Ce frontend arcade a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
Fixed
- Changing emulator version manually was not updating the memory var, info was never updated after closing emulator setup screen
- Played and total playtime info texts were not updated in games list after quitting game (just an item repaint issue, info was updated in files)
- Fixed double text "Astron Belt" in game titles (Daphne emulator)
- Sets sorting in scan results feature is fixed. Device sets are shown first, then bios sets and finally game sets
- Scan for HBMAME device sets was wrongly searching in MAME's ROMs folder instead of HBMAME (scan games feature)
- Added the ENM_LINK message directly in Delphi's TCustomRichEdit component (ComCtrls.pas) to fix the "OnResizeRequest" event trigger in RichEditURL component
- ZiNc bios sets had the game index set to zero. ZiNc cannot run bios sets. Value is now set to -1 as it should have been
Changed
- Added a AlterMAME version edit box for manual editing (emulator setup screen)
- MAME/HBMAME game titles with "game desc, the" will no longer be fixed to "the game desc" when creating games lists, except for games tagged "IsMechanic"
- View game docs feature (games popup menu) is limited to MAME and HBMAME now. No point in supporting other systems
- Update "ini_files\control_type.ini" to include "joy1way", fixing control filters and missing controls list info in game details screen
- Clones indentation width increased for better viewing (grouped view mode)
- Code optimization: many variables were defined with Integer type when they could be Byte or ShortInt type (I hope I didn't break anything...)
- Moved setting "Disable Clone Indent" to a new "Details/Grouped" sub-menu (view mode tool bar button)
- Moved several entries from el-todo.txt to a new el-project.txt file
- Some messages (error, info, warning) were updated with simplified texts
- Message boxes (error, info, warning, etc) can have formatted fonts now
- Several interface tweaks
Removed
- Hidden feature to run custom batch files is no more ("el_dir\ini_files\cmdline\")... gone, finito, no mas, kaput, removed from source code
- entry "isdevice" removed from mame/hbmame .miss file (no longer needed)
- More source code cleanup
- A few icons are no longer used (resources\main_icons\ folder): disable_clone_indent.ico; display.ico; input.ico; multimedia.ico; sound.ico; video.ico; font_parent.ico; font_clone.ico; font_imperfect.ico; font_preliminary.ico; font_missroms.ico
- The reminder button in game docs panel is gone... redundant since you can access the popup menu by mouse right-click in the docs panel
Added
- Support to use batch files as emulator executables in emulator setup screen, like in EmuCon
If you want to run games thru batch files (.bat; .cmd), now you can. And there's a bonus... due to the way I implemented the CreateProcess API call, EL is capable of returning execution exit codes even from batch files! :)
Note: emulator version detection will fail and you must enter the info manually
- New misc filter (requested): "Hide Games With CHD Files", so you can hide all games that use CHDs. It's an inverted filter from the main filter "CHD", where only games with CHDs are visible
*Extended driver status with new info and new columns: emulation status, color status, sound status, graphic status
*only MAME and HBMAME are supported, all other systems show blank, nada, emptiness
*must re-create games list for MAME and HBMAME, if you want to see the new info
*info also shown in game details screen
*you'll have to reset and customize columns settings again... sorry
*status icons directly in the games list, enabled by default (details/grouped view modes only)
green icon for "good"; yellow icon for "imperfect"; red icon for "preliminary"
*four new settings for this feature (view mode tool bar button, "Extra Settings" sub-menu)
.Disable Status Icons: Bothered by the colored icons in the list ? Use this option to hide them
.Status First Letter Only: Want to lower the width of all driver status columns but still have a readable status text ?
.Hide Status Texts: Wanna view status icons only ? No problem...
.Short Driver Column Titles: Use it with "hide status texts". Titles are reduced to 3 letter texts so you can lower the column width to its minimum
- Added the four new "driver status" settings above in the customize columns screen, so they can be found by unaware users :)
*Modified and extended "Working/Non-Working" filter (main tool bar button):
filter renamed to "Driver Status Filter"
*you can select the status category to filter: "Driver", "Emulation", "Color", "Sound", "Graphic" (for MAME/HBMAME only)
*filter options expanded to "Working (Good + Imperfect)", "Working (Good)", "Working (Imperfect"), "Non-Working (Preliminary)"
- Game docs popup menu (mouse right-click) have new options to quickly view a info category: "Go To Game Info", "Go To History", "Go To Driver Info", "Go To Story", "Go To Marp"
