GameExtender Settings Questions

[Adultery]

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!
