First post, so please allow me to start off by saying how absolutely amazing GameEx is. If I may, I'd like to suggest a few (probably) easy changes that IMHO would make it a little bit better -Provide an option to force the 'Goodmerged sytle' game selection menu, (instead of 'Play this game') even if there is only 1 game in the list. It would make the interface more consistent when some of your games are merged, and others (like CDs) are not. Also, that flag looks nice, and provides a bit of information about the ROM too. -Add more Country flags for goodmerged games. This is especially important when some games have flags, and others do not (ie prototypes) and the titles don't line up properly. I would suggest the following: (W) and (JUE) - Use the 'Earthican Flag' from Futurama, and cut off the stripes. (attached) (JU) and (UE) and (JE) - Either a combined flag (attached) or, preferably, just assign a priority (if U then american, elseif J then Japanese, elseif E then EU) (none) - Either a plain white rectangle, or if legally possible, a Super Mario Bros '?' block would be pretty cool. Just as long as there's something that stands out, as if to say "click here to play me" -Add an option to pass the goodmerged ARCHIVE filename to an emulator, instead of the ROMNAME. This would make Savegames and savestates cross compatible across near-identical ROMs, and you don't need to remember which version of the game your savestate is stored under. You'd want to add a disclaimer as well, in case you save-state in an area that was removed from later versions of the ROM. (Final Fantasy 4 playboy room anyone?) -Probably more work than it's worth, but where more than 1 ROM exists, display the previously played title in BOLD so you don't have to remember which version you were playing. Not as important if the previous suggestion is implemented. -Add a 'preserve aspect ratio' for the intro videos, so they don't automatically stretch on widescreen monitors. That's probably enough for now. Hope it's ok to group these all into one post. Thanks, BoostBaron.
