I just reinstalled windows. Before i was using an older version of instant sheller and windows xp32 sp2 now i use instant sheller 0.8 and xp32 sp3 When after using gameex i launch explorer.exe i get i can browse my computer but i dont get desktop start menu taskt bar etc. How to fix? Regards.

Same problem wit mame32 plus 131. Fine with standard mame 131

When Game ex startus up i have low preformances: The zooming logo move very jerky and also the animation of the selection isn't fluent... when i move the joystick the first time then the aimantion became fluid. Any suggestion?

Show me always the GameExText.png the only way is replace this file?

Also here issues with most played that doesnt work.

Same issue here, but before was working. I tryed again many times, now works i put in instant sheller the flag only for this user and i didn't flag to hide the mouse pointer. And now works is probably the first flag but i dont know why...

Thanks!

I all. I created a logo for amiga games. The logo has some black parts. So, because the Black color is the transparency i changed manually all the black parts to rgb 0,0,1 the i also tryed with 2,2,2 but i have this strange result. In the main menu image1.jpg In the submenu image2.jpg the same png looks better but not perfect Any idea? Enrico

Hi. If i create a vertical resolution theme wit 480x640 resolution i got this error: 12:41:49.7 29/11/2008: Resolution is not equal orelse greater than 632 x 264. Exiting (also now that i registered game ex) If i create one at 640x480 and then i force a resoltion of 480x640 works fine. But i dont have the possibilty to set correctly objects in the theme editor: Thank in advance Enrico.

Hi, is a stupid question... but... To control game ex with media center remote control i need Windows media center... or there is also a driver or a HAck for Windows XP Professional? Best Regards. Enrico.

Yes is a good idea... but my cabinet has a resolution of 480x640 (not rotaded so should work also in unregistered mode... or the cause of my issues is that i didnt yet registerd GameEx?) p.s. i foud that if in Enabel/disable features i set Allow Windows Resize to NO game ex start alwais in full screen. If is window mode i cannot resize to less than horizontal 640... if i set in the theme a resolution lower than 640 tell me that some objects are outside. But there are no object outside!!

REplyed by myself. Not all themes are supported in windowed mode. Seems that v2 only are supported. It Is correct?

Hi, my cab use a very low resolution. I want to design my own theme on my primary pc that has a resolution of 1440x900. I want to see on this pc the theme in low resolution using the windowed mode. But when i launch game ex is alwais fullscreen. Game ex7.08 Why? Best regards

How did you interfaced this remote? This remote simulate the pression of keyboard? Mhhh... this is a good idea i can write a "simple" prg the read the winlirc messages and send wia WMSENDKEY to game ex!

Wow! This resolve also the second question! Thanks!

Wow a reply drectly from the programmer! Winlirc is program that can learn codes from all infrared remotes. Supports al lot of easy to build interfaces http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/receiver.jpg Winlirc is slimply a server that send to all clients connected info about the key pressed on the remote. I interfaced my poor frontend for my media player: http://spazioinwind.libero.it/ea/invenzioni/ycbox/ How i can help you to interface it? Is possible programming a plugin? Best Regards. Enrico. p.s. if you want i can build an ir-adapter for you. (I only need to found a broken VTR, Broken VTR are the best source for ir photodiodes! ;-) )

Hi, only windows media center remote control is supported. Or are supported other kind of remote controls like lirc/winlirc? Ciao. Enrico.

Hi all! I'm testing this frontend for my cabinet. And i have 2 questions about menu structure. 1) I saw that is possible to put Mame in the start page. Is possible to put also Daphne in the main page? 2) When i select mame i arrive in a menu where is present "ALL MAME GAMES" and whan i click on "ALL MAME GAMES" i see the list of all games. Is possible to go directly to the list? Best Regards. Enrico.
