When browsing, I want a "list" of the games, not "tiles"

[wrd1972]

Hello,

When I run Gameex for MAME, when its time to browse and select games, I get graphical "tiles". They are arranged 3X wide by lots of rows deep. I just find it very cumbersome to find the desired game.

I would much prefer to have a simple list of the games, not the tiles. How can I do this?

Thanks

Bill

Care to post a screen shot?

I'm not using this particular theme of Draco's, but the selection menu appears in this same manner for me. Could just be the theme you're using.

Im using this vertical Galaga theme:

Even in the above snapshot, I see the list I want. On my current setup, I have game tiles instead.

If anyone could kindly load this theme and help me determine how to get the list, I would greatly appreciate it. Is there any chance that there is a setting in Gameex MAME settings?

Hi Bill, you will probably notice an option in the menu bar called Change View. You will need to click on this quite a few times to get it to display the list instead of the tiles.

I just loaded up some other themes and the tiles appear there as well. There has got to be a setting somewhere to either show list or tiles when browsing games. Help.

Thanks

Draco,

That worked. Thanks.

One more question.

When Gameex is booted, I would prefer it to start directly at the screen where you can browswe and select MAME games. Currently when Gameex is booted, I have to select from a single option in the middle of the screen called "All MAME games". It the proceeds to the browsing menu.

Is there a setting I can set that will allow it to boot directly to the MAME browsing menu?

Thanks

Are you running GameEx Lite? (Go to Start > All Programs > GameEx > Other Versions > GameEx Lite (MAME Only))? It's been a long time since I ran through GameEx Lite, so I can't quite remember if that gets you where you want to be (and I'm away from my gaming machine to verify). If you've not tried that, it's definitely worth a shot.

If you are already running through GameEx Lite, that's probably the closest you can get at the moment. Possibly a feature request?

Bill had noted in another thread that he is considering running a custom menu. If he runs the Lite version then he will not be able to use Custom Menus.

I am running Gameex...not lite. I will look at lite and see if that is what I need. Again I just want to boot Gameex and as soon as its loaded, be able to select games without selecting this and that first.

@Draco & null: Not to naysay you guys, but I am using Custom Menus and have more emulators set up than just MAME and when I use the GameEx_Lite.exe to start GameEx, my menus and options do not look any different..
