GameBase v1.1

posted in Frontend News by mfc on Jun 29th, 2004

GameBase, a highly customizable universal frontend for Windows, has been updated recently. Here is what's new:

NEW FEATURES

Added a GEMUS var %emupath% that points to the path of the selected emulator
Added a GEMUS var %dbpath% that points to the selected GameBase database folder
Added a GEMUS var %gbgamepath% that points to the GBGame folder
Added an optional version check on startup with option to send anonymous usage statistics
Added 'Find Game/Music by ID' option under the Edit menu (for locating games/music by their GA_Id field)
Added option to show the currently selected game/music ID in the Window Title Bar

CHANGES

Changed GEMUS functions Run_Program(), Set_CFG_Value(), Set_CFG_Item() and Set_INI_Value() to allow absolute path names as well as file numbers for the first parameter (useful if used with the new %emupath% / %dbpath% variables).
GEMUS Comparison QUESTION( ) function now accepts script environment vars

FIXES

Fixed crash when searching for emulators in GEMUS Wizard when only one emulator definition existed in a section
Fixed bug where "(Simultaneous)" was not shown in a view's 'No. of Players 'second column under certain circumstances
Fixed the 'datafile was not found to be version 2.00' bug in RomCenter Dat File Import (thanks to Manfred Wassmann for his help in locating the problem)
