GameEx Game Cards

[Adultery]

Tom:

I hadn't gotten my gamercard for a couple days now. I went and typed in my email to have it resend and I noticed: The email it has me under doesn't fit in the required space (it allows for 25 char when I actually need 27), so it sends to hfc-essentials.n instead of hfc-essentials.net! Any way I can change the email address associated with the gamer tag, since this tag is now linked to a bunk email address? I have a shorter one if need be.

Thanks for your help.

[Tom Speirs]

Fixed now. Yourll need to sign up again.

No matter what address I use, it seems to stop me at hfc-essentials.n ... I even used my junk mail box as my email and it still won't let me do anything past that n, but I guess both addresses are over 25 chars. Unfortunately, even though I noticed before I hit enter, I tried signing up with my hotmail account this time and it says:

"A game card with this user id already exists. Please choose a different user id"

Maybe just reset my ID entirely and I can move it over to my hotmail account? I can type that whole thing into the box.

.:EDIT: Did you change the char restriction on the password box instead of the email address box? I can use my third email because it's 4 chars less. Just can't get signed up unless I use a different ID entirely since mine is linked to [email protected] instead.

Yes, changed the password box by mistake. Should be good now, and I updated your email address in the dbase.

Cheers.

Thanks a bunch!

Love the feature by the way. Can't wait to update all my forum sigs!

Too bad I don't post on any other forum pretty much.

Any idea why the screen shot in my gamertag does not match up with the game I last played?

FYI: I did play Missile Command before Centepede.

[Robert]

I have the same problem with the image not matching the last game played:

[Adultery]

I'm actually not getting pictures at all sadly...

Any suggestions?

[Schizoid2k]

I guess I should give more detail since my tag is changing.

First time: Last Played = Centipede, but Missile Command graphi was showing.

Second time: Last Played = Breakout, but no graphic was displayed.

Is there something I need to do to make this work correctly? I love this feature!

You have one now for Yoshi's Island.

[Ninja Rygar]

I don't know what I did, but mine is working fine. And if you catch a glimpse of it, you know I use GameEx to play games alot. It changes quite frequently.

[Tom Speirs]

For thosr who its not working for, can you post your logs please. Also do you have show game information enabled?

[Adultery]

The image only doesn't show up for me if its a MAME game. Emulators work fine.

Maybe that will help isolate the issue?

As you can see, I tried Galaga '88 and the Yoshi's Island pic is still up. It is completely a MAME issue, possibly only for those who use a special compiled build? Can anyone using vanilla MAME confirm that?

.:EDIT:. The two people using MAME last are confirming this issue for me if you scroll up.

[Tempest]

Mine doesn't have an image. Mame custom compiled. I only ran GameEx the one time though...

[Adultery]

Appears to be working now after latest GameEx update. Thanks Tom!!

Not sure what I did, but your welcome!

[Tom Speirs]

Ive renamed this topic as I want it to be all about the new gamecard feature. Id also really like to see your Game cards, so please post 'em.

Thanks.

Tom.

Hmmm.... Yours still sayd Galaga, with apic of Yoshi's Island???

[Tom Speirs]

It seems to be ok. Might need to refresh Matt.

[Tempest]

I was talking about Adultery's card....

[Tom Speirs]

Yeah, and its showing Galaga for me.

[bkenobi]

Just a suggestion... Perhaps you could make the game selectable in the card so that if you see a game you aren't familiar with, it will link you to gamesdbase.com (or another site if you chose)?

[Ninja Rygar]

Uh-oh, mine's all screwed up for some reason. I did play both of those games recently, they just don't match.

[Tom Speirs]

It might be because I restarted the web server a couple of times.
