NEWS: GameEx 6.13 Released

[Tom Speirs]

20th May, 2006 - GameEx 6.13

When viewing a picture in the pictures module, you can now navigate to next and previous pictures by pressing the arrow keys

GameEx will now dynamically rotate the display when the TAB key is pressed (assuming not running windowed and resolution is low enough)

GameEx will not automatically filter the list for Vertical only games when rotated, but use the Show Horiz/Vert setting in the config to decide. There's now an additional option to make this automatic based on the orientation of the display

New menu option to launch the Screensaver at any time

A much requested feature - the ability to navigate jukebox tracks backwards and forwards when the screensaver is running

Fixes some themes crashing when launching a game or upating the list

Fixes possible crash and other issues when using a custom video or image background for an emulator

Fixes More Games & Programs not showing in recent versions for some users

Brilliant. Thanks very much for the new update with the vertical filter switched off. Cheers Tom

This may cause some problems... [TAB] is also the key used to reset the Sega Genesis when running the Gens emulator. Other than that, I can't wait to try out the new version!

No it shouldn't, its only when GameEx is active, not when emulators are running.

About the "New menu option to launch the Screensaver at any time", I pressed my coin button (with the screensaver started manually of course) and the screensaver exited. Isn't it supposed to work like the timed attract mode that you can play games if you insert coins?

Yes, it is and its working fine for me. Maybe it's the timing, and you pressed it too soon or too late. Is it consistently doing it?

[emphatic]

I've only had time to test it once. Will try it again and report back. It didn't exit right away, but after about 5 seconds after I pressed coin 1.

Emph, i always had that problem too.

Try pressing the button which is mapped to button 5 in mame. I found that pressing it a couple o'times before inserting a coin stops the screensaver from exiting. It might do the trick for you.
