For some reason, it's not launching from the Repository Manager, but it does from the old plugin manager. Try:

Download below. Unzip. Place in the root GameEx folder. Run. Try configure from there...

PluginManager.7z

Did you try this?

**Evilforces** · December 10, 2016

Hi Stigzler!!

It works from older plugin manager!!

Thanks!!

**stigzler** · December 11, 2016

Glad it works. I've messaged headkaze about the disparity.

**stigzler** · December 12, 2016

V1.2.0 - "I'm having so much fun, I nearly wet 'em" edition.

1.2.0
Added feature to allow you to choose install folder for the CustomLists root
Can also choose the image for the Root customlist
Added picture viewer
Added ability to change default icons
Tightned up the browser at bottom left
Cleaned up the CustomMenu.ini production. No more sloppy keys
Added functioning URL facility. Now you choose from the html applicaitons setup in GameEx Setup Wizard.
Changed code to enable config launch via Repository Manager (thanks headkaze)

Also did some new vids, see 1st post for these.

Big thanks to Headkaze for squashing a tiny bug I never would have found.

**stigzler** · December 12, 2016

@Evilforces - You can now run it from Repository Manager, too.

Stigzler,

Your plugin is awesome. I think that it will be able to get me to where I would like to see my arcade cab going. I do have some questions, if you wouldn't mind.

1) I was messing around with the program and I managed to get Intellivision on my startup directory and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of it. It is not listed as one of the items when I launch custom menu. I tried to restart from scratch with your plugin but have had no luck. Can you tell what I am doing wrong?

2) Your plugin only shows a few of the games that I have on my cab. Is there a filter that I am missing somewhere that shows everything. Right now it just looks like it is showing games that I have played. Ultimately I would like to create lists under each system with my favorite games.

Thanks,
Jim

**stigzler** · July 18, 2017

Thanks Jim. Your first issue: known one that's going going to take some really coding. On my list to do...

On your second issue, you first add the game you want on a list to your favourites in game ex. Then the game should show up on the list..

You can't do a list under each system. It works on a nested folder/list basis and you have to choose a location for your 'root folder.' You can of course have a subfolder for each system...

**jimdeprado** · July 18, 2017

stigler,

Thanks! I appreciate any help. I wish I was a better coder so I could help. I have started to look at the plugin development posts, but most of it is way over my head. Is there a way to just reset everything back to way I had it originally (and remove the extra menu items)?

Jim

**stigzler** · July 18, 2017

If you mean how do you remove the Custom Lists generated menus:

Click "GEEditor" Select your custom lists root folder (in this instance, "Collections") and then click "Delete Item/Menu"

**jimdeprado** · July 19, 2017

Thanks, but when I click on "GEEditor", I get what I expect to see and not what is actually being displayed. Sorry, I dont know how to insert pics like you did above.

File 20-23-41 is a pic of what displays when I open GameEx.

File 20-26-40 is a screengrab of my Custom Menus.

Thank you in advance and sorry for being a pain!

Just screen grab a png via Screenshot Captor + then drag + drop them onto the bottom bar of the Post Reply box (the one you're typing into). Yer gonna have to lear how to sreenshot + post if yer gonna get anywhere in this hobby!

Then I'll take a look.

**jimdeprado** · July 25, 2017

Thanks! I tried dragging the png files into this space, but nothing happened. I can upload the files as I would normally. Here are the files. The first one of the menu I see when I open GameEx. The second is my CustomMenuEditor Screen.

Thanks,

Jim

**stigzler** · July 25, 2017

OK. Post your GameEx>Config>CustomMenu.ini

I'll take a look see if I can get rid of that Intellivision for you - that's what you're wanting to do?

Apols, but bit busy with other projects at the moment, but CustomLists is at the top of my coding to-do list.

**jimdeprado** · July 27, 2017

stigzler,

No worries about anything. I am thankful for your help with this.

Thanks. I've attached my cutommenu.ini file. There is also another "Consoles" under Computers and a "TRS-80 Color Computer" under Admin that don't belong.

There are 2 custommenu.ini files. One is in Config and the other is in Plugins. The one below is in config.

I appreciate your help!

Jim

CustomMenu.ini

**jimdeprado** · July 27, 2017

stigzler,

I managed to remove the items I wanted. I deleted my custommenu.ini file, opened up CustomMenuEditor and created a new one. I don't why it happened or how the custom menus were not in sync with my custommenu.ini file, but things seem to be working now.

Thanks,

Jim

**stigzler** · July 27, 2017

Oh yeah, that was your other option, but didn't think you'd want to undo all your work on your setup!

Will tackle the probs as soon as I can

**stigzler** · July 27, 2017

Update:

1.3.0
BugFixes: Debug Window; GEData loads
CustomMenu.ini now sorted by Section and Key
CustomMenu.ini now has original header text preserved

@jimdeprado - give this one a go....

**John Simon** · March 7, 2020

Does this plugin work well with gamebase entries in the favorites list. I am getting some odd behavior where loading the list causes the screen goes black for a long time and then the list is empty.

**Draco1962** · March 7, 2020

Since it leverages GameEx's Favorites functionality to build the custom lists, I believe that you will run into the same issue discussed here..

**stefano.rabaglio** · July 17, 2020

Dear, I have download the plugin. I use windows 10 with Gameex Arcade Edition.

I lunch the plugin configure but I have no rom in list. If I check "GE Editor" I receive this error: I have no game in list

Install the 32 bit version of GameEx. This plugin is also not for Arcade Edition.

I was trying to look at trying this Custom Lists plugin, but it fails when I try and configure it.

I'm running GameEx 16.60 on Windows 10. I did NOT check the install 64-bit option during the install, so I think it should be running the 32-bit version. This is a test machine, so it's basically the default demo files/emulators for GameEx. I added 3 of the games to my favorites. I used the Repository Manager to download the plugin. Then I used the Setup Wizard to try and Setup Plugins. When I select the CustomLists plugin and press the Configure button, I get:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. Cannot find column RomFile.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

If I select Continue, the CustomLists - 1.3.0 GUI is accessible, but no favorites are listed as in the demo video... The Plugin's log file, CustomLists.log indicates:

ERROR @ IMPORTING GE DATA: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite, Version=1.0.101.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db937bc2d44ff139' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

It also indicated above this ERROR that the /PLUGINS/SQLite.Interop.dll exists...

I've attached the CustomLists.log, my GameEx log.txt, and my GameEx.ini. I also tried to install this on my WinXP cabinet with the same results, but thought that this simple GameEx setup would be easier to debug...

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Thanks.
