Tom Speirs Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 You just click the play button next to the game name. The game will then launch in GameEx on your PC.Just to be clear on something, it does not remotely stream games to the web browser if that is what you were thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oen Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Just to be clear on something, it does not remotely stream games to the web browser if that is what you were thinking.I thought from the "Play" button, it would stream the emulator window to my browser. Maybe the play button and feature list needs to more clear.Browse and play your game library.That part isn't very clear on the online.gameex.com page. I read that as "browse play your game library from online.gameex.com". Maybe better text would be "Use any browser to browse & launch games within GameEx". Just an idea.Also in the video it shows under a game's page that it says "Play this game", which makes me think "I can play this game right here". Maybe "Launch this game" would again be clearer? I don't know about that one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 If it were true Id be a billionaire. I just thought it was obvious. Ill look at it. I don't want to mislead people. Thanks for pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm stuggling to understand what the main purpose of GameEx Online is other than to make GameEx more social (sharing stats, recommended games, etc.). I think the ability to configure GameEx remotely is interesting, but I'm not understanding why I'd want to do that.... Unless it is designed so that you can setup a dead simple cabinet with only basic controls which would leave you basically unable to configure it without plugging in a mouse/keyboard. Is that is the purpose?Also, I can't figure out how to setup GameEx Online... is there a guide? I input my username/password into GameEx setup, I've launched GamedEx and now I'm logged into GameEx Online with my browser but it says "No Games Found".

tthurman Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 There's not a great deal involved setting it up, and DazzleHP covers it well in this post Uses:Streaming media to other devices on your networkConfigure your cabinent without standing in front of it. Something I find extremely useful, much easier from a desk and chair that hovering over your control panel.Invite someone to review, and correct configurations remotely.You GameEx rig must be online to browse and switch between games. You should be able to freely move throughout your game collection, and launch, close, adjust volume. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullPointer Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Uses:Streaming media to other devices on your networkJust a minor correction to this aspect. GameEx Online streams your media over the internet rather than over your LAN. So long as your GameEx machine is running, you can stream your media anywhere in the world (assuming you have an available internet connection). To my mind this aspect is huge. To put that in perspective, a Plex Pass, which allows you to do something similar, is going to cost you $149.99(!) USD for a lifetime license. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not working because I haven't purchased Evolution yet? I just came across this post:http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/15645-resolved-help-with-online-gamecard-feature/?p=136278But that post seems to conflict with this post:http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/14961-news-forum-and-registration-updates/?p=128653which says "The good news is, is if you have a valid gameex registration regardless of when you got it you get the online upgrade for free."

Adultery Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 You're a lifetime member so it should work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm typing this on my phone, which I'm terrble at btw, but I'm nearly certain that If you purchased gameex in the last quarter of 2013 or afterwards, then you qualify for the free upgrade to Evolution.
