MAMELOAD TNG Beta u50

MAMELOAD TNG Beta u50 is released. MAMELOAD TNG is a Frontend GUI for MAME. ML has pretty much all of the features that MAMELOAD had in the DOS days, but it attempts to be functional and fast with low memory usage. This program was always designed to simply be thrown in the MAME folder and executed. Since ML supports most command-line triggers - a MAME.ini is not required. It assumes you have a basic knowledge of MAME including a decent working knowledge of how to adjust your settings via MAME's command-line and .INI file.

Main Features
- Quickly determines an 'available' list (only checks to see if a ZIP or
folder exists).
- Compatability to all MAME Windows versions since it's inception.
(MAME 0.37b15 onward)
- Have the option of using other command line compatable MAME derivitives and
other MAME-based emulators! Tested builds include: MAMEUI, MAMEUI32FX,
MisfitMAME, AgeMAME, PinMAME, HAZEMD, MESS, MJOLNIR, M1, Final Burn Alpha,
Supermodel 0.2a and more!
- Full Screen and Windowed modes.
- Rotating Screen support. The screen can be orientated as normal or rotated
90, 180 or 270 degrees. This functionaity is available to Full Screen and
all windowed modes which status can be changed on the fly through
in-program input.
- Able to view .PNG extra files as well as use .PNG as a background for your
display.
- Support for up to 50 different ROMPATH directories in MAME.INI folder.
- Internal Support for viewing maintained DAT files including: MAMEINFO,
HISTORY, MARP, STORY and COMMAND.DAT files. These are all viewable at
once.
- Ability to delete CFG/INI/NVRAM file in-program for quick testing.
- Save any viewed game list or DAT file check to a file for later viewing.
- Sort any game list by GAMENAME/SETNAME/PARENT+CLONE/SOURCE.
- Type to search for a GAMENAME/SETNAME/SOURCE.
- Variable Default Font Sizes (8x8, 16x16).
- External .BDF font loading and support. (up to size 20x20)
- File Selection for MESS for any media types the system requires.
- Extended Joystick and/or Mouse list navigation.
- Nearly full Command-line support.
- Simple/Flexable interface, small in size and modest in memory usage.
- Streaming music and selection sounds while traversing and using ML TNG.

MAMELOAD TNG Beta u50 Changelog:

- Major Addition: Added support for .XML Softlists for both MESS and MAME, including those systems which have multi-slot mounting capabilities. Usage is simple but can be confusing at first. The file mlreadme.txt will show you what to do you mount carts for these multi-slot systems. When the softlists are shown on screen, they currently are NOT checked for have/missing, it's simply a list of what the emulators states is available to you to run via softlists. If multiple softlists are available to the user, the description will be appended to show that with "{name_of_xml}". - Game level increased to 50000. This should cover even the largest .XML softlist combinations (eg: crc_flop.xml and cpc_cass.xml, for instance, is currently well over 26000 entries) - Added support for use of Haze's "CompleteMAME" build, which is technically a MAME and MESS combined build. Versions 0.144u1 and later are supported. Be sure to edit your favorite.ml file with the name of the executable. - Snapshot support has been enhanced to include support for the .INI entry "snapshot_directory" as well as default softlist snapshot support for both MAME and MESS image packs, per system. - Fixed "command_line_addition" entry in FAVORITE.ML and it now works as expected. Note, if you include any rompath information, it will not be taken in account when doing the initial rom checks. - Got rid of some dead weight - Icons in support of command.dat viewing. I never got them to work 100% correctly as they corrupted some normally viewed text. The command.dat file can still be viewed but the special icons are no longer shown. I may add them back if requested. - Dropped "Finding Default Browser Information". This was done primarily due to the fact that non-administration accounts will often send a popup warning you that this program is modifying your registry. The fact is that ML was running REGEDIT to determine the contents for the variable located in: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command" in order to determine system default. Now, by default, Internet Explorer is used until paste a new path to the "browse_path=" line in FAVORITE.ML. - ML used to have a feature for MESS which retained the last run for you (a filename called MESSLAST.ML), so you could use a 'default' configuration when running a specific system. This has been superceeded by a new file output called "commandlines.txt". This was designed to catch all command lines produced for MAME/MESS and is appended every time a game is launched. You may Edit or Delete this file whenever you feel the need. The lines saved in the file can be used to put into .BAT files, if desired, to run games directly via a shortcut. - Large text floods that accompany some games when you run them sometimes greatly delay the restart of ML when the captures are thrown back to your console window. Anything more than 5000 bytes is now saved to a file instead, with a filename based on the time and what output it is. (EG. 2011-12-05_115725_megatech-1.txt = DATE_TIME_SETNAME-1/2.txt)
