Changing/Deleting Menu Titles in GameEx

[sman26]

Currently running:

GameEx 11.51 and BlackGlass Theme

I read through the FAQ and saw this "You do this in the configuration application under Text/Language. NOTE: In order for it to work and have GameEx use this text, make sure you set the Language used to "CUSTOM"." where to go but was still not exactly clear how to ADD/REMOVE/MODIFY the text when GameEx first opens. I first see MAME, MOST PLAYED, EMULATED GAMES, FAVORITES, SEARCH, etc. Say I want to remove search. First off...how do I know which .ini in GameEx\Config folder that GameEx is using? I see a GameEx.default.ini and a Gameex.ini etc? Do I go into one of these and simply delete a line or add a line? Also when GameEx first opens it starts on the MOST PLAYED line item....how can I get it to start on MAME?

Also under the MAME menu item there are items like 4 player simultaneous/Live- MAWS/Light Gun, etc

Can I remove these extras as well?

Thank you for any help.

If you enjoy editing .ini files manually, you could make the changes to the GameEx.ini. HOWEVER, that's not necessary. In the GameEx folder of the Start menu, you should find an item for "Advanced Configuration". In that tool, you will find the Text/Language menu that's mentioned in the FAQ. As mentioned, make sure you set the language to "CUSTOM" when you have things set up the way you want.

If you're removing features that's a little more difficult than renaming them. You can find some of these in enable/disable features in the GameEx Advanced Configurator, including the extra MAME categories you listed.

Ahhhh...first change it to CUSTOM then the sequential pages will change then I will see all options to adjust.

Thanks a bunch...makes sense now.

Hey guys. Finally got around to messing with the Custom Menu Configuration by going to TEXT/LANGUAGE and enabling CUSTOM. I see where you can change what the menus are called but where can you eliminate certain menus all together. For instance if i DON'T want the MULTIMEDIA menu on the main menu or the LIVE-MAWS or LIGHTGUN GAMES under the MAME menu. I tried making the menu name blank but what that does it makes that not appear and also all the menus beneath it disappear as well.

Problem #2 I have it that everytime GameEx starts the menu that it lands on is MOST PLAYED first. I want it to start on the very top menu item which is MAME. Any suggestions?

I appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Shawn

You may want to look at the Custom Menus application that was part of your initial GameEx installation. Between that and enabling/disabling features through the Advanced Configuration app you can customize GameEx to your liking.
