Front End

25th August, 2008 - GameEx 9.51

This release contains changes to the GameEx install. The emulator databases are now a separate download but by default downloaded with the install. There is also an offline version on the download page. The MCE glossy theme has been removed from the install and moved to the default theme downloads. Again this is downloaded and installed by default as usual with the install, and there is an offline install on the site. The old default theme has been removed entirely. This brings gameexsetup.exe down to 15mb. Also in this release are minor fixes to themes, and duplicate list items are now removed when using emulator groups.
