Emuteca v0.7.0.56 Beta is released. Emuteca is an emulator front-end for any system, like QuickPlay.

Emuteca Features:

•Support for ROMs inside a 7z, zip, rar, and any other format that 7zip can handle; and extract the ROM (or all files) before launching the emulator. Alternatively, you can use the compressed file itself as a ROM; for example, while you are using MAME.
•Group games by families or groups. In many system a ''family'' means different versions of a game; while in others it's better use families to handle the different files which belong to the same game (computer games with many discs).
•It launchs any emulator from command line; althought only some are preconfigured as example, you can add many as you want. Some emulators don't support launch a game from command line but you can use Emuteca to decompress the ROM before lauching the emulator or only for management purposes.
•You can add, edit, delete or disable any system with the System Manager.
•Emulator Manager lets you to configure the command line for the emulators.
•It has a Media Manager to rename media files and assign them to a family or a game.
•It's in English by default, but can be translated.
•In 0.6.X versions, created with Delphi... You can assign a video or/and a music file to a game and it can be autoplayed when selecting the game (actually, only MPEG and MIDI were tested). Someday in 0.7.X this feature will return...
•Other little things that you may discover XD.

Some things, like video and music folders (except demo folders in 0.6.X), are useless...

Although video a music previews are dropped in 0.7.X and it's main goal is port from Delphi to Lazarus, this new version had some new features:

•Script Manager to execute Pascal scripts to do some hard work with the game list. There are some example scripts for extract data from TOSEC or GoodXXX filenames, change ' - ' title delimiter to ': ', Group games that are in the same archive (7z,zip,etc.) or folder (after compressed with GoodMerge), merge in the same archive (7z) all games in a group, and some others.
◦WARNING: Scripts that create a TStringlist generate a memory leak (TStringList.Free don't work as expected O_o ).
◦WARNING: As all executable code, it can be used to do dangerous things.
•Game media files (images, texts, etc.) can work in two modes:
◦Normal mode: One file in the spected folder with the name used by the game or group (it can be in a compressed archive too). This behavior is the usual for Emuteca in previous versions.
◦Folder mode: Many files in a subfolder (or compressed archive) in the expected folder with the name used by the game or group (the media files can have any name).
•Icons for perfect dumps, zones, bad dumps, etc.
