I changed my email but I am not showing a lifetime member for the old version. Do I need to send my receipt email?

I don't use the emulator in question but always good to see more knowledge spread around! Is Yabause that good?

I tried databases, no dice... Tom or anyone who knows, how does the best match work?

OK, using Alien Trilogy on the Sega Saturn as an example - I used it earlier as a random game. I renamed the archive name from Alien Trilogy (U).zip to Alien Trilogy (USA).zip and it worked media wise but I will try a database and report back.

Very busy these days so I haven't had time to fire up the HTPC with work, school and now moving. Now, I have installed the codecs and that got some systems working - for whatever reason my Game Boy and Game Boy Color snaps needed them to work. I have not tried renaming my files within my archives (.zip, 7z etc) yet however I don't get how mame works when they have files within a archive. I wish the snap best match, well was tied to archive name but hmm maybe I need to try a database as I don't use any.

How does GameEX know how to play media for instance.... I'll use a Sega Saturn game, say Alien Trilogy: My archive name is "Alien Trilogy (U)" and the media file name is "Alien Trilogy (USA)" and yes my directories are correct for ISO's and media. Do my archives have to have the EXACT name? I do have "snap best match" I believe it is called enabled. Only Saturn and TG16 CD I have this problem, every other system is fine as far as I know.

I sort of have a wiimote working but I might try this.... may come in handy with mame or other gun games.

What do you use? Currently running the following: Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz OC'ed to 4.2Ghz ASUS Z87-DELUXE LGA 1150 Motherboard ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini 2GB 16GB Kingston HyperX Beast (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) @ 2400 10-12-12-31-1T 1.65v 2x Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB in RAID 1 Noctua NH-C14 140mm x 2 SSO CPU Cooler LG LG GGC-H20L Blu-ray/HD DVD Combo Drive CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX750 (CMPSU-750AX) 750W PSU 2x Noctua NF-R8 PWM 80x25mm fan (rear exhaust) 1x Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPro PC-P 80x15mm PWM fan (side exhaust) 2x Noctua 92x14mm PWM fan (front intake) NZXT Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller Windows 7 x64 Home Edition Controllers: Dual Shock 4 (using DS 4 to Xinput drivers) USB Sega Saturn Pad USB N64 pad Wiimote (no nunchuck yet, barely use Dolphin as is but someday) I don't really watch a lot of TV so I don't need a TV Tuner, have it hooked up to an entry level Pioneer 5.1 receiver and currently running a 2.0 setup, someday maybe a 5.1 setup when I move as I have the speakers and subs but waiting to move. What do you use?

I've had AMD/ATI cards and never had much in the way of issues however always preferred nVidia... Although around 2008-2010 I preferred AMD but since the end of 2010 I've been nVidia all the way. I have a GTX 680 in my main PC, and a GTX 670 in my HTPC. I do wish I got a GTX 760 for the HTPC maybe would save a few bucks as I bought the smaller ASUS DirectCU Mini but it's actually a bit taller than thought but the length isn't long at all and sorta interferes with the height of my case a bit (can't use the stabilizing bracket so I can't stack anything on top of my case) plus I don't game too much. Maybe when the 860 comes out I'll upgrade the HTPC or something.

I had the worse luck in the world with Windows ME. Yuck. The less said the better! Never had any issues at all with XP but can't say that I miss it, been almost three years since I last used it but it lasted one hell of a long time. I remember when it FIRST came out and I was 14 years old everyone was talking mess about it and hating on it at first but six months later it really took off. I thought Windows 7 was the perfect evolution (Vista was horrible).

He's that young? Impressive. I think he makes a flash cart for the N64 also but the availability can be limited (64Drive I think it's called) but still cool to see.

OK, I personally use No Intro for my console roms... disc based systems I use Redump (PS1) or TOSEC (Sega CD) or some other misc collection someone put together (TG-16 and Saturn). In the time I've been through two HTPCs I haven't updated but maybe in the next few months I'll update my sets. MAME I rarely ever update. I have I think 0.14X something on my HTPC but my main PC I have 0.152 waiting to get moved over but I am too lazy right now. I haven't had much problems but I haven't updated in almost a year at this point but regardless I dunno what redump is missing for the US PS1 and I know the TOSEC Sega CD has a couple of errors for US games (I replaced the games that have problems with bin/cue rips). I have my GameEX/Emulator install pretty simple so once I install windows and GameEX I just need to do a few things and can get playing some games

I use 7Zip. However I used Peazip on my main computer to recompress everything to .zip and it works fine. It wasn't a huge deal. I don't have WinRAR on my spare computer and just 7zip (doubt latest version) and it opened the rar files fine.

I finally got back to repacking everything to .zip (no big deal, as I let it process while I was at work and sleeping) and it works now but RAR support may be broken as it was working before. :/

Are you sure you'll really see a difference? I was told the GTX 660 wasn't much slower (5-15%) than a GTX 580 (came out prior to PCI-E 3.0) while the 660Ti was on equal levels, trading blows with a GTX 580 but either way it sips power in comparison.
