ROM Properties ist eine Shell Erweiterung mit dessen Hilfe man sich im Dateimanager Zusatzinformationen zu vielen ROMs anzeigen lassen kann. ROM Properties ist zur Zeit für Linux und Windows erhältlich. Changelog

• New parser features:

  • ISO: Show the sector mode in addition to sector sizes.
    • Fixes #322: Underlying CD image type for ISO
      • Requested by @DankRank.
  • SNES: List the Nintendo Power directory for full NP cartridge dumps.
    • Fixes #154: SNES: Nintendo Power directory
  • MegaDrive: Add external image URL support for the Teradrive TMSS ROM.

• Bug fixes:

  • NintendoDS_BNR: Animated icons were missing the animated icon flag.
    • Affects: v2.4 - v2.5
  • EXE: Don't show the "XML parsing failed" warning if the EXE doesn't actually have a manifest.
    • Affects: v2.5
  • rpcli: SCSI inquiry was accidentally broken during a code cleanup.
    • Affects: v2.3 - v2.5
  • ISO: Get the sector size from the underlying disc reader classes if not reading directly from a file.
    • The SparseDiscReader changes in v2.3 broke this, so anything that uses an ISO-9660 format showed 2048-byte sectors, even if this wasn't the case.
  • KDE: On KF6, ListData widgets that didn't specify a default sorting method ended up being sorted in reverse-order by default. Not sure why this changed in Qt6. A workaround has been applied to fix it.
  • ISO: Fix a typo that broke "Volume Size" on CD-i volumes.
    • Affects: v1.8 - v2.5
  • Build system: DT_RELR detection was broken and didn't work properly since it was implemented in v2.0. It now works properly.
  • GTK4: Fix a potential crash in DragImage when using rp-stub -R.
  • WiiUPackage: vWii packages are now handled properly.

• Other changes:

  • Added support for localsearch-3.8, the new name of Tracker. This is internally handled as API "3L".
    • Fixes #446: Use localsearch paths instead of tracker3-miners
      • Reported by @lufog.
  • rpcli: Improved Unicode output such that it works properly on older versions of Windows, including Windows XP and Windows 7, by using WriteConsoleW(). This requires converting from UTF-8 to UTF-16, but it turns out doing this is actually faster than printf/cout, even on versions of Windows that support UTF-8 properly, so now it's used on Windows 10 as well.
  • rpcli: Some more status and error messages are now colorized if printing to a console. (Cyan for status messages; red for error messages.)
    • Colorization is now disabled on non-Windows systems if TERM is not set to a terminal that supports color.
    • URLs are now colorized and marked up using "OSC 8", which makes them clickable on terminals that support it.
  • The xattr tab now supports displaying file compression algorithms in some cases. On Windows, it will indicate LZNT1 ("standard" NTFS compression) on all versions, and if using Windows 10 or later, it will indicate newer algorithms in use, e.g. the XPRESS and LZX algorithms. On Linux, btrfs's zlib, lzo, and zstd algorithms will be displayed.

Retrom ist ein Frontend für verschiedene Emulatoren sowie PC Spiele im Allgemeinen (Open Source / Rust von John Beresford).

• Bug Fixes

  • sort fullscreen games alphabetically

  • fetch default profile for new emulators, When a new emulator is created, its default profile will now be present in the profile list immediately.

• Newly Added

  • scroll by character in fullscreen mode, you can now use the list of characters on the left of alphabetically sorted game lists in fullscreen mode to scroll to games starting with that character. This is useful for large libraries that are hard to navigate in fullscreen mode.

Das HTPC Multi-Emulator-Frontend GameEx wurde aktualisiert.

pfeMAME ist ein Frontend für MAME, das in der Programmiersprache Python geschrieben wurde. pfeMAME läuft platformübergreifend, getestet wurde es vom Autor unter Windows, Linux und macOS.

v2.33

• Altered some startup sequencing to support some command line changes
• Altered the -v / --version command line to display more version information (pfeMAME, MAME, compiled platform, Python version, and wxPython version
• Added a command line option -c / --count that will give the ROM count based on the stored database file.  If there is no current database then it will return 0.
• Changed some command line exit() commands to sys.exit() as cx_freeze doesn’t support exit().
• Altered the command line options that generate an output (e.g. -v and -c) so that under windows, if the application has been frozen for distribution, a new command prompt window is opened in order to display the output.  This has to be done as under Windows when frozen you cannot send an output to the command prompt window if that’s where you ran the application.
• Fixed a bug that was stopping the mameinfo.dat file from being read.  Also cleaned up the code and fixed some incorrect types.
• Fixed a bug that would throw an error when trying to use the inbuilt logfile reader.  I was not specifying utf-8 as the file type and recent python builds no longer make that assumption for you.
• The setup.py file has been altered to use cx_freeze under macOS now as I was just having too many issues with py2app.  It means that the structure doesn’t look macOS-ish and is instead the same structure and Linux & Windows but at least it works now.
• Fixed a bug that would probably cause a crash when using TileView and the full screen video player kicks in after timeout.  I hadn’t updated the TileView code based on changes I had made to the logger.
• Removed the alternate gamepad code that used the ‘inputs’ library.  It was terrible.
• Added a new feature that allows you to save an image stored in the clipboard as a ROM snapshot for the currently selected ROM.  This can be accessed from the ‘Edit’ menu.
• Alternate Emulators window – Changed controls to use smaller ‘…’ button to select file / folder rather than the older / larger ones.  Changed the layout to a vertical style for the controls & descriptions on the right hand side in order to layout better for smaller displays.  Changed some control sizes for better fitting.  Made the control descriptors BOLD to make them easier to follow.
