More compliments and questions

First off... man, I gotta tell ya. I built my first cabinet 8 years ago, and all that time, I've tried and tried to find an front end that will handle it all.

Well... wow!!! GameEx keeps suprizing me left and right. It's fantastic! All the videos running, the choice of emulators, the look and feel... the info, the pics, snaps, titles, boxes... all of it. Perfect in everyway.

Now... can someone help me to get JNES and ZSNES to work? All I get is a blank screen.

If you need anything to look at, let me know and I will post it. All I did was leave everything on default, pointed it at my location and rom folders, and changed the ini file for ZSNES as per that tutorial (so it will return to the GameEx menu)

Thanks in advance,

Try setting "show desktop" to "true"... otherwise yeah, post your config.

Cool, that was it. However, the JNES now comes up on the desktop, I then have to manually open the file and run it. ZSNES is working perfectly.

Do you use your keyboard mappings to control theses emus, or do you have something hooked up to use the original NES/SNES controllers?

Thanks,

Sorry, I use nestopia... Maybe someone else can help you with JNES.

I'm not bragging, this is actually dumb to admit...

I have 47 emulators running through Gameex, and I haven't mapped ANY (except Mame, and Mame compatible) of them, so I can't play the games on my cab. Maybe I should work on that?

First off... You shouldn't be having a problem with ZSNES having to show the desktop if it's configured to run properly. I use VirtuaNES for my NES needs so I won't be much help on JNES.

I'd like to have a look at your config file, maybe we can solve these problems. My guess is that you didn't set these emus to run in full screen from the emulator INIs, as that usually solves the 'show desktop' issues. Typically I use the emulator's GUIs to do this prior to running them in GameEx. That way you can map your controllers, set your paths and resolutions, etc prior to any GameEx intervention.

Thanks for the help fellas... this is exactly what I am looking for. I am still working my way into the emulators, trying to learn the in's and out's of each of them, and getting the right combination that work the best. I'll try the VirtuaNES and see how that works. JNES is OK, but I think it's a little off on the colors and sound.

Also, that PSX to PC is what I am looking for. I have a Classic Game Controller that at one time the designer of Nostalgia, Joe Fisher, made. It was designed to work with Intellivision controller and works great. Being able to use the original controllers adds another level of fun to any emulator.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'm having more fun with my cabinet now then I've had the previous 7 years.
