulated games list), but within each game system I just have one big list of the games available for that system.

Have you tried the default theme to see if the tabs show up?

Yes I did and no tabs on the default theme either

I am far from an expert in this but I did lose my tabs the other day when playing with the change view option. I fixed it by using the Reset Views application Tom posted in THIS THREAD.

Not sure if that will fix your issue but it is worth a shot.

I am also seeing multiple instances of the same choices in Setup Wizard. The usual list of choices will be repeated multiple times for many of the sections. This is all new since 13.22. I'm running 13.24 now. Both were installed automatically on startup. I downloaded GameEx 13.24 and installed it over my current GameEx installation. It gave me back the subcategories (list by name, year, publisher, etc.) for every system EXCEPT MAME. Still have the weird duplicate menu lists in Setup Wizard.

Something is really screwy. Any suggestions? I'm officially stuck...

Scott, could you please provide some examples of the duplicates? This will be a separate issue though.

[Tom Speirs]

PS: I can confirm I do see a few duplicates in the setup wizard too. I will get this fixed. Again though, it is a separate issue.

I have looked at your settings and Circo is correct. You need to change the view. Unfortunately it looks like you changed the option to disable the change view feature. So enable it and then change it.
