I wanted to give props to this site and Tom.. I recently built an arcade cabinet and use GameEx as my front end. I am still a complete noob to the whole thing and it can seem daunting at times. I had some buddies over and we were playing all the classics. One of my friends had seen a system with snaps, icons, manuals, marquees, bezels, etc. They asked why I didn't have that. It bummed me out slightly, because I had put a ton of time into the controls... panel..... cabinet... etc. However, I must admit. The reason I did not have them was laziness. I could only find sites with an option to download one thing at a time. That seemed so daunting and time consuming. I really just wanted to play the games. I then stumbled upon Emumovies.com. The site is awesome and has pretty much everything you need. I was worried about the video snaps, due to an onboard video card. However, they even have low res video snaps... I'd recommend this to anyone. I paid the $60 to get unlimited access and it was well worth it. If you really want to make GameEx pop with some media, emumovies.com is where it's at. I just wanted to post this with some tags, in hopes lazy noobs like me could find this information through the associated tags. I have no affiliation with emumovies or gameex. I just thought they deserved some props!! THANKS FOR MAKING THE EXPERIENCE SWEET!

Hi, I have read through the FAQ and the feature request forum, and I am not sure if this feature exists or not. Sorry if something already exists. I have GameEx configured to merge ROM sets. However when this happens there is no way to select what snap is shown from merged set that I can see. For example if I have 3 verions of a ROM with a video snap for the only one version of the ROM, but the other two versions only have a picture snap, I will often find that the static picture snap is the one that is used to represent the merged set. Is this something I can resolved without having to duplicate my video snaps? Can a map file be used? Or best still, could GameEx be configured so that a video snap superseeds a picture snap on merged sets? Thanks in advance
