Ultrastyle v2.0

posted in Frontend News by mfc on Jul 11th, 2004

Ultrastyle, a frontend for both MAME and MAME32, has been updated recently. Here is what's new:

Changed:

Attract.txt is now AutoPlay.txt
ultraconfig tab Attract Mode renamed to AutoPlay Mode as to not confuse the addtion of attract videos
MAME devs removed -listinfo and ultrastyle now uses -listxml|xml2info to generate li.txt
wheel changes have been animated to give a more arcady feel
When checking on cube art, if a clone does not have a picture for a specific kind of art, it checks for the original ROM's art as well.
In both the Favorite and the AutoPlay treeviews in ultraconfig, games are now listed by game name instead of ROM name.

Fixed:

When starting with the filter wheel, the cube would not be the right size. This has been remedied.

Added:

MP3 Background music can now be played while searching for a game to play in ultrastyle
You can now add to your favorites from within ultrastyle
Added a checkbox to ultraconfig to lock out the adding of favorites from within ultrastyle
Attract videos have been added into the mix. If you have videos of the attract mode, they will play on the screenshot cube
Control the volume of Events, MP3, and Attract Videos
New sound for adding a favorite game
Paths in ultraconfig for MP3 and Attract Videos, both are optional
When adding a favorite game, a small green globe pops up next to the marquee and a visual acknowledgement
LastGame.ini keeps track of the last game played. It is a new starting option as well.

You can pick up a copy from our MAME Frontends section.
