GameEx 5.80
* A ton of emulator databases are included with special thanks to
Dave R. (AKA Incubus)
* I´ve also improved and fixed the parsing of the databases to fix where there´s no date, and provided some built in formatting and cleaning of the description and category.
* See here for more information on database support, and how you can help:

* I have fixed the play random videos option, and also improved it so it now does a shuffle, instead of just randomly select files, meaning videos wont be played again until the list has been parsed. Been wanting to do that for a while, making this feature pretty good now in my opinion.
*
GameEx now attempts to download and show box art for Videos when enabled.
* Something very cool, for folks running on good hardware. The 3D Transition (selected under display settings), have been greatly enhanced to give a very slick alpha blended 3d effect when going between menus. Not many front ends do such things. Only one I know is Windows Media Centre. It makes
GameEx look even more flash and very cool in my opinion, but don´t even bother with it if you have less than P4 1.8GHZ and a Radeon 8000 (or equivalent).
* Fixes please wait animation still showing after
GameEx start-up on unregistered versions.
* I´ve also upped the minimum requirements to a P3 700Mhz instead of 500Mhz.
GameEx may run on less though, but I want people to know
GameEx is really for newer systems.
* Improved loading speed of some menus including start page a lot.
