No you are not the only one Nor is there any one person that wants Roms in folders option to work. I'am sure Tom when he gets around to it will fill the request.

starbuck Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Is sarcasm needed?I am doing it the way you suggested. If you just use the default emulators in setup you almost fill up the amount currently available.Starbuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least you are new to posting on the forum.You can never be to sure.... Maybe you should post in the features request that you would also like more avalable slots.I'am sure if enough board members ask Tom will provide them.Brian Hoffman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Actually its my understanding that if you edit the GameEx.ini file directly you can add up to 100,000 emu's or some other ungodly number.So in short GameEx does support a shit load more than what the GUI interface offers.

It just seems that everytime I mention adding more slots, someone tries to shoot it down. Thank you for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 GameEx currently has the ability to support 999 emulator slots, but is currently fixed to support up to 255 through ini editing, just for performance reasons. There is also an optimization in place that any emulators greater than hundred will not load unless there all sequently enabled above that number.This can all be easily changed though.

headkaze Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Here is a specially compiled version of the Setup Wizard to support 255 emulators. I'll send this on to Tom for inclusion in the next release. I can't imagine anyone wanting more than that!SetupWizard.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenclops Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hey, um, I just tried going through the setup wizard, and tried enabling 43-80. Didn't show up in the config screen. Tried giving them all the name Atari 2600 Games and one PC Games Shortcut. Didn't show up in the config.exe. What I missing? I see the extra slots in the setup wizard, but I can't access them in the config.exe or through emulator setup in setupwizard.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to go to Gameex.ini to do the logo name, work path, and rom path, etc. Then it shows up in Gameex, but not the config. Is there any way to get them to pop up in the config.exe?

headkaze Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The simple answer (for now) is don't use the Advanced Configuration use the Setup Wizard. Open up the Setup Wizard and select Custom then put a tick next to "Emulator Selection" *and* "Emulator Setup". Then you can use the Setup Wizard to add and configure up to 255 emulators. If there is a problem doing this or bug, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept on looking at the emulator setup (1) (2) (3) (4) FINISH. And I was like wtf? But now that I seen the drop down menu to select gameex slots in the emulator setup it all makes senses now.
