 RomVault v3.2.5 
Mardi 27/04/21 à 15:48 par Firebrand
Ce gestionnaire de ROMs a été mis à jour pour de nouvelles corrections de bugs. Voici de quoi il s'agit:
- One bug leads to another... so while deep testing the V3.2.4 version I found a different logic problem going on while fixing. (This one have been around for about 5 months.) And while talking to some others on Discorde another problem with case sensitive file systems showed up, so that also got a fix.

 RetroArch v1.9.1 
Lundi 29/03/21 à 17:09 par Firebrand
Une nouvelle version de cet ensemble de noyaux d'émulateurs réunis sous une même interface a été publiée. Voici les principaux changements:

- 3DS: Graphics widgets support
- 3DS: On error, only init gfx on salamander build. This prevents graphical issues if the gfx is already initialized. Which should always be the case if called from a running core
- 3DS: Update error applet
- 3DS: Enable online Core Updater
- 3DS: Guard threading
- 3DS: Allow sideways screen rotation
- 3DS: Enable threading and add a threaded audio driver
- ANDROID: Implementation of fullscreen over notch function (for Android 9.0 and up)
- ANDROID: Add Play Store module support.
- ANDROID: Add option to switch all installed cores to Play Store versions
- AUDIO: Memalign audio buffers to 64 bytes. This is the most common cache line size, helps with performance. Also fixes issues with platforms like PSP that wrongly assume that malloc returns aligned buffers (to 16bytes). This recently broke the PSP builds
- AUDIO/ALSA: Fix float format detection
- AUDIO/JACK: Deinterleave in the process callback. This allows us to avoid the extra copy to the deinterleave buffer and lets us use only a single jack ringbuffer
- AUDIO/JACK: (Audio/JACK) Fix non-blocking write. Previously we would wait on the condition variable even in the non-blocking case. This improves fast-forward performance massively and brings JACK in line with other backends in that regard
- AUDIO/XAUDIO2: Fix threaded audio bugs with cores like Dinothawr
- CONFIG: Add support for saving per-directory core options and deleting core option overrides
- CONFIG: Enable saving of changed parameters when ‘#include’ directives are used
- CONFIG/DIRS: Enable configuration of the directories used for Favorites, History, Images, Music and Video playlists
- CONFIG/REMAPS: Allow loading core remaps without content
- CONFIG/OVERRIDES: Fix empty override paths when launching without content
- CHEATS: Maximum search value corrections
- CHEEVOS: Generic memory mapping using rcheevos
- CHEEVOS: Ensure badge textures are released before video driver is deinitialized. Should fix crashes with slang shaders.
- CHEEVOS: Include achievement runtime state in save states
- CHEEVOS: Prevent hardcore toggle when emu-handled cheats are active
- CHEEVOS: Add confirmation submenu to achievements hardcore toggle
- CHEEVOS: Calculate leaderboard widget spacing based on video resolution
- CHEEVOS: Show unsupported core message when viewing achievement list for unsupported core
- CHEEVOS: Allow disabling leaderboard notifications and trackers separately
- CHEEVOS: Add display widget for active leaderboards
- CHEEVOS/CORE OPTIONS: Core options blacklist. Disables hardcore mode when certain core options are set
- CLI: Add option for quitting on close content
- CONTEXT/DRIVER SWITCHING: Allow context switching from gl to glcore
- CORE OPTIONS: Add option to reset all core options for current core/content
- CORE OPTIONS: Add per-folder core options
- CRT/SWITCHRES: Improvements
- CRT/SWITCHRES: Low resolution switch bug fix – This allows resolutions lower that 32×224 like 256×224 to work
- CORE DOWNLOADER: Enhanced core downloader search functionality
- D3D10: Should now be able to use shaders with hardware-accelerated libretro cores
- D3D11: Should now be able to use shaders with hardware-accelerated libretro cores
- D3D11: Skip shader/stock blend when we don’t have a texture. This happens if the core calls video_cb with the frame set to null on the first frame, and was causing black screens/driver resets. The ffmpeg core seems to do this.
- D3D11: Fix shaders with scaled framebuffers
- D3D11: Add flip model support – fallback to blit model for OSes where flip model is not supported (windows 7 and earlier). Will add a menu option later allowing the user to switch inbetween the two
- D3D12: Should now be able to use shaders with hardware-accelerated libretro cores
- D3D10/11/12: Increase sprite capacity, we need this so that the hardware rendered menu drivers doesn’t glitch out
- DRM: Fix race condition in drm_surface_set_aspect
- DRM/KMS: add support for custom HDMI timings / modes
- DATABASE: Fix crash that could happen when selecting cursor
- DATABASE/EXPLORE: Fix – Prevent segfault when accessing ‘Explore’ menu
- EMSCRIPTEN: Only report back one screen pointer for rwebinput, fixes lockup when clicking on an overlay
- FILEIO/PERFORMANCE: Only attempt to call dir_check_defaults once per runtime session
- FILEIO/PERFORMANCE/3DS: Increase file buffer size and savestate chunk size. This seems to help with saving large savestates
- FONTS: Improve handling of Arabic and Persian text
- FONTS/FREETYPE: Use fontconfig to select fonts if available
- INPUT: Add hold mode for turbo fire ‘Single Button’
- INPUT MAPPING: Refresh bind list on device type change
- INPUT MAPPING/REMAPPING: Minor bugfix – Remap file browsing starts navigation at input_remapping_directory even if the core-subdir (where saved files go) exists Having remaps for many different cores makes finding the active core files cumbersome, especially because remaps are not compatible between different cores (but maybe for cores emulating the same hardware)
- IOS: Take out ‘Core Downloader’ from iOS 9/iOS 11 builds
- IOS: IOSApp doesn’t crash anymore when a file is shared to it
- INPUT: Keyboard device mapper rework
- INPUT: New input bind order scan/clear fix
- INPUT: Duplicate key event blocking additions
- INPUT: Prevent duplicate key events with hotkeys + keyboard device type
- INPUT: Keyboard LED driver
- INPUT/AUTOCONFIG: Allow controllers with no/empty names to work.

- INPUT/LIBCEC: Map libcec-daemon keys to RETROK
- INPUT/X11: Enable keyboard input when mouse cursor is not inside the RetroArch window but window still has focus
- INPUT/X11: Fix mouse input when mouse is grabbed
- INPUT/UDEV/RUMBLE: Fix rumble.
- INPUT/WINDOWS/DINPUT: Simultaneous shift sticky fix
- INPUT/WINDOWS/DINPUT: Prevent Win-key from opening Start Menu
- INPUT/WINDOWS/DINPUT: Option for disabling Windows hotkeys
- INPUT/WINDOWS/DINPUT: Mouse grabbing/clipping with Alt-Tab
- INPUT/WINDOWS/DINPUT: Mouse grab fixes
- INPUT/WINDOWS/RAWINPUT: Key position fixes
- INPUT/WINDOWS/RAWINPUT: Mouse grab fixes
- INPUT/WINDOWS/RAWINPUT: Prevent outside window mouse clicks when grabbed
- INPUT/WINDOWS/RAWINPUT: Option for disabling Windows hotkeys
- INPUT MAPPING/REMAPPING: Major bugfix – Remap file having a different device type requires manual intervention after loading for the core to register the type properly
- JSON: New faster json parser/writer library rjson
- JSON/RJSON: Replace rapidjson parser/writer in discord-rpc with rjson
- LIBRETRO: Add API extension for cores to query the number of active inputs provided by the frontend
- LIBRETRO: Ensure RARCH_CTL_CORE_OPTIONS_LIST_GET returns false if no core options are available
- LIBRETRO: Add API extension for overriding frontend audio latency
- LIBRETRO: Add API extension for cores to monitor frontend audio buffer occupancy
- LINUX: Also show /run/media or /run/media/$USER in drives list
- LINUX: Adjust brightness according to the limit. Seems like some platforms feature non-standard maximums, but the variable is correclty exported for us to use
- LOCALIZATION: Add Finnish language
- LOGS/SHADER: Shader log spam reduction
- LOGS/CONFIG: Config logging cleanup
- LOGS/SAVESTATE: Config logging cleanup

- MENU/RGUI: Add 3:2, 5:3 and 3:2/5:3 (centered) aspects
- MENU/RGUI/TEXT RENDERING: Add Russian language text support
- MENU/RGUI/TEXT RENDERING: Add support for CJK punctuation glyphs
- MIDI/WINMM: Recover from MIDI messages not handled by the device
- MIDI/WINMM: Fix winmm midi driver hanging on content closing
- NETWORK: Add READ/WRITE_CORE_MEMORY network commands
- NETWORK: Fix backwards condition in socket blocking behavior
- NETWORK/NETPLAY: Attempt IPv4 when IPv6 fails
- OGA/VIDEO: support for OGS
- OGA: This keeps the tradition DRM driver along with the OGA one. The probe function skips the driver if the screen is non rotated to fall back to the regular DRM driver.
- OGA: Fix messages from not disappearing
- OGA: Implement RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_CURRENT_SOFTWARE_FRAMEBUFFER. This is a faster rendering codepath for software rendered libretro cores that some libretro cores use right now. Video drivers in RetroArch have to explicitly implement this for this codepath to work at runtime.
- OPENDINGUX: Add/Optimise rumble interface
- OPENDINGUX: Fix frozen video when enabling fast forward
- OPENDINGUX/SDL: OSD font clean-up
- OPENDINGUX/SDL: Enable selection of image interpolation method when using ‘sdl_dingux’ gfx driver
- OPENDINGUX/SDL: Enable integer scaling when using the ‘sdl_dingux’ gfx driver
- OVERLAYS: Add option to scale overlays automatically (with aspect ratio correction)
- OVERLAYS: Hide Overlay When Gamepad is Connected. Overlays will be hidden automatically when a gamepad is connected in port 1, and shown again when the gamepad is disconnected.
- OVERLAYS: New default overlays for mobile (neo-retropad)
- OVERLAYS: In addition to overlay scale, the user can now set an Overlay Aspect Adjustment factor. Most overlays are designed for 16:9 displays, which means they become stretched/ugly on modern wide aspect phones and suchlike. By changing the Overlay Aspect Adjustment factor, a user can scale the overlay width/height to achieve a uniform appearance regardless of display resolution.
- OVERLAYS: Since scaling a gamepad overlay can result in buttons being squished too close together (or being pulled too far apart), the user can now adjust the effective spacing of the different ‘halves’ of an overlay via Overlay Horizontal Separation and Overlay Vertical Separation factors. Overlay Horizontal Separation divides the overlay in two vertically (left/right, at the centre point), and applies a spacing offset (positive or negative) between the UI elements on each side; Overlay Vertical Separation does the same, but the split is horizontal (top/bottom)
- OVERLAYS/FIX: The Overlay X Offset and Overlay Y Offset options have been fixed, and now work correctly
- OVERLAYS/FIX: All of the above options (and Overlay Scale) are configured and saved independently for landscape and portrait display orientations – so adjusting everything for a nice landscape layout won’t break the portrait display
- OVERLAYS/FIX: When using the Vulkan gfx driver, memory is leaked every time an overlay is freed
- OVERLAYS/FIX: When threaded video is enabled, loading overlays with no images (i.e. utility-type overlays, where everything is hidden until the screen is touched) can generate segfaults due to improper usage of realloc()
- OVERLAYS/FIX: When Show Inputs on Overlay is enabled, ASAN reports bit shift errors due to an incorrect range check when handling turbo inputs – essentially, there is no upper limit to the considered input id range, which means overlay hotkeys (menu toggle, etc.) are incorrectly treated as having turbo support, causing bit shifts using wildly inappropriate id indices
- PLAYLISTS/PORTABLE: Fixed first load initialization
- PS2: Added Multitap support (up to 8 players)
- PS2: Fix for not recognized digital and other non-standard controllers
- PS2: Fix Quitting from RA
- PS2: Add Audio mixer
- REWIND: Prevent ‘Rewind Frames’ from being set to ‘1’ incorrectly on load content
- RUNAHEAD: Add Run-Ahead Toggle hotkey with notifications
- RBUF/ANIMATIONS: Simplify gfx_animation by switching from dynarray to rbuf
- RBUF/CORE UPDATER: Replace static entries array with dynamic array via RBUF library
- RBUF/M3U: Replace static entries array with dynamic array via RBUF library
- SENSORS: Android (crash-)fixes/improvements + add option to disable sensor input
- SDL2/VIDEO: Get the SDL2 video driver to work in Wayland/KMS
- SAVESTATES: Adding savestate garbage collector for autoincrement stavestates. As some issues indicate, there’s an issue with the autoincrement save slot feature: slot index will increase and very old saves won’t be deleted. This adds support to delete old save states with a user defined save state limit (global). Instead of wrapping around the slot counter it will simply delete the oldest save, since it is simpler. For now there’s a limit of one deletion per save, which ensures a user cannot delete many saves by accident if they set the limit too low.
- SAVESTATES/SAVEFILES: Ensure save file and playlist compression is disabled by default
- SHADERS: Add option to remember last selected shader preset/shader pass directories
- SHADERS: Use last selected shader preset directory when changing shaders via previous/next hotkeys
- SHADERS: Remove Parameters line
- SHADERS: Shaders fix for duplicate parameters loading bug
- SHADERS: Fix Crash change num shader passes in UI
- SHADERS/SLANG: Fix slang shaders with rotation
- STREAMING/FFMPEG: Add Facebook Game Stream option (for embedded ffmpeg core-enabled RetroArch builds)
- SWITCH: Fix input bind icons being off by one line
- SWITCH: Fix audio issues
- TLS/SSL: Add BearSSL support, as alternative to mbedTLS
- VIDEO: AddVariable BFI (Black Frame Insertion)
- VIDEO/DRM GO2: Dynamic resolution support
- VIDEO FILTERS: Video filter optimisations
- VIDEO FILTERS: Add several LCD-effect video filters
- VIDEO FILTERS: Gameboy/Dot_Matrix video filters: Add XRGB8888 support
- VIDEO FILTERS: Add Normal4x video filter
- VIDEO FILTERS: Add ‘Upscale_256x-320×240’ video filter
- VIDEO FILTERS: Add ‘Upscale1.5x’ video filter
- VITA: Disable temporarily VitaGL
- VITA: Fix bubble name
- VITA: proper handling of boot params
- VITA: Default menu scale 1.5x to improve readability
- WIFI/LAKKA: Add a proper WiFi menu, with Enable/Disable & Disconnect options. This also allows WiFi passwords to be remembered. The underlying tool (connman) allows to store passswords (that’s why it auto connects whenever you boot a Lakka device), so we expose this so that the user does not have to re-input the pass when connecting to a saved wifi.
- WII/HID: Added HID support for HORI mini wired ps4 gamepad
- WINDOWS: Add support for accelerators to main win32 message loop
- WINDOWS: Add accelerators for Open (Ctrl+O) and Fullscreen (Alt+Enter)
- WINDOWS: Fixes some file I/O failures on Windows when paths are longer than 260 characters.
- WINDOWS: Fix crashing on startup on Windows when using Chinese Simplified language.
- WINDOWS/XP: The OpenGL 1 video driver is now the default for maximum backwards compatibility upon first startup. It’s of course always possible for the user to change this.
- WINDOWS/MENUBAR: Load accelerators, Localize Win32 menu items to current language, and display shortcut keys
- WINDOWS/MENUBAR: Add ‘Reinit’ to Menubar
- WINDOWS/MSVC: Fix rewind crash on MSVC build when using SSE2
- UWP: Don’t default to XMB menu by default, default to Ozone instead
- UWP/VFS: Use Win32 file APIs when possible – better file I/O performance
- WIIU/FILEIO/PERFORMANCE: Faster startup times – remove the path_is_valid() call when loading textures
- WIIU: Fix touchscreen mouse emulation

 Emu Loader v8.8.8 (version complète) 
Mercredi 10/03/21 à 15:59 par Firebrand
Ce frontend multi-systèmes a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
To triple infinity... and beyond!
I'm starting to use TNT Unicode Components Pack in the frontend. I should have done this a long time ago. Added TntRichEdit control so Unicode texts can be displayed in Game Docs panel and in message boxes. You might need a richedit20.dll file so non-English texts can be properly displayed. I tested the frontend with the file supplied by Windows 10 and the results are awful. You can do the same test on your system, try renaming the DLL and restart the frontend. If English / non-English mixed texts are good, you don't need this DLL.
For this build, and this build alone, such DLL file is supplied with the binary packages. Future releases will have a separate download link. Why ? You might already have a DLL in your system that produces good English / non-English mixed texts (usually when Microsoft Office is installed).
File is from the discontinued Microsoft Word Viewer. I tested 4 different DLL files and they all produce different results. Why, Microsoft... WHY??!!!
I rewrote the parsing function of MAME dat files and now Game Docs feature is now lightning fast!
Other tweaks were made, and history (xml or dat) now shows texts correctly. In fact, history.xml is now the preferred file.
New 4K Mode (2160p). But why ? If you're like me, have a 4K monitor and use screen DPI scale at 100%, everything looks tiny, and so does the frontend.
By enabling this setting, you will get resized dialogs with bigger fonts, bigger buttons and other enlarged stuff. I haven't tested this feature with DPI scale other than 100%...
This is my personal dream come true feature ever since I got a 4K monitor back in 2017. A font sized 16 looks so much better compared to size 9!
Warning: Do not attempt to enable this setting if your screen resolution is lower than 3840x2160, the frontend does not validate Windows resolution.
More tweaks to message boxes, better font colors and texts. Several message boxes were also updated with night mode colors. They can display Unicode texts too (see command line texts). The Run Game Confirmation Dialog in the new 4K mode looks awesome.
I've made some modifications to the TNT Unicode Components Pack so, if you already have it installed in your Delphi compiler, you must install my modified pack or some frontend features will not work, and Delphi will give compilation errors. I couldn't find a way to create new "extra" controls to keep the library with unaltered code.

Fixed
- RichEdit controls had garbage RTF text in some screens
- Natural sorting of "Version Info" column was not working as it should

Changed
- RichEditURL component replaced by the Unicode ready "TntRichEdit" (from "Tnt Delphi Unicode Controls" library)
*show Unicode texts (English and non-English mixed together)... as long as you have a proper richedit20.dll file "richedit20.dll" v5.50.99.2010 file is supplied with the frontend, from the freeware "Microsoft Word Viewer" (if you have Microsoft Office 2010 or newer installed, this file might not be needed)
*MAME game docs can display non-English texts correctly now (mameinfo; history)
*message boxes can display non-English filenames in "command line" texts; mostly for console/computer games (not from MAME softlists)
*component class "TTntCustomRichEdit" modified by me to support "URL click" event, and other minor updates (TntComCtrls.pas)
- Command line texts in "Run Game Confirmation Dialog" now show a "run>" tag prefix
*it's a cosmetic feature and to look cute
*but it also fixes a weird "auto-font" bug from "RichEdit20W" class, depending on the .dll you're using (blaim our dear Microsoft for that!)
- function uCommon.CallShellExecute() updated to support UTF-16 WideString URLs; using ShellExecuteW() WinAPI
- Rewrite/optimization of functions to parse game docs dat files (mameinfo, history)
*game entry detection from "history.xml" is now blazing fast... no more 2 seconds lag when selecting games with "Game Docs" feature enabled
("history.xml" is now the preferred file and should be used instead of "history.dat")
- Text and text color tweaks to "Run Game Configuration Dialog" feature (on/off in main menu)

Removed
- RichEditURL component is no longer needed, removed from the entire project, replaced by TntRichEdit

Added
- Updated Atari800 cartridge mappers list to include new entries; for .rom raw cart files without "cart header" (for Altirra, Atari800 only)
- New setting: "Enable 4K Mode (2160p)"
*Larger fonts, buttons, icons and other controls
*only message boxes are supported for now
*feature intended for monitors with 4K resolution (3840x2160) and screen DPI scale of 100%
*in the future, some screens/dialogs will be so much bigger than current implementation and will only fit in a 4K screen resolution (crazy mode on) (this is my personal "dream come true" feature) :) :)

 Emu Loader v8.8.7 (version complète) 
Samedi 27/02/21 à 14:26 par Firebrand
Une nouvelle version de ce frontend multi-systèmes a été publiée. Voici la liste des nouveautés:
More bug fixes and improvements!
Mouse single click to enable/disable Favorites and MAMu_ icons (tool bar buttons). To call the popup menu, use mouse right-click on the buttons.
Much easier, no ? :)
That annoying white box bug between horizontal/vertical scrollbars in night mode is gone. Turned out it was caused by EasyListView, not by Win10.
Using mulitiple paths for MAMu_ icons (zipped / unzipped) was not working, the frontend could not find the .ico files (MAME only).
The frontend was using RichEdit v1.0 (richedit32.dll), causing problems and crashes with Game Docs feature (mameinfo, history, etc...). I updated Delphi 7's TCustomRichEdit class to v2.0 (richedit20.dll) and made other minor changes.
Still no support for multi-language Unicode text (Delphi 7 limitation).
URL links were not working in history.xml / history.dat. I missed the URL format change made to this file.
And I thought this project was solid, with some "minor" issues left to fix...

Fixed
- Nasty bug causing the frontend to not find .ico files and icon.zip if you have multiple icon folders set in MAME's "ui.ini" file
- White square bug between horizontal and vertical scroll bars (bottom/right) on night mode, when both scroll bars are visible (EasyListView bug)

Changed
- Toggle Favorites ON/OFF with single click (tool bar button)
*easier to enable favorites
*use mouse right-click to call the popup menu with more options; this info shows up in button's hint on mouse hover
*fixed a bug not making button state "pressed" at startup if favorites is enabled
- Toggle MAMu_ icons ON/OFF with single click (tool bar button)
*easier to enable game icons
*use mouse right-click to call the popup menu with more options; this info shows up in button's hint on mouse hover
*fixed a bug not making button state "pressed" at startup if MAMu_ icons is enabled
- Minor color tweaks in night mode:
*game title label colors; lighter green (good games) and lighter red (games with missing ROMs)
*scan mode labels color, from light blue to light gray
- Optimizations in "Show Game Docs" feature
*function to add text in RichEdit rewritten for future expansion
*better handling of Unicode strings (no proper multi-language support yet)
*removal of duplicated code to speed things up
*URL links in history.xml / history.dat were outdated, incorrect and not working
*updated TCustomRichEdit base class to use richedit20.dll (v2 / v3) instead of the old richedit32.dll (v1)
*increased RichEdit's text length limit to 16MB; it was causing crashes for some games

Mercredi 24/02/21 à 15:36 par Firebrand
De nouvelles versions de ces builds de MAME dépourvus des machines d'arcade ont été publiées. Voici leurs améliorations spécifiques (valables aussi pour MAMEUI):
- Executable names drop the "64" suffix.
- The hack that saved slider values on exit has been removed. This is because the slider code was refactored and the result was not compatible with the hack.
- Fixed a problem with the pluginspath which could cause plugin errors in certain circumstances.
- Fixed a problem where category files could not be found in certain win10 setups (MESS only)

 Emu Loader v8.8.6 (version complète) 
Vendredi 29/01/21 à 15:13 par Firebrand
Une nouvelle version de ce frontend a été publiée. Voici la liste des changements:
Added support for history.xml format (MAME v0.228 and newer). The old history.dat is still supported, even for newer MAME builds. If you create a XML file for an older MAME version, it will work too. :)
You can get it here: https://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download.
Per category "no image found" feature is back. You can have an different .png file for each of the 17 image categories (in-game snaps, titles, cabinets, flyers, etc...)
Files are to be placed in a new resources\images\img_missing\ folder and be in .png format. Since MAMu_, a.k.a. the icons master, already made images for no flyer and no marquee (years ago), they are included with the frontend as an example. You are welcome to create your own images set and share in Emu Loader's forum.
If one or more files are not found, emuloader.png will be used instead (as it was before).
Filenames are as follow:
Title Snapshot: title.png
Game Snapshot.: ingame.png
Marquee.......: marquee.png
Flyer.........: flyer.png
Cabinet.......: cabinet.png
Control Panel.: controlpanel.png
Software Cover: softwarecover.png
PCB...........: pcb.png
Game Artwork..: ingameartwork.png
End...........: end.png
Boss..........: boss.png
Logo..........: logo.png
Score.........: score.png
Versus........: versus.png
Game Over.....: gameover.png
How to Play...: howtoplay.png
Select........: select.png
There are other minor stuff, mainly bug fixes and more tweaking. Night mode's setting Use Windows 10 Dark Scroll Bar in Games List is enabled by default, and it might not be necessary anymore since this Win10 internal API code hack is working quite well (future setting removal ?). That's it for now.

Fixed
- Wrong "Panels Colors" settings at startup, "Title Font/Shadow", "Title 2 Font/Shadow", "Text Font/Shadow" ("Night Mode" page, Preferences screen)
- Wrong "Search Games Panel Colors" settings at startup, "Filter Font/Shadow" ("Night Mode" page, Preferences screen)

Changed
- Modified the scope of "Ignore Exit Code 1: Invalid Function" setting to support all console/computer emulators
*"KEGA Fusion" is no longer the only emulator returning exit code of "one" on exit
*this error might be related to a missing and/or incompatible plugin or badly configured emulator
*even when nothing is wrong, the emulator might give you "code 1" as an exit code :(
NOTE: this exit code is caused by the emulators, not the frontend
- Updates to "Cleanse" feature in "Favorites Manager" screen
*a list of all entries to be removed from the favorite profile is shown for review
*you can remove entries from that list so they are not deleted from the profile .ini
*there's no way to show titles, only game names and/or filenames and the system they belong to

Added
- Requested setting "Add Leading Zero to Version Info Column (MAME)" so you can have "0.200" text in the version info column instead of ".200"
- Multiple paths support for MAME preview images
*MAME and HBMAME only
*all image categories are supported: snaps, titles, covers, flyers, etc...
*you can have define as many image directories you want
*MAME softlist .zip files don't have to be in the same place as the arcade .zip files anymore, you can have "snap.zip" in one folder and "snap_sl.zip" in another
- Support for MAME .201
*vgmplay software list is now correctly detected and sets are correctly loaded by the frontend
*new filter to hide vgmplay softlist entries from the games list: "Hide Video Game Music Files" ("Arcade Misc Filter" tool bar button)

 RomVault v3.2.2 
Mercredi 27/01/21 à 15:38 par Firebrand
Ce gestionnaire de ROMs a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
- Somewhere in the last few releases a bug crept in causing zipped file to not be fixed if only the case of the rom name in the DAT set was changed. This has now been fixed in release 3.2.2
- After you install this version you should 'Shift/Right Click' on the Update DATs button to fully reload your DATs, doing this will make RV find any incorrectly cased zip files. If RV finds any you can then 'Find Fixes' & 'Fix ROMs' to correct these Zip Files.
