Well, mainly the option to exclude the -artwork parameter for now. But If the screensaver could have bezels turned on, while off in the main Mame settings, when you play the games, that would be pretty cool.

Although of course the bezels are turned on always now, which makes some of my favorite games, like Donkey Kong, only utilize about 14" of my 29" screen. :/ It's a difficult choice, but I think I'm going to stick with fullscreen games instead of the screensaver, for now. I hope Tom finds some time to fix it, or make it possible to change the screensaver parameters. Maybe add a "ScreensaverCommandline=" in GameEx.ini if that's possible? That would be awesome.

That did the trick.

Thanks. I'll try that later tonight.

I know this is kind of an old topic to bring back to life, but it fits exactly into what I'm experiencing with the Attract Mode. I've decided to do a major makeover to my GameEx setup, and the next priority on my list is getting Attract Mode working again. I think I deactivated it some months ago, because it stopped working. And now that I've found time to look into it, I see it's the exact same issue, as mentioned above. In GameEx, whenever I start the Attract Mode/Screensaver, it goes right back to GameEx. By running the last action from log.txt in a command prompt, I get an "Error: unknown option: -artwork" message box. Does anyone else have it working? Or am I the only one running it on my cab? I spiced it up with some nostalgic videogame commercials.. I can watch those things for hours. I am by the way not using bezels. And I noticed GameEx is creating an "artworkgameex" folder in my Mame directory. I don't know if that's supposed to happen.

Yeah, I found myself with some time on my hands again, so I thought, why not give the good old cab an update.

Updated danish translation. By the way, "SearchList=Soegning" should be "SearchList=Søgning", but the danish character "ø" doesn't show up, resulting in "Sgning". As far as I can see, it only happens on the search page. Danish_v9.30.zip

For a cab, I'd also recommend WinXP Pro SP2, with a customized boot screen, and a hidden shell. I have a long running project of setting up a machine as media center, also running GameEx, and for that, I prefer Vista's media center. So far, I haven't encountered any problems, that I couldn't resolve in one way or another.

Being from Denmark, Arcadeshop.de in germany and Ultimarc in the UK, are the preferred choices.

Hello there, I also stumbled upon the .nib set, and didn't know what to do with them, so I got the GameBase collection from somewhere. Unfortunately their cataloguing isn't very frontend friendly, except for their own. So I found a Top 100 C64 games list on the interweb, and manually plucked these plus a few of my own favourites out of the folders. Then it was easy to set up with VICE in GameEx.

Updated danish translation. Danish_v9.02.zip

GameEx is the only software I know of, that you can miss like 5 updates in one week. I better get the machine updated before it gets totally outdated. Nice work. I'll do an updated danish translation shortly.

Guess not? Ah well, worth a try.

I think it would be easier to find what you're looking for, if you're specifically searching for something. And I could imagine that it would save some work for moderators cleaning threads. But yeah, the actual setup of dividing threads into new categories, looks like an overwhelming task. I do think it would pay off though.
