Emu Loader v7.4.3

Emu Loader v7.4.3 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 v7.4.3 Changelog:

Fixed Games list was being fully loaded twice when creating games lists (main menu). One after create list function (required) and a second time after auditing games (2x waiting time!!!) Most affected system is MAME due to its huge games database. Auto-create at startup was never affected by this bug Games were not sorted correctly when sorting the list by a column other than game title. To fix this, the list is internally sorted by title (ascending) before sorting by the selected column. Details view mode only The down side... an extra 100 milliseconds to sort (timing based on games list with 31 thousand games and a Core I7 3.4 GHz CPU) Parent CHDs were not detected correctly in game details screen. This is purely for information only, game audit is NOT affected by this! - CHD and parent CHD files with same MD5 checksum and same file name, the "Parent CHD" entry is not added (duplicate info), but the "header" info text have a new "Parent CHD" tag - CHD and parent CHD files with same MD5 checksum but different file name, both entries will be shown even if only the parent CHD is found Some system IDs were not updated in the source code, making EL malfunction or even crash Open/save file dialog was pointing to a random folder if MAME/HBMAME input folder was not found. Folder is created by EL now (Run Game and Playback/Record Input) Save file dialog was pointing to a random folder if EL's custom folder "\multimedia_files\" was not found. MAME/HBMAME only. Folder is created by EL now (Record WAV/MNG/AVI Output) New emulator detection is working as it should (preferences screen, startup). Emulator version info is also updated if action is set to "skip" Disabled status was not being applied when loading the image layouts settings screen (ghosted icon) Changed Selection bar width increased to 250 pixels in tiles view mode Renamed "Standard" view mode to "Details" view mode... it makes more sense Moved "Game Icon Size" and "Disable Clone Indent" options from main menu "View" to view mode button in tool bar buttons Both options are only visible in details/grouped view modes Many, many... many user interface tweaks Improved function that extracts MAME/HBMAME version info from the "-help" command line parameter, to generate the same text as in MAME's -listxml output This feature can read version strings up to v99.999 so, when MAME reaches version 100.000... "Houston, we have a problem!" EL's custom select file dialog has been improved and optimized, both internally and visually Features "Run Game and Playback/Record Input" are using EL's custom file dialog again. MAME only support 1 input folder anyway (no sub-folders ?) Scan MAME/HBMAME audio samples feature has been simplified to scan games with missing samples... no more, no less Added a "Ghosted" property in TEasyItem type so EL can check if items are ghosted or not with ease... EasyListView component improvement Improved none Removed none Added Last sorted column is now restored at startup (details view mode). Experimental feature New game info: game size - want to know the size of each game ?... for details/grouped view modes - game size is extracted from emulator' games database when creating games lists, not from actual games files - CHD files are not included since they don't have a fixed file size - all systems are supported except for Daphne emulator MAME version info and game list version info are customized based on the emulator filename - official MAME: no filename restrictions... - MAME Plus!: filename containing "*mamep*.* - UME: filename containing "*ume*.* - WolfMAME: any filename since this variant is detected in version info text Notes: - WolfMAME detection is done thru the "[W]" tag in version string - Emulator icon remains the same - This feature is hard-coded in the source code and other MAME variants are not supported, specially MAMEUI and MAMEUIFX You can now select multiple systems at once to create games list and audit ROMs/CHDs (scan games), like in EmuCon. Just select the system(s) in the system selection dialog. Preliminary feature, please report any bugs - Create games list feature is located in main menu "Create Games List" - Scan games is located in games popup menu "Scan Games (Audit ROMs)" and it works with all menu options except "Selected Game" and "Selected Game (Multiple)" - If any system fails to create games list, the failed systems list will be shown in a message box - Selecting "All Systems" ingore all other selections
