Ce frontend multi-systèmes a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
The colors in night mode went thru a big change. You will not recognize the night mode...
This build uses my new TBitBtnEx and TSpeedButtonEx buttons. Their colors are fully customizable. There is a new Night Mode 2 page in preferences screen so you can customize the button colors to your liking. They are only used in night mode. Light mode still uses Windows themed button. Made modifications to my PanelEx component for better user customization and fixed a couple bugs I didn't even know were there.
Replaced all TEdit controls by my custom TEditEx component. Guess what... it allows custom frame colors and you can do it in preferences screen. Two last changes. Dark colors in menus and popup menus. No more white menus in night mode.
Almost all screens now have a dark theme. I also replaced the black background color by dark gray, it's easier on the eyes. Emulator settings screens will probably not get dark colors because some of the controls colors cannot be customized (Windows themed drawn).
Many bugs were fixed in this buid. Some of them are important fixes so make sure you update the frontend to this version.
You can no longer change AlterMAME settings. AlterMAME was never supposed to be customizable. A LOT of code was removed and I was able to simplify several routines and fix a bunch of bugs that could not fixed without duplicating the code of these routines (that's a big no no...).
Three changes to the AlterMAME feature: added a second AlterMAME slot so you can use two alternate emulators to run MAME games.
Proper detection of FinalBurn Alpha ( https://www.fbalpha.com ) and Raine ( http://raine.1emulation.com ) emulators. Finally, better handling of application exit codes and their descriptions.
New feature, support custom game icons for MAME software list games when using MAMu_ Icons feature. See the change log for details on how to use it. You can take a look in this thread, EmuChat forum to know more about these icons. So far there are no game icons packs for any MAME softlists.
One last thing. Support for a new handheld system: Nintendo Switch. Yuzu emulator ( https://yuzu-emu.org ) is the only supported emulator for now and you must select yuzu-cmd.exe file to play games.
Fixed
