Simple interface theme,,,

[Mameadellic]

Hello all!!!

I am new here.

I am currently a Maximus user but thinking of converting. I like their (Maximus Arcade's) super simple interface and Love GameEx's flexability.

Is it possible to get GamEx looking and acting like Maximus? I tried setting it up but still got all the unnecessary/unneeded options that take away from a simple interface.

Any examples or tips?

THANKS!!!

What are you trying to do exactly? Are you trying to make the theme work like MA's, or are you simply trying to turn off things like DVD, karaoke, weather, etc? If you are trying to do the latter, then yes it is definitely possible. Try running the configuration wizard and using the search option to enter the items you want to disable. It should pop up a page or two that relate to your term. Then, simply turn off the feature. You could just go through all of the pages, but it might be easier to search. Good luck and welcome to the GameEx community!

maybe he would like the game launcher mode?

Thanks guys for your responses.

What I wanted to do was have only a few options like say Mame, nes, snes, etc... No multimedia, or the such just emulators.

For some reason I can't get rid of the multimedia option.

I really like game launcher mode but is it possible to get the video clips to play in a side screen instead of the full background? It gets kind of distracting.

Also does the game launcher mode support switching between different emulators or does it just support mame?

Thanks!

Ohh and I LOVE the way the gameEx launches the game vids immediately. In MA there is like a 5 second pause before the preview begins for each game. VERY annoying!

Like I said before, if you use the configuration wizard, you can enter search terms such as "weather" and it will pop up the correct page that contains the settings. As I recall, they are located in web aps or something. And yes, you can turn everything off so it just displays a background image if that's what you want

I don't know about Game Launcher mode, but in the standard mode, you can definitely have videos in a box rather than in the whole background. I can't remember where that setting is though. I think it's in display settings, but I could be wrong.
