Ce frontend pour émulateurs arcade (principalement) a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes: Fixed - Game info and game icon displayed when editing MAME/HBMAME custom settings: horizont.ini; vertical.ini; debug.ini; vector.ini - Hint texts not showing on some menu items - Splash screen resize function for 740x480 / 640x480 resolutions was being executed on every FormShow() call. It should be executed only once - Messages dialog height is bigger than Windows resolution if the text is too long. Fix for all resolutions, not just low res - Minor interface tweaks
Changed - Moved driver status settings from customize columns dialog / View Mode tool bar button to preference screen, "Games List" page. It makes more sense. The customize columns dialog exists purely to change columns positions, visibility and their sizes (details/grouped view modes). Read/write settings also moved from [Configuration] to [Preferences] section (EmuLoader.ini) - The following screens/dialogs automatically adapt their layouts to fit 640x480 / 720x480 resolutions (only when needed) *messages dialog *emulators setup screen *customize columns screen *select system dialog *delete/copy/move single game dialog *view file versions (redesigned, main menu "View") - Preferences screen redesigned to fit 640x480 resolution... and to avoid waste of space - The following screens/dialogs were resized to fit 640x480 /720x480 resolutions *frontend's select file custom dialog *frontend's select folder custom dialog *favorites manager dialog - Images manager update (main menu "Images") *layout updated to maximize workspace and to fit 1024x768 resolution (minimum res required!) *proper image folder detection, in case the folder is defined but doesn't actually exist *removed the image category column as you can only scan one category at a time; category now shown at the top (missing icons list) *added all driver status fields; icons only, no texts (columns cannot be resized) *added driver name column *new scan option: "Scan Devices With No ROMs", disabled by default so you can eliminate device sets like "sound", "screen", "spc700", "5380 SCSI" *fixed a few bugs, internal and visual - MAMu_ icons manager update (you should reset columns sizes in "Options" button, status bar) *layout updated to maximize workspace and to fit 800x600 resolution (minimum res required!) *proper folder detection, in case the folder is selected but doesn't actually exist *added all driver status fields; icons only, no texts (columns cannot be resized) *columns order changed for better viewing: game title; game name; clone of; bios name; driver name; driver status; emulation status; color status; sound status; graphic status; manufacturer; version added *new scan option: "Search Icons for Devices With No ROMs", disabled by default so you can eliminate device sets like "sound", "screen", "spc700", "5380 SCSI" *fixed a few bugs, internal and visual
Added - Support to read/write mame.ini in "emu_dir\ini\" sub-folder - Detection of "drivername.ini" files in "emu_dir\ini\" folder along with "emu_dir\ini\source\" on set/delete custom driver options (MAME/HBMAME) - Small tool bar buttons is back! Icons size used is 28x22 pixels (main menu "View" / "Tool Bar Buttons" or customize tool bar dialog). The main filter button only show the "all games" icon no matter what filter is selected - Read/write support for "arcade.ini" config file, exclusive for UME v0.153ex2 and newer (games popup menu, Custom Settings sub-menu) Watch game video previews using a media player of your choise. This feature was created with "Media Player Classic Home Cinema" portability in mind... http://mpc-hc.org *any video/audio format is supported as long as you have the codec installed in Windows and/or an application to play them *only the first file found is played if there are multiple files with same gamename but different extensions (TSearchRec search pattern: gamename.*) *any media player application that load video/audio from the command line can be used *feature settings located in "Video Preview" page, preferences screen and saved in "el_dir\ini_files\video_preview.ini" file *command line parameters support for more control over the media player (switches) - a %1 tag is required so it can be replaced by the video/audio filename (no surrounding quotes required) *relative paths are relative to the frontend, not emulators *folder recursive scan is NOT supported to avoid dog-slow file search, excessive disk reading and pointless waste of RAM/CPU resources *executable or batch files can be used *media player parameters are saved based on the app filename, you can have as many media players setup as you want. Emu Loader will remember parameters for each of them :) *manual playback: "Shift-V" shortcut; "Play Video Preview" in games popup menu or button in images tool bar buttons; assigned button for arcade controllers *setting "AutoPlay" to play videos as you select games (disabled by default for safety reasons) *setting "Parent Game Video" to play video of parent game, if selected game is a clone and the video is not found (disabled by default) *setting "Play Videos Enabled" to toggle the feature ON/OFF in case you wish to completely disable this feature (enabled by default) - Columns header custom font. That's right, now you can customize the header font in details/grouped view mode. Found in games popup menu and preferences screen, "Games List" page |
