Ultrastyle v2.0
posted in Frontend News by mfc on Jul 11th, 2004Ultrastyle, a frontend for both MAME and MAME32, has been updated recently. Here is what's new:
- Changed:
- Attract.txt is now AutoPlay.txt
- ultraconfig tab Attract Mode renamed to AutoPlay Mode as to not confuse the addtion of attract videos
- MAME devs removed -listinfo and ultrastyle now uses -listxml|xml2info to generate li.txt
- wheel changes have been animated to give a more arcady feel
- When checking on cube art, if a clone does not have a picture for a specific kind of art, it checks for the original ROM's art as well.
- In both the Favorite and the AutoPlay treeviews in ultraconfig, games are now listed by game name instead of ROM name.
- Fixed:
- When starting with the filter wheel, the cube would not be the right size. This has been remedied.
- Added:
- MP3 Background music can now be played while searching for a game to play in ultrastyle
- You can now add to your favorites from within ultrastyle
- Added a checkbox to ultraconfig to lock out the adding of favorites from within ultrastyle
- Attract videos have been added into the mix. If you have videos of the attract mode, they will play on the screenshot cube
- Control the volume of Events, MP3, and Attract Videos
- New sound for adding a favorite game
- Paths in ultraconfig for MP3 and Attract Videos, both are optional
- When adding a favorite game, a small green globe pops up next to the marquee and a visual acknowledgement
- LastGame.ini keeps track of the last game played. It is a new starting option as well.
