GameEx Multiplatform (Unity) Alpha
By Tom Speirs in GameEx Installs
This is something I started in 2020. I had not made much progress until recently but now have it not far off completion,
It originally started as a separate project but now it uses the same code base.
Please consider an alpha version at this point just for feedback and testing. If you are new here please use the other GameEx installs.
There are currently alpha versions of Linux, Mac and Android to download.,
The benefits of the multiplatform version:
- Few or no external dependencies. Portable install.
- Everything uses the same code base. All versions get updates.
- Supports all major platforms. Including Linux, Android and Mac.
Downsides:
- There is video support but no MKV support just yet.
- Will be missing some features but both Arcade and regular GameEx will be supported.
Instructions:
Linux:
Extract and open a terminal window in that folder.
chmod +x GameEx.x86_64
./GameEx.x86_64
Android:
Allow apps from unknown developers or use an emulator
Open APK on device and install.
Note: Needs decent RAM and storage.
Mac:
Unzip file
Then not sure, not tested on actual mac yet!

GameEx Arcade Edition
By Tom Speirs in GameEx Installs
GameEx Arcade Edition is a derivative version of GameEx that is optimized for arcade controls, arcade machines, and HTPC systems where only gaming is wanted. It was originally designed for arcade game setups only but also supports any emulation system.
It is lighter, has cosmetic improvements and supports the new EmuMovies video themes.
It supports MAME, arcade systems, all other systems and has the following feature differences over the normal GameEx version.
Supports video themes. Less code. Lighter. Less options. Optimized cosmetics for TV and arcade displays. Good support for low resolutions (640 x 480) out of the box. Does not look like windows. Does look a little like HyperSpin.
The video themes and all the content is available at EmuMovies and an automatic downloader is included with the front end.
Don't forget that GameEx subscribers get a 25% discount on an EmuMovies subscription.
Alternatively, subscribing users can use the MAME system pack:

UltraDMD Installer
By Tom Speirs in UltraDMD Install
So I got a little motivated and I updated UltraDMD to work with the latest version of XDMD and latest windows and libraries.
Im going to include the source with XDMD once i clean it up commit.
Hopefully should just work and that's it. I've only tested on Windows 10 but the whole point was to get it up to date.
With this release it has the potential for 64 bit binaries and real DMDs.
It should natively support PinDMD2 and 3 and also supports dmddevice.dll to work with any other DMD.
I hope I am not stepping on toes but I just kind of went on a mission with it.
Enjoy!

cinemarcade.com upscaled videos
By Tom Speirs in GameEx Installs
Back in 2001, a guy called David Dries created www.cinemacade.com and some fantastic MAME fan videos.
Skip forward nearly 20 years and I have upscaled three of the videos to 1440p, 60fps smooth motion.
The videos were converted with https://www.convert-it.org
You can find the original cinemacade.com website here:

The videos can be used as system logos or startup videos.
