Ce frontend dédié aux émulateurs console vient d'être mis à jour. Laliste des améliorations est plutôt longue comme vous allez pouvoir vous en rendre compte:
- changed: Complete new set of game icons and filter icons
- changed: Core rewrite, partially based on Emu Loader. Lots of optimizations everywhere
- changed: Screenshots are split in 2 categories: "Title Snapshots" and "Game Snapshots", and each one have its own folder
- changed: Screenshot file format is changed. They must be the same as the game description
- changed: Removed the ROM / image extension checks. Now all files are supported, except the ones with the following extension: ".txt; .nfo; .htm; .html; .pdf"
- changed: Games list files have 2 new data: media type and number of discs. You do not need to update your current files if you don't want to, but all your games will be set as cartridges and zero discs count
- removed: Tool bar button "mouse"
- removed: Feature "Add PlayStation CD Games"... now obsolete
- removed: SuperScope for SuperNES system since Snes9x v1.502 now load the correct device on startup and other SuperNES emulators do not have a command line parameter to activate mouse
- improved: Frontend's directory tree has been re-organized
- added: Disc images auto-detection. When creating a games list, all files with the following extensions will be set as disc images: .iso; .ngr; .mdf; .bin; .raw; .nrg; .img; .gcm; .cdi... and only for the following systems:
.PC Engine
.Atari Jaguar
.Sega 32X
.Sega CD
.PlayStation
.Nintendo GameCube
.Dreamcast
- added: Two new fields to the columns and games list files:
.Media type: games can be of different types now... here are they:
1. Cartridge
2. Disc Image
3. Laserdisc (LD)
4. CD-ROM
5. GD-ROM
6. DVD-ROM
7. Mini DVD-ROM
. # of Discs: used for real discs only... how many discs a game use
Notes:
*Disc images are detected automatically
*Media type from 3 to 7 are for real discs only, not used by disc images
- added: New resamplers for preview images
- added: Each emulator have default parameters defined by you for cartridges, disc images and real discs (see new file "\emulator_parameters.ini"). Virtually any emulator that load games from the command line can be used
Use "\emulator_parameters.ini" to define default parameters for each emulator. See "docs\ec-emulator_parameters.txt" for more info on how to update/add more emulators to this file
NOTES:
-> every time you select a different emulator binary (Emulator Setup screen), the ROM/ISO/DISC parameters are read automatically if available in the .ini file
-> please keep the .ini file clean and use only original filenames of emulators
-> New parameters are saved in the new .ini file
- added: New setting for emulators: "Load From Disc (LD / CD / GD / MiniDVD / DVD)"
Use this to set the default parameter when running disc games. Note that this command depend on each emulator, it's not a general setting

NOTES:
