external applications

[hunty3000]

hi, i tried everything to get this to work. my problem is im trying to launch stepmania from the external applications but it just goes black and then gameex just comes back on.

also how do i remove the screensaver and start mce or sumin off there, i carnt find it any where.

also where do i get the new lcd smartie plugin, and can i get it to launch on start up because i tried it b4 and couldent get it to work so now i carnt use instant sheller and i have to run them both from the windows start on startup thing.

thank you

Go in GameEx configuration & make sure you have show desktop on. This probably won't solve your problem but at least you'll be able to see in the future.

I'd check the shortcut you are using, make sure it works out of GameEx, then make sure you set the correct path & command line in GameEx.

Configuration => Enable/Disable Features. First page.

where do i get the new lcd smartie plugin

Have no clue what this is but I'd Google it.

can i get it to launch on start up because i tried it b4 and couldent get it to work

You'd have to set this up as an emulator to do that, or you can just have Windows launch it on startup, which would seem like the best way about remedying the problem.

hi ya, thanks for your reply,

i have already put show desktop and it does work outside of gameex but it still does not work.

the lcd smartie is a program by tom but he has updated it to regerserd users only.

and the lcd smartie wont load on windows startup if i use instant sheller wich is what i am trying to do. there is a option to run stuff on start up in gameex but gameex fail to load.

ill keep trying but any help would be apperacated (sorry carnt spell)

thank you

Here is my config for Stepmania. I used this on my PC, but on my cab I have it set as an emulator instead of a pc app. I'm not sure about your other problems. Hope this helps.
