On to the changes for this release:
- Fixed checkallroms that was somehow broken
- Some improvements to the auto-restart – not 100% yet but I’m learning. Hope to nail it for the next release.
- Some improvements to showing the video player in Linux under Wayland. VLC backend still isn’t supported due to no ongoing WxPython works in this area that I can see (Until the next release maybe?). The wx.mediactrl is supported as long as you use the right gstreamer library (you have to use an unsupported library as they patched support for the wrong library – go figure).
- Fixed the search control – was quite buggy
- On startup in Linux it will check for Wayland and warn you if its present due to the buggy support
- Ongoing works to improve the list control. I’m using UltimateListControl that is great but nobody seems to be supporting anymore and its full of bugs. So I’m manually patching it and distributing the patched copy for now.
- Fixed some tooltips issues
- Ongoing work in the ‘non-mame’ emulators window. Have added a defaults option that uses an xml file to set default values for some common emulators. It’s a very limited list as only the ones I personally play with are included. Feel free to send me others to add.
- Added a preference setting to disable all artwork. This used to be an option under Mame but they removed it a while ago so I have done it myself.
