hi Brian sry

in the advanced config their are 2 game extender options

Game Extender

and Game Extender Viewer

they both want IP addresses and ports....

do i put my IP address in both of them?

what about port? how do i find out what my port is?

thx...!!!

i tried to put my IP in and i get the same error message

another thing....in the "game extender" options their a box for IP...but its a drop down box with only 2 IP's. Which do i pick?

and in the "game extender viewer" options i was able to type in my IP address.....is that what im supposed to do?

im not sure how to set up this game extender thing

You should use the drop down list to select the IP Address for the GameExtender Server. In most cases this will be the first one in the list (Eg. 127.0.0.1). This means your local machine in running as the server. Then for the GameExtender Viewer just put in this same IP address (ie. 127.0.0.1 which is localhost). Just leave the default ports and make sure they match and you should be okay. Don't forget to turn on "Publish to Server" and "Enable GameExtender". To test it's working you can put http://127.0.0.1:8383 in your browser when GameEx is running to test it's working.

Hi guys,

Is there a way to control what the game extender shows? Like if i play a MAME game it "only" shows the MARQUEE? I dont want it to rotate thru different screens.....like the gameex statistics from popping up...id like to disable that from showing up...i have it set to "no" in my advanced config already

And if i play Visual pinball it "only" shows the Backglass artwork? (i have VP set up in advanced config pointing to a folder that has all VP table backglasses.....ive had them from since forever from 3D arcade)

thx!!!

Felt like resurrecting an old post since it was referenced. This is now possible with latest version
