QuickPlay v3.5 Update

posted in Frontend News by narvick on Oct 11th, 2003

QuickPlay is a fantastic universal frontend for Windows. It has been updated recently to v3.5. QuickPlay 3.5 came with an incorrect EmuFinder Data file, the SNES data file had ZSNES and SNES9X incorrectly marked down as NOT supporting commandlines. The new file can be downloaded as well (efind.zip). Here's what's new with v3.5:
  • Ability to scan inside a zip file. Now you can put all your ROMs inside one big zip file and QuickPlay will scan inside the archive and store all the ROMs
  • A new 'Getting Started' wizard
  • New ROM and emulator properties to allow support for even more emulators
  • Each folder can now have its own "visible column" settings
  • Added new emulator icons, and made any custom folder icons slightly larger so they are more clear
  • File Paths transfer wizard. If you move your ROMs on your hard drive you can update QPs data files without rescanning your ROMs using this wizard
  • Now compiled in Delphi 7PE


    • Fixes
  • Made a few improvements to the Multi-Dir scanner. Now there is the option to set an emulator to a folder AND all its subfolders
  • Made changes to the minimize/restore code, hopefully this will eliminate the remaining problems
  • Fixed situation where if you enabled "MAME Real Game Icons" and set an invalid path no icons would appear - now the default "chip" returns
  • Fixed bug where if you selected multiple ROMs and went to ROM properties - and saved your changes, the wrong ROMs would be changed
  • Fixed bug where if you right click on VTdir on no nodes causes an exception
  • Fixed Crash when using MAME scan 'All Directories'
  • When using ROM properties form in 'multiple ROMs' mode, 'blank' settings erased any custom data. Now it doesn't.
  • Rewrite the Find dialog - should eliminate problems running certain ROMs
  • Updated support for both 'versions' of the catver.ini file. Although both versions have always worked, there were bugs in this support. These have now been fixed and both versions are now fully supported (and interchangeable!)
