Hi everyone.

I just have a couple quick questions about GameExtender:

1) I noticed the box that says GameExtender Constants. What is this for exactly?

2) If I use a static image for a game or system, does GameExtender still refresh? If so why? Like, when I select SNES can it be made so it displays the SNES static image I chose? If not...

3)Does GameExtender change the pic based on action? Like does it exit the emu and change the pic? Better yet, can I use a static image in the menu screen instead of having it pop up a random image I happened to be on when the refresh time recycled?

4) Does GameExtender get disabled when I use a multi-screen emu like Future Pinball?

5)Can I do a static image for MAME too? I didn't see the option anywhere. How about for the screen saver? It would be cool if I could show some type of image there, or better yet, have it show the static images I set up for whichever emu it's launching? Or maybe a snap with the time, weather, or even hi-scores and gameex stats?

It seems to be less problematic than MM for the time being (for some reason some crazy stuff was happening when I used it). It only needs a little minor tweaking to make it work even better. It's really showing it's grace since you made the improvements to it. :)

Thanks for the advice! ;)

PS: Tom, you spelled GameExtender wrong in the Help box for GameExtender Constants.

Answering some of my own questions is cool!

2) If I use a static image for a game or system, does GameExtender still refresh? If so why? Like, when I select SNES can it be made so it displays the SNES static image I chose? If not...

It doesn't seem to. It displays the specified image as per system menu, which is great. :)

3)Does GameExtender change the pic based on action? Like does it exit the emu and change the pic?

It does! :)

4) Does GameExtender get disabled when I use a multi-screen emu like Future Pinball?

It doesn't get disabled, but for games like VPinMAME I can use the secondary images right over top of the snap it displays. This makes me assume that it's still running in the BG.

5)Can I do a static image for MAME too? I didn't see the option anywhere. How about for the screen saver? It would be cool if I could show some type of image there, or better yet, have it show the static images I set up for whichever emu it's launching?

It doesn't, but for now I'm happy using the MAME settings for number of screens (-numscreens 2) to also show the game playing to avoid burn-in for extended "attract mode" usage.

That's all I got for now! :)
