hakan, I would love to be able to detect when a panel changed as well. I have looked into it, and it would be possible with tying into the parallel port for input, but difficult. squirrellydw, I KNOW i could not make something as nice as Gameex, but I think I can give the other a run for their money. ;) Seriously, I just want something that I can fire up and run games on, and I had a lot of trouble with that on others. That is what prompted me to write my own. Just make sure you have a decent video card and run it. This is just supposed a nice, light arcade style, frontend. An arcade machine should NOT look like Windows. It will be free, run (just about) everything, and I am currently adding a theme using screenshots and hires flyer artwork. My problem is that I am graphically challenged. :( The final hurdle is getting the config screens done. Right now I am hand editing a 2 page config file, and i KNOW no one wants to do that. I'm looking into having a friend write a custom wizard tool to hold people by the hand through registering exe's and building the panel lists. My main reason for posting this was to get an idea of what people really wanted, and mix that in with what "I" want. For example: Do people really want to play mp3 audio in the background? Should it be different for each panel? Do people really want to spend hours making custom layouts, how about just giving them a few to pick from, and let them make custom backgrounds for them if they want? It seems a lot of people just want an updated GameLauncher, I already have that, and more? Just answering questions with more questions, THANKS! Tim |

ok cool. For me I need U360 and LEDwiz support. I will also have to work with a 3 sided cocktail table. by the way, I don't like GameEX I prefer Atomic and MA. GameEX is to windowish to me |

Will you be releasing source? I'm interested in OpenGL programming. |

Sounds great. I really like the ability to have all systems in one list. That's a feature alot of people have been asking for. Arcade.exe does this also but it doesn't look that great in full screen mode. Background mp3's is a must. Not everyone is great at making custom backgrounds so you should include some. What kind of machine will I need to run it? One great thing about most fes is that they run great on low end pc's. |

Anyway, i'm looking foward to see your Fe released, it looks very cool. In what language did you made it? What development tools did you use? Why did you choose openGL? Do you plan to do some 3D ? |
