mame intro movies

[katuuuz]

i know, i've seen and even downloaded the mame avis for gameex, but can't seem to relocate them. i don't have a "real" email account so i can't sign up at pleasure dome and i know they are there. (i have a gmail account). directing me to the bundle would be appreciated, or if you can't can you tell me about how big the bundle is unzipped? (i have exactly 4.77 gigs left).

thanks to the community.

well i finally got a hold of the intro movies, (from pleasure dome) and they work when i double click one in it's directory, but when i point game ex at it withing game ex config, i highlight a mame game in gameex and it's a black screen, and it sounds like the sound plays for a split second. any suggestions?

Have you got ffdshow codecs installed?

All the intro movies are made by this guy:

http://www.emumovies.com/order.html

he divies up his releases between pleasuredome and emuparadise (depending onthe system). He also takes roders for sending out DVD's.

And yea, Headkaze knows all about the ffdshow codecs - anytime someone has video problems, it's headkaze to the rescue!

It's a very common problem about the ffdshow codecs Luckily I don't get sick of saying the same things over and over

not sure what you mean by the codecs, like what to do after d/l.

Maybe Tom should consider adding the option to install ffdshow as part of the GameEx installation. Since it's apparent that everytime somebody new joins in the GameEx bliss, they almost certainly always have trouble getting them to work. Also, since GameEx now has a built in way to create your own video's through CreateSnaps, it only makes that much more since. Just a thought.

not sure what you mean by the codecs, like what to do after d/l.

1. Uninstall any codecs you have installed currently using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. These include codec packs you may have installed (Eg. K-Lite, Nimo) or any official DivX or Xvid codecs. This is a recommended step because codecs can conflict and cause problems with each other.

2. Download ffdshow and run the executable after it's downloaded.

3. Just go through the installer and leave the default options.

4. Reboot machine (not entirely necessary, but I say do it anyway)

What ffdshow is, basically, a codec pack (audio/video compressor/decompressor pack) containing many different formats including XVid, DivX, AVI, mpeg etc. etc. GameEx is known to support this codec pack. Using the incorrect codecs may result in undesirable results. For example, if you have video previews that are in DivX format and you have the official DivX codec installed from DivX.com, when GameEx goes to play the video, GameEx will minimize leaving you with a blank screen.

With ffdshow installed we can at least rule out one variable that may be causing video issues in GameEx.

It's a good idea, and I have added links to download ffdshow in the GameEx Setup Wizard (and I'm not sure about licensing issues by having ffdshow included with GameEx - that's something for Tom to decide), but the problem is when people have DivX or XVid codecs or some other codec pack installed. I think I'll leave it for now and just provide a link and perhaps a brief explaination as to what ffdshow is.
