Problems

[Krakerman]

Well I bought a new gaming PC with Windows 7 and I am trying to setup GameEx all over again and running into issues. My question is when I use the Valhala theme I setup say Atari 2600 emulator to use the ataribak image but it doesn't display it for some reason. Is there a place that enables and disables background images? I checked all over and I don't see it. Also I really wanted to use the Hybrid Blue - Widescreen theme but the every menu that has the letter A has some wierd white make in front of it. Like some letter that is cut off. any ideas?

To enable the custom background for an emulator, all that needs to be done is to select it in the Custom Background setting found in the Emulator Setup section. As far as the other issue, I have no clue since don't use that theme but hopefully someone who has experience with that will jump in.

Well I just installed an older version of GameEx and it works now. The newest version seems to be the problem.

Ok. Thanks for the input. Will do some testing and will let Tom know.

[Krakerman]

Yes I switched back to the latest version and it doesn't work again. The other thing happening as well is that when I am on the main menu it keeps showing under the icon a snap or avi of various emulators very wierd. it doesn't happen on my older verion which is btw 10.42. I'll stick with it until Tom can fix these gremlins.

I'm having the same background issue with my emulators too. None of them show when they are selected and enabled, even with different themes. Not a huge big deal but, it has been addressed.

This is fixed in 10.53. Available in about 10 minutes.

The avi/snap previews are a new feature introduced recently. Your saying you dont like it!?

Say whaaaaat?! I freakin love GameEx! Thanks Tom!

[Krakerman]

Yeah I don't like the snaps on the main menu only in each individual emulator is great !! Thanks for all the hard work on GameEx Tom as this is the best Frontend on the market in my opinion

UPDATE: 10.53 fixed the problem!! Thanks Tom

I,m using the Valhalla theme too and the latest changes does make the background change when you select an emulator, but when you return to the main screen it doesn't switch back to the base background. Anyone else have this problem?

[Krakerman]

Yeah same here. it switches back only if you slect and run a game then exit back to gameex and go back to the main menu then the background switches.

10.54 broke the snaps showing up again under the main menu like last game played ect all I want is just the icon to be displayed not the snap as well.

Like I said its not a bug, its a feature.

Anyone else opposed to this new feature. Let me know. Maybe I can add an option. Although Im always opposed to adding yet more configuration.

I'm not much for that feature as well but to each his/her own. I really agree with not adding another setting. We have enough as is.

[Krakerman]

Just adding and enable/disable option would be nice under the display would be nice Oh well for now I guess I'll go back to 10.42 since it doesn't do it with that version. I know this is off topic Tom, but can it be possible to change the font colors/size under each individual emulator? The reason I ask is because some of the emulator background images make it hard to see the fonts because they are white.

Could you add a bit more info as to why you dont like it?

[Krakerman]

Well under the last played is fine, but under most played and favorites it just looks wierd and it just displays random images. On 10.53 it didn't do that but with 10.54 it does. As I was also saying about the fonts if the only color you can use is white it makes using the background image almost unusable because alot of cool background images that are out there make it hard to see the white fonts.

[Tom Speirs]

OK, I see. It is a bug then. Sorry. Hopefully this should be fixed in 10.55 available in about 10 minutes.

Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers.

Tom.

The emu background issue should also be fixed.

[Krakerman]

Still having the snaps show up under Most played and favorites. The background images appear to be fixed.

It shouldnt show random images. It should show the snaps for the games you have under that menu. If its not doing that then its cached.
