Après des années de version 3, ce gestionnaire de ROMs de référence passe à la version 4. Voici ce que celle ci apporte:
- misc: full unicode build
- misc: full support for UTF8 characters in file/folder names, files within archives (7z/rar/zip) and datfiles (XML and old format) The default encoding of xml datfiles is UTF8. The default storing method in archives is UTF8 (for zip, with no extra field usage). Current versions of Winrar, Winzip, 7z (just to name a few) support UF8 stored names. There might be other 3rd party tools (which some people use to rezip/share :)) which might fail (they only work with local page encoding). Tough luck... All textfiles in the clrmamepro environment are now saved as UTF8. You can use your old setup, since it loads them in ASCII and saves them as UTF8. XML files are stored without a BOM (byte ordered mark), non-xml files with a BOM. You should not use newly written files with old versions of clrmamepro. I recommend a good texteditor to work with UF8 datfiles, e.g. notepad++, available here http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
- misc: completely switched to latest ziparchive library for all zip related operations. This includes reading, in-place renaming and no-recompress copy. This results in a faster rebuilder (no recompress) and faster rename operations (scanner). Actual scanning speed is roughly the same.
- added: devices support, devices and device_ref elements are parsed, exported, an own system default path for devices can be added, select sets supports filtering by devices and device_refs
- removed: included doucmentation, switching to online pdf docs soon
- removed: Settings->Compressor->Zip, obsolete due to ziparchive usage
- removed: Settings->Compressor->Oem/Ansi conversion, obsolete due to UTF8 switch
- removed: Scanner->Advanced-> detect sets in wrong sysdefpaths; move sets to correct sysdefpath; chd use sysdefault assignments; use sysdefault paths for fix missing; Such options are automatically enabled internally now if sysdefpaths are setup. The first two ones require an unneeded check+fix though.
- misc: aligned "allow not separated bios sets" & "split bios sets"
- misc: directly jump to profiler or settings instead of prompting
- fixed: xml parser doesn't handle multiple comments on the same line correctly
fixed: dat resource tag export for non-xml datfiles is broken |
