QuickPlay v3.6
posted in Frontend News by mfc on Oct 7th, 2004John wrote in to tell us about an update to his universal frontend called QuickPlay. Here is what's new:
- Virtual Folders, Using the find dialog, you can save your search as a virtual folder and QuickPlay will re-execute your search anytime you want. This has the advantage of making sure your search returns the most up to date information
- Added support for NPlayers.ini
- Improved ROM properties dialog with Next and Back buttons
- new tool which can create data files from your roms custom data - this file can then be used in other folks QP, to scan in your data.
- New External Launcher program for emulators which run crappily when launched from quickplay.
- Moved the list of launchable emulators into its own tree on the main form.
- Improved the rom filtering, now you can filter by other columns.
- MadExcept removed, this seemed to be causing some crashes when QuickPlay shutdown so I have removed it. Unfortunately any bug reports are going to need to be manually submitted.. :(
- Now only the first level in the ROM folder is expanded by default.
- small changes to emu manager. you can now delete all emulators for a system by clicking on the system and pressing delete.
- added option to set a background on folder view.
- rejigged the export form.
- removed pointless mouse emulator thing.
- Removed the Quickplay custom message dialog. It looked crap.
- Moved the list of launchable emulators into its own tree on the main form.
- Improved the rom filtering, now you can filter by other columns.
- Loads of other changes that I cant remember.. :)
- Fixed divide by zero bug with Favourites.
- Fixed issue from Beta where new systems.dat was not being created.
- Fixed issue where emulators which didnt support commandlines were not available for linking to roms.
- Sorted out a lot of issues with editors in the virtual treeview.
