version 5.8 change log - June 02, 2009
Fixed
Taito G-NET games being set as found with missing ROMs/CHDs when the bios set if found and ok, but the CHD is missing
This is a special case to avoid all G-NET games being set as missing ROMs/CHDs since this system only use a bios set. The Konami Viper system is similar but some of its games have a game set...
View game details was being called while multiple games selected
Left panel editor not working if MAME binary file is not defined
Selected game not visible on screen when switching between windowed/full screen modes
Wrong system being scanned: "Scan For Missing MAMu_ Icons / Images";
Columns width in hidden games editor were not being updated correctly after manual resize
Changed
Delete game files improved (single/multiple selection). Now you have a files list of the game (Game .zip and CHDs). CHD files are unchecked by default for safety (enable the "Always Select CHD Files" checkbox so they are checked automatically).
Only files that are found will be listed, even if the games is set as available. You can uncheck any file(s) you want to keep )
NOTES:
-> for single selection, the amount of CHD files is unlimited but for multiple selections, they are limited to 3 (three) CHD files per game. If appear a game in MAME with more than 3 CHD files, the front-end will be updated...
-> the multiple selections screen is a little more complex, but filled with hints all over it
-> Recycle bin is NOT supported so, be very careful on the game files you want to delete!
-> only available games and found games with missing ROMs are supported
-> This feature is accessed by selecting one or more games and hitting the "DELETE" key or using the "Delete" option in games popup menu
Replaced all select folder dialog calls by EL´s custom folder dialog
Updated EasyListView component to latest SVN sources
Moved debug.ini custom options (Set/Delete) to "M.A.M.E. Only" sub-menu (games popup menu, "Custom Options")
Improved
No more zip files or hidden folders in browse for folder dialog
Generate .ini files for left panel is now based on the main games list, except "Refresh Rate" (still depends on MAME´s -listxml output)... they are lightning fast too (main menu "Left Panel")
Minor UI optimizations
Removed
Option "Enable Multiple Selection". Multi-select is always enabled
Daphne v0.99.7 pre 5 support removed
Added
New file when creating MAME/ZiNc games lists: "mame_chd.ini" and "zinc_chd.ini" ("frontendarcade" folder)
It contains a list of all CHD files for each game and the specific media type for each CHD (in case a game use more than one CHD file and each of these files are in different formats (hard-disk, CD-ROM, GD-ROM, flash cards, etc...)
This file is used when deleting game files and might be used on other features for a quicker access (acessing "arcadesystemname_roms.el" is slow if the file size is too large!)
Support MAME 0.131u3 new .ini files "horizont.ini" / "vertical.ini" (games popup menu, "Custom Options" / "M.A.M.E. Only")
