EmuLoaderEmu Loader v6.6 is released. Emu Loader was created to manage an arcade games emulator called M.A.M.E. With this frontend, you can change practically any option that is available in the emulator, like the screen resolution, sound quality, game options, etc. There are lots of extra features that makes your life much more easier, like the snapshots viewer where all captured images from M.A.M.E. games can be viewed when selecting games.

Emu Loader v6.6 Changelog:

Fixed
- Applied a dirty fix for the "gamename.zip not found" message, for sets with no ROMs ("Game Details" screen)
- "Ghost" effect not being applied to unchecked files in "Delete Selected Games" feature
- MAME games with no ROMs were being handled as "missing ROMs" (pongf, ide_baseboard, hdd, and others from MAME Plus!)
- Proper MAME NVRAM file type detection ("Delete Selected Games" feature). This is just a cosmetic fix, to display correct file type descriptions...
- Fixed my TShadowLabel component. It was cutting 3 pixels at the right side and 1 pixel at the bottom. The regular TLabel component also does that when text have "Italic" style enabled or the component is set to "disabled"
- Menu item caption was appearing as hints in some menus/popup menus
- Button "Yes" being executed when pressing "ENTER" key, while button "No" is focused (MessageBox screen)

Changed
- Rewrite of "Emulator Setup" screen. A new "glowing text" unit is in for testing (might be removed/replaced in a future build)
To avoid repaint crazyness (like TLabel component), the new "CreateGlowText()" function can only be used with TImage components
- Visual updates on a few screens that have "emulator select" and "image category select" panels and/or screens
- Rewrite of "Image Category / Image Layouts" settings screen and fixed a few visual bugs

Improved
* Delete multiple games at once has been completely rewritten.
- Added game config files (cfg; nvram; eeprom; sram; flash) to "Delete Selected Games" feature. Also added ".flash" files detection for Demul (nvram folder)
- ALL selected games are now scanned, not just available ones. This is necessary since config files are included in the search, and you might have config files but not the actual ROMs/CHDs files
- Files list no longer appear while scrolling the games list. Instead, a "Files Details" button is available if you want to see the full files list (all games or selected games)

IMPORTANT: You cannot select individual files per game to delete anymore. A new checkbox group has been created, called "Check File Types to Delete".
There are three options: "ROMs", "CHDs" and "CFGs/NVRAMs". Just check the file types you want to delete and uncheck the ones you want to keep. It's very simple
* Rewrite of "Show Game Details" screen and a few optimizations. Still not final... I'm not yet happy with how it looks
* Buttons "No" / "Yes" re-arranged in MessageBox screen. Button "No" should be on the right side...
* Replaced open/save file dialogs by Windows native dialogs. The proper dialogs are displayed now on Windows 7 :)
* Finally found a way to compile the project with a high res icon with many resolutions, including 256x256

Removed
- Feature "Delete Game Config Files" is no longer needed
- Feature "Delete Not Used Game Config Files". It's way easier to manually empty config folders from all emulators anyway...

Added
* Support for MAME v147u1 new "mame.ini" settings
* It's bigger... it's better... zipped images is BACK!
- Files are extracted directly into a memory stream (RAM). No temporary files are created
- All systems are supported
- If you modify any of the .zip files, Emu Loader must be restarted, or you can disable/enable images (F6 hot-key)
- Files must be placed in the same folders as images, for each system
- None of the rename/delete features support zipped images, because it's ultra mega dog slow to update .zip files
- Each .zip file is closed after the image is loaded. This prevent files from being locked and always opened...
- The priority is still unzipped images. If no unzipped images are found (both parent and clone), .zip files are searched
- Use of internal string lists for faster file searching
- Filenames for each image category (same as MAME Plus! / MAMEUI). Same filenames for all emulators as well:
- Title Snapshot: titles.zip
- In-Game Snapshot: snap.zip
- Marquee: marquees.zip
- Flyer: flyers.zip
- Cabinet: cabinets.zip
- Control Panel: cpanel.zip
- Control Panel Layout: cpanellayout.zip
- PCB: pcb.zip
- In-Game Artwork: snapartwork.zip
