Emu Loader v2.6 Final - Revision 1 (fixed)

posted in Frontend News by outsider on Sep 17th, 2001

EmuLoader is a great frontend for MAME. Here's the following changes: 2.6 Final [Revision 1] (fixed)
  • Forgot to reset the "EmulatorType2" and "EmulatorType3" values on "EmuLoader.ini", when emulators filenames are changed in "Emulators Setup" screen 2.6 Final [Revision 1]
  • Added the "Control Panel Layout" to the sequence of picture types when clicking on the preview image
  • Correction: The "Check for Missing Pictures" works based on the paths from the "MAME Extended Options" screen, not on emulators paths
  • Correction: The "Check for Missing Real Icons" works based on the "icon" path from the "MAME Extended Options" screen, not on emulators paths
  • Correction: The "Check for Unneeded Real Icons" works based on the "icon" path from the "MAME Extended Options" screen, not on emulators paths
  • Forgot to add the "Control Panel Layout" when loading the pictures folders to memory (for "Check Missing Control Panel Layouts" to work)
  • Forgot to add that when building real icons, you can't do it while the Windows color depth is on 32bits, only on 16 or 24bits (or you will get an error...)
  • Delete a lot of optimizing codes, because they were causing weird errors (too much optimization is not healthy, hehehe)
  • Fixed a bug that was not selecting other executables than the 1st one
  • Fixed a bug that was not loading MAME default folders when selecting executables
  • Added a new option: "Show Active M.A.M.E. ROM Paths" With this, you will be able to see what ROM paths are loaded into memory (see "View" main menu) When viewing multiple paths, they are separated by a " , " character
  • Now, when changing between executables, the correspondent ROMs path are also loaded (try changing between executables and see the result on the new "Show Active M.A.M.E. ROM Paths" option ;-)
  • Fixed the resource images ("NoImage.png" files)
  • Fixed the "access violation" when selecting a game filter that has no games (I hope so..)
  • Fixed a problem with "Hot Rod" option when using Win9x Now every time you quit a MAME game, the Num Lock key is correctly restored. This is caused by MAME, not by Emu Loader, and only with Win9x systems In Windows 2000 there is no problems, though
  • Added the background color selector for "Control Panel Layout" (see "Customize Frontend Look" tab on "Preferences" screen) Download it from the MAME Frontends page. Thanks to Gnu for the news
