Emu Loader v4.4 MAMu_ Special Edition

posted in Frontend News by spacetiger on Jan 24th, 2004

The incredible MAME frontend, Emu Loader, has just been given a major update. This release is dedicated to MAMu_, the graphics artist that designed icons that have been implemented into the frontend. The list of changes in this version is so long that I'm only going to report the major changes here. For a more extensive list, see here. Anyway, without further ado:

INP Filename ("Play Recorded Game" and "Record Game" features) is now a menu item
Toolbar icons completely updated
Frontend minimum resolution required is now 800x600 pixels, but it's best viewed in 1024x768 resolution
Added folder buttton for "Games Icons"
Added support for unzipped icons in "Check for Unneeded Icons"
Added support for .chd files in any folder
Main toolbar icons changed and upgraded to 32x32 pixels
Added support for zipped ctrlr files
Buttons to select folders, files, zip files and update have an image and are now flatted, like main toolbar buttons (Windows XP Only)
New command line parameter (frontend): -noxpicons
New feature "Frontend Icons Folder"
Support for "mame.ini" file
Lots of new game filters
New folder and update buttons for "Game Snapshots"
New options "Master Game Font", "Clone Game Font" and "Preliminary Game Font"
Support for high quality Windows XP icons

Note that this last feature is only for Windows XP users. Attempting to use the new icons in Win9x will cause your system to crash. The new version of Emu Loader can be downloaded from the MAME Frontends section.
