Emu Loader v4.4.1 MAMu_ Special Edition

posted in Frontend News by narvick on Feb 4th, 2004

Ciro Consentino has updated his popular frontend for MAME! This version also is dedicated to the one and only MAMu_. New in this version:
    Fixed:
  • Access violation when trying to activate a user profile
  • Control Panel's folder/zip file info was not being saved in "EmuLoader.ini"
  • Games list height size, but there are side effects: column header font and hint is also resized :(
  • Access violation when picture "Aspect Ratio" is disabled
  • Custom Options .ini file for Game, Game Driver and Debug were not being read. This bug was present since v4.0 and no one noticed it, but a person a few days ago
  • Fill clone columns feature was not working when using MAMu_ icons
  • Wrong game size display in status bar
  • Messed up icons when recreating game icons list, while MAMu_ icons are enabled
  • Status bar messed up after loading a new set of frontend icons
  • A couple of folder buttons had the wrong image loaded


    • Changed:
  • Master games are loaded before clone games in the list (for the grouped mode)
  • Game size information does nto hide anymore when game size is invalid or zero
  • Massive update to the core for the new grouped mode


    • Optimized:
  • Create Game Icons is somewhat faster
  • A few minor improvements


    • Added:
  • Game icons option: "Show Parent Icon Only". This only shows the icon from the master game, even if the .ico file of the clone game is found. This works only for MAMu_ icons, not default icons (obviously...)
  • New picture filter: "Cousine". It's close to the "Linear" filter but a little better (and slower)
  • Preliminary support for grouped list :) It's in early stages of development so, expect lots and lots of bugs and maybe errors.
  • Option "Big Icons in Grouped Mode" implemented and working :)
  • Option "Blend Clone Icons in 50%" :) a.k.a Ghost Mode and only works when in grouped mode
  • Clicking in the game name button (status bar), executes the selected game
  • Clicking in the game size button (status bar), alternates between game size formats
  • Grouped list can have a background image :) But be aware this makes scrolling slow
  • Option "Show Description Only". Show/hide all other columns when in grouped mode (it works like the details mode)
  • New section in "EmuLoader.ini" file: "[GroupedMode]"
  • New "Appearance" options for games list
  • XP Icons included in the package
