  1. I second Draco. You probably need to change your video settings from the tab MAME menu when you are in game.
  2. I got this when I logged in, but when I closed it, I was logged in just fine….
  3. Yeah, I can’t think of any that would make me want to pay that cost. Many of the driving games would leverage it, I’d imagine. Cruisin’ USA, etc. However, I was thinking if it just accessed a keyboard code, I could just utilize one of my open spots on my iPAC 4 and make a wooden box with a pushbutton you could step on or something. The aimtrak light guns have additional buttons on them, so you may be able to program one of them to do the pedal action to drop to cover. I believe those are for the games where you could throw grenades and shoot (name of that game escapes me). I need to do some work to setup my light guns after I updated the arcade to have light up pushbuttons, but every time I go down there to look into it, I just play games… it’s a good problem to have!
  4. Wow, these are cool. I sunk a pretty penny into my AimTrak Light Guns from Ultimarc. I’d love to not need the light bar and have a bit more accuracy. Might be a future upgrade. On a separate note, what version of MAME gave support to Time Crisis? I must’ve been asleep at the wheel when that happened. Does anyone know how the pedal sends command activity to MAME? Is it just a simple button press? Is it something where you could use a gerrymandered push button setup and program it to a key stroke?
  5. Well, I put in a little more time and money into the Metacarpal Madness. I updated the control panel to light up buttons and made my own artwork (printed by GameOnGrafix). I also removed the components from the computer tower and secured them to the inside of the cabinet. Love it so far.

    To Tom

    Tom, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother during the pandemic. My condolences to you sir. I consider my investment in GameEx to be one of my best and still do. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do for the retro gaming community. The product brings great joy to myself and my three young daughters. It’s way easier for them to navigate the menu than it would be in just Mame itself. (That’s just the start of what it does for us, but it’s the first thing that comes to mind) If you ever need any help with anything, just shoot me a message. I’ve built a few websites in my spare time and done some MySQL stuff. Not very knowledgeable, but always willing to learn, if you need a hand with anything. Thanks! Max
  7. I am trying to setup LEDBlinky to light up with NES, SNES, Atari, etc. It states in their support page that the emulator needs to be named exactly what the front end sends out. I’m just wondering if the exact name is in the .ini somewhere? For example, I can see a few options in the wizard for NES. It could be “5: Nintendo NES”, “Nintendo NES” or “nestopia”. I’m just wondering if it sends what I named it, or my naming with the number ahead or the folder name for the emulator I guess. Thanks for any help! Update: It is working after I put in what I named the emulator in the wizard. Which was “Nintendo NES.”
  8. I am currently working my way through LEDBlinky setup. I have it installed in my arcade edition folder on my main drive currently in the plugins. It seems to be working, but I’m having a few hiccups getting the animation to stop on close of GameEx. Not my question though. My question is in relation to install locations. If I have regular GameEx and Arcade Edition, can I install the LEDBlinky folder in the main GameEx folder and it will work in the Arcade version? Or, do I need to install it in both plugins files for each iteration? Thanks
  9. Ok, just in case someone else comes upon this post looking for help, I figured it out. 1. Open Notepad. 2. Add below content. @echo off cd "C:\GameEx Arcade Edition\PLUGINS\LEDBlinky" start LEDBlinky.exe [youranimationnamehere].lwax exit 3. Save file as start.bat to desktop. 4. Right click file and copy. 5. Press Windows key + R 6. Type shell:startup hit enter. 7. Paste the start.bat file into the startup folder. If you want to occasionally stop the animation, like I do, you can make the following batch and save it to your desktop. 1. Open Notepad. 2. Add below content: @echo off cd "C:\GameEx Arcade Edition\PLUGINS\LEDBlinky" start LEDBlinky.exe 11 exit 3. Save file as end.bat to desktop. 4. Click on file to run the batch and stop the current animation.
  10. Thanks! I sent him an email, but came here too, as I’m impatient. He said it functioned the same way as if you wanted to run an animation in an unsupported emulator. For that, the command was: ”LEDBlinky.exe [animationname].lwax” I tried that in the command prompt and couldn’t even get it to go. who knows. I’ll await email. HAha
  11. Hello, first off… sorry to post here. It’s not related to GameEx, so didn’t want to go there. I spoke with Arzoo via email and he mentioned I could use commands to start an LEDBlinky animation at startup of windows. I made a batch file, but I’m pretty sure I’m not doing it right. I have also added it to the startup via shell. The following is what I put in the batch: C:\GameEx Arcade Edition\PLUGINS\LEDBlinky\LEDBlinky.exe MetacarpalMadnessStartUp.lwax Please help this noob!
  12. So, how do you like the pixelcade? Does it have all the marquees you’d want it to have? If I went the LCD route, I’d get it from somewhere else, like Paradox Arcades. They’d sell a base LCD for like $500. The pixelcade LCD is pretty bonkers price wise.
  13. Hadn’t thought of uploading to YouTube. I’ll have to get that going at some point. It can’t fit through any doors if the panel is attached. If I take the panel off, it slides through a standard sized door like a hot knife through butter baby. Haha

    TapATalk?

    Thanks! I think I'll just add a link on my homescreen.
  15. Yes. I want either a Pixelcade or a lcd marquee. The pixelcade works, but it would be about 3" of dead space on each side. I can make that a work. I like the more realistic look of the lcd marquees though.
