Emu Loader Lite 1.0

posted in Utility Release by xip on Jun 23rd, 2001

Emu Loader "Lite" works in the same way as the regular Emu Loader, but many features are trimmed off and the remaining features are optimized. Here's what's new:
  • First "lite" release
  • The emulator executable is now checked before executing games. It was generating "access violation" errors if the emulator was not found
  • Optimized a little the loading process. Everything is loading faster
  • Now all games icons are loaded from external files, which means that you can customize eve more the games list
  • -There is a new initialization file called "DefaultIcons.ini" in frontend's root folder. This file contains all game classes used by Emu Loader. Each of them can have a custom icon (any color depth can be used)
  • -You need to manually change the icons definitions at this time, if you want to use other icons (I will add a icons selector later)
  • -The icons folder used is "resourcesdefaulticonsgameslist", but you can set any folder you want (must be a complete path)
  • -Note that there is definitions for BIG (32x32) and SMALL (16x16) icon sizes. Sizes are mandatory and all icons entries are required!
  • Added a "Random Game" button in the status bar. Just click on it and the frontend will select a random game based on the actual list
  • Set all screens to use the first monitor (in case you have more than one monitor in your Windows configuration)
  • All documentation files are updated for EL Lite version 1.0
  • Fixed the "Emulator Types" value in "EmuLoader.ini". It was not setting the correct value, even after the detection of the emulator executable Get it at the arcade frontends page. Thanks to Now inc for the news.
