  1. there is no news topic for 8.75? 3d transitions are much slower since upgrading 8.69 (i think?) to 8.75 i can see the big pixels of text on the zoom in, they're on screen for so long. tried disabling avi backgrounds, still slow. vsync is on btw. ATI Radeon 9600. drivers are a bit old (Sep06, not sure which cat ver it is) but i have a rule about not f**ing with the htpc since its working and this was never slow until this gameex ver. thought i should let you know otherwise all good. shall i try rolling back to 8.72 to confirm? (Which i downloaded but did not install)
  2. heh yeah i allow the mouse (actually a pointing stick on my airboard) in gameex so cant hide it when gameex loads
  3. thats very cool thanks Stu ill try that tomorrow (i take it those are all emus where youve found the cursor showing?)
  4. hmmm what if i just want to hide the cursor in certain emus that dont do it properly (like snes9x and some others). whats the safest way to do this, so that if the emu crashes or whatever the cursor is always restored in gameex or windows?
  5. the emulator grouping that's appeared somewhere between 7.5 and 8.1 is extremely handy. but i have a question - is there an option to put merged emulators in a submenu together and keep game lists seperate, instead of making one list? ive accidently merged all my nintendo emus and actually.. i rather like it

    search

    agreed some way of searching thats more advanced than just jumping to first letter is badly needed. i'd ideally like it filter down in realtime on a substring search* like e.g. thunderbird's email search, but i doubt thats technically do-able graphically with the menu system gameex uses? e.g. typing "Mario" would find "Mario 64" and "Super Mario Kart" on a grouped nintendo emus list.

    Priceless?

    monopoly.z64

    get the latest rdb update here http://www.pj64.net/main/download/func,select/id,7/ although there are still other issues sorry but this sort of question should really be in the pj64 support forum here http://www.emutalk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=6
  9. i would use my trusty notepad though that doesn't really solve the problem, if i want to edit more than a few things i think that's much faster. just back it up first and/or don't make mistakes.

    windows start up

    Shaun nice again. funny how that's in a hidden bit of UI edit: although if you do that, it could have weird consequences as environment veriables like %username% won't be present/correct. be careful if any of your software needs these paths/access rights.

    windows start up

    you can use tweakui to autologin, and disable the welcome screen in control panel user accounts options - give you the old style login dialogue. i don't do this though because then CTRL_ALT_DEL acts differently :/ that's about all i know sorry, don't know any way to remove the login process completely.
  12. excellent, thanks Shaun. fixed 'er right up there. i might never have seen that option thanks can worry about bezels later, just want it all working for now btw i apologise for the subtitle of this thread, tried to change it but can't? i just get stressed when people want to use my htpc and it f*rks up, for whatever reason as for the first problem i have updated gameex from 5.76 to 5.78 and made some changes to the video player and not see this again - BUT i havent really found the cause. all i know is gameex was coming up over the app. so i think there is a bug, but how/where im not sure sorry.
  13. edit: i apologise, firefox was caching my download /me hangs head in shame. i will check checksums from now on. the issue above is fixed
  14. ok something having a similar effect (completely different but it looks like i may not get any help with the above :/) -artwork -artwork_directory artwork where is this coming from please ? mame command line, its stopping some games working. i cant see it in gameex.ini is this something mame+ is adding or..?
  15. thanks tom, i was about to post a confirmation i'm going to download .78 and do a list update, probably a good idea
