Version 7.7.3

Fixed

• Tons of Neo-Geo games were left out of the ´Neo-Geo´ filter for HBMAME as there are lots of different driver names for Neo-Geo hacks (´NeoGeo´ device sets are not included!)
  
• Tons of CPS-1 games were left out of the ´CPS-1´ filter for HBMAME; added support for ´cps1mis´ driver name; CPS-1 hacks now appear in the list
  
• Some PGM 2 games were left out of the "PGM´ filter; added ´pgm2.c´ driver detection
  
• Windows themes disabled in checkboxes (SEGA Model 2 Settings screeen)
  
• Horizontal scroll bar visible when CHD files are shown (Game Details screen)
  
• Crazy flickering in TLabel controls when using with TGaugeBar controls
  
• If emu default settings file (mame.ini and others) for AlterMAME is not found, EL would not auto-create the file for AlterMAME, but for MAME (main menu "AlterMAME Default Settings" and games popup menu "AlterMAME Custom Settings)
  
• Bios entry ´[Use Default]´ was not sticking at the top of the list (MAME/HBMAME Settings screen, Miscellaneous tab)
  
• If you have multiple folders in ´inipath´ entry (mame.ini), EL would force the use of ´mame_dirini´ no matter what. This is now fixed, but only the first folder will be used
  eg.: inipath c:emumamemycustom_ini;.;ini
  EL will use ´c:emumamemycustom_ini´ as MAME´s ini folder
  eg.: inipath .;ini;c:emumamemycustom_ini
  EL will fallback to ´mame_dirini´ as MAME´s ini folder (no support for ´.´ folder path)
  
• Error ´Cannot focus an invisible window´ when switching between grouped view and other view modes

Changed

• Updates to Create MAME/HBMAME Games List:
  - detection of CHD files in bios/device sets, for MAME v0.159 and newer
  - detection of discrete audio type for bios/device sets
  - detection of samples entry for device sets
  - detection of display info for device sets
  - improved detection of discrete audio entries to maintain compatibility with older and new MAME builds
  - all games with driver name ´???discrete???´ will be tagged as discrete audio; for UME
  - some code optimization to remove duplicated code
  
• Catlist filter ´PinMAME´ renamed to ´Mechanical´ (´Misc´ tool bar button), and catver.ini scan is now done by a ´mechanic´ tag instead of ´pinmame´ to maintain compatiblity with older and new Catlist files
  
• Catlist filter ´Fruit Machines´ (´Misc´ tool bar button) are now also filtered with categories that contain ´reel´ tag (for Catlist v0.159 and newer); ´fruit´ tag is still checked to maintain compatibility with older Catlist files
  
• Updates to the multi-games loading feature (select multiple games of the same system and run with MAME):
  - broken feature... now it works again
  - Neo-Geo compatible games list renamed from ´neogeo.ini´ to ´multicart_neogeo.ini´
  - removed custom Neo-Geo and SEGA Mega-Tech message box icons (´resoucesmain_iconsmsgbox´ folder)
  - added support for ST-V system (4 games max); supported games listed in ´arcademulticart_stv.ini´
  - new filter: ´Show Only ST-V Multi-Slot´, to filter out games not compatible with multi-slot (´Misc´ tool bar button)
  - added support for PlayChoice-10 system (10 games max), but MAME doesn´t support multi-slot loading for this system yet
  
• Minor source code maintenance... for consistency

Removed

• Create custom settings for device sets is disabled (pointless anyway). Custom settings for bios sets is still supported

Added

• Changes to MAME/HBMAME Settings screen:
  - you can select multiple folders for .ini paths again; ´Folders´ tab
  - screen layout seriously updated (... still need some work)
  - grouped the most important and most used settings in ´Video 1´ tab
  - grouped HLSL and GLSL into ´Video 2´ tab
  - renamed ´Video 1´ tab to ´Video and Audio´
  - renamed ´Video 2 and Audio´ to ´Video 2´
  - HLSL and GLSL auto-detection updated (mame.ini; ume.ini; sdlmame.ini; etc)
  -- ´Direct3D Post-Processing Effects´ panel and its options will only be enabled if ´hlsl_enable´ entry is found in the .ini file
  -- ´OpenGL Post-Processing Effects´ panel and its options will only be enabled if ´gl_glsl´ entry is found in the .ini file
  - new ´OpenGL´ and ´BGFX´ options in ´Video Output Mode´; MAME v0.159 minimum required
  - new ´SDL 2 Accel´ and ´BGFX´ options in ´Video Output Mode´; SDLMAME v0.159 minimum required
  - new setting: "Provider for UI Font" (Miscellaneous tab)
  - you can no longer customize folders for custom game settings (rom_path, ini_path, artwork_directory, etc...); only available on emulator default settings
  - when creating custom game settings, Emu Loader will read a list of config files, so settings from previous files are loaded and overwritten, just like MAME does when loading a game. From top to bottom:
  -- mame.ini; ume.ini; hbmame.ini; emufilename.ini; etc...
  -- debug.ini
  -- vertical.ini (if game screen is vertical)
  -- horizont.ini (if game screen is horizontal)
  -- arcade.ini (UME only)
  -- console.ini (UME only
  -- computer.ini (UME only)
  -- othersys.ini (UME only; this filename and its purpose is a mistery to me!)
  -- vector.ini (if game is vector)
  -- sourcesourcefile.ini or sourcefile.ini
  -- biosname.ini
  -- parentgame.ini (if game is clone)
  -- gamename.ini
  Notes:
  -- every time you click on "Reload Settings" button, all these files are reloaded, starting from mame.ini
  -- if you create a custom settings for say... Vector games, files below vector.ini are ignored (as it should be...)
  -- there´s a new "Reset to Default" button, that reset settings to emulator default, ignoring all custom files
  - new feature ´Validate All Custom Files on Save´: when saving custom settings back, EL will compare current settings with all previous files (if found), to make sure these settings are not duplicated and to keep custom files clean; keep this setting disabled to validate settings only against emulator default settings (mame.ini; ume.ini; etc)
  - SDLMAME/SDLUME/SDLHBMAME auto-detection function updated to search for ´sdlvideofps´ entry in ´sdlmame.ini´; ´sdlume.ini´; etc
  - select folder for fonts added back, multiple folders supported (Folders tab)
  - select folder for debugger comments added back (Folders tab)
  - replaced TListView by a regular TEdit control for ´Controllers Definitions´ folder, ´Crosshair Files´ folder, ´Sample Sets´ folder; multiple folders are still supported
  - replaced TEdit control by TListView for ´Ini Files´ folder; easier to move folders around...
  - removed "custom screen name" edit box as screen names in the format "\.DISPLAYn" are safe to use
  
• Driver ´timeplt´ (Time Pilot), ´tp84´ (Time Pilot ´84), ´circusc´ (Circus Charlie GX380) added to the ´Konami Old School 2 (80s)´ filter
  
• Driver ´asterix´ added to the ´Konami Old School 1 (90s)´ filter
