only need to use this if you have low specification video or CPUhardware or you can't get GameEx to set the resolution in 32Bit Colour. In other words your Video card wont run in 32 bitcolour at any useful resolution. This may also improveperformance (although not confirmed) so try this setting if youhave a lower spec PC in general and GameEx runs slowly. Thisturns off Font Anti Aliasing as they don't look right when thisoption is set. (Anti Aliasing does not effect performancethough).

Interface ModeThis setting changes the user interface of GameEx.Gamelauncher mode completely changes the way the userinterface works is controlled and displays. It puts GameEx intoa simple game mode, with simpler menus, simpler navigation,simpler navigating through your available game lists. Many ofthe menus are disabled by turning on this setting, and onlygames lists are available. Navigation is much simpler withpaging by pressing left or right, and button 1 and 2 navigatethe available lists. Button 3 launches game. Recommended forsimple cab setups, where you want to lock things down or itsfor young children. It also supports low resolutions such as320X240. Simple mode disables the menus in gameex so thereis just a list and no horizontal or vertical menu. Paging can beone by pressing left or right. In addition the Shift1 (defaultcontrol) key acts as a home button in simple mode. Simplemode offers all GameEx features but with very simplenavigation.

Dont Wait for VSyncNormally GameEx waits for a vertical Sync of the display beforedrawing to the screen. This should offer smooth animation onfast PC's and is normally recommended. Although Waiting for aVSync takes takes up CPU cycles. It may also be a littlepointless to wait for a VSync on older PC's where GameEx runsslowly anyway. Setting NoWaitVSync to true will make GameExUpdate the screen whenever it can and may make GameEx runa little faster.

Reduce CPU UtilizationNormally GameEx trys to reduce cpu utilisation, by calculatatingtime left after a frame then telling the CPU to sleep. If you donot experience totally smooth screen updates in GameEx andyour not worried about your cpu usage you can turn this off..
Options:
Yes (Default)No
Use 16 Bit ColourThe following setting will use 16 Bit colour instead of 32. Youonly need to use this if you have low specification video or CPUhardware or you can't get GameEx to set the resolution in 32Bit Colour. In other words your Video card wont run in 32 bitcolour at any useful resolution. This may also improveperformance (although not confirmed) so try this setting if youhave a lower spec PC in general and GameEx runs slowly. Thisturns off Font Anti Aliasing as they don't look right when thisoption is set. (Anti Aliasing does not effect performancethough).
Options:
YesNo (Default)
