version 8.6.4 change log - August 01, 2018FixedOh darn... I forgot to delete some beep/ding sound commands when initializing game zipped images listsRe-added support to generate zipped snapshot thumbs in thumbnails view
- the code was removed by mistake more than a year ago when EmuCon was merged with Emu Loader, and nobody noticed, not even me
- all arcade systems are supported, "snap.zip" file; MAME also support "softwarename.zip" and "snap_sl.zip"
- Console/computer systems from EmuCon were OkGames list was not focused after a manual switch between light and night mode (main menu)ChangedMinor optimizations to save some RAM when handling game image folders and improve game images preview searchChanges to "Image Category Settings" screen
- button "Default" folder was doing nothing
- category folders are now read directly from config files and not from RAM vars, which might contain different data
- relative paths in console/computer systems (from EmuCon) are now relative to the frontend root path since you can have multiple emulators per system
- minor code tweaksAddedNew "Machines List Filter" filter for "MAME Machines Filter Panel" (machines list popup menu)
- you can customize what machines appear in the list
- it works like the "Customize MAME Software List" feature
- excluded machines list is saved in "arcademame_machines_exclude.txt" file
- machines are only hidden from the list, not disabled
- it's only for the machines filter panel, not for the main games listSupport for "all-in-one" zipped image files (MAME software lists only)
- you can have snaps for all MAME softlist games combined into one humongous file instead of separate "softwarename.zip" files
- filename is the same as MAME's image .zip filenames, plus a "_sl" suffix
- filename format: "snap_sl.zip", "titles_sl.zip", "covers_sl.zip", etc (all categories are supported)
- files must be located in the same place as their "arcade/machine" files (snap.zip, titles.zip, etc)
- you can use "softwarename.zip" files together with these new files
- they will be scanned after "softwarename.zip"
- easy to use, just drop files in them proper folders and start the frontendMulitple image paths detection (MAME only)
- only the first path will be used, ignoring everything else after the ; char (snaps, titles, cabinets, covers, etc)
- removal of surrouning quotes, just to be safe (first and last char on the string)
NOTE: there is no multi directories scan to show game preview images!Added "videosnaps_sl" sub-folder scanning for video preview, MAME software lists
