EmuLoader 5.0 (Front-End multiarcade) (W)

Nueva version del Front-End para MAME, ZiNc, Daphne, HazeMD y AGEMAME, que funciona bajo Windows.

Lista de mejoras:

.fixed: Games list not being fully created when using a "MAME Plus!" binary

.fixed: Added ".inp" extension to MAME's input playback / recording feature (by request)
... MAME does not add the extension automatically

.fixed: When using relative paths for snapshots and other image types, the frontend was pointing to
its own root folder instead of pointing to the emulator's root folder

.fixed: Record wave output feature from MAME was not setting the correct folder when using relative
paths... it should redirect to the emulator's main path (for each system)

.fixed: No more memory leaks after closing games filters screen

.fixed: Procedure "GetFilesList" (uCommon.pas) was adding folder names in the ouput list when
"sub-directories" setting is disabled (only filenames should be added)

.fixed: Very slow scan when building a list of files or directories (when a directory has a LOT of
files... like MAMu_ icons)

.fixed: Grouped view modes were not displaying the "Tree Root" toggle button

.fixed: Show game F.A.Q. was not working correctly... if using relative paths, the full path of the
emulator will be used (according to the selected game)

.fixed: crazy "Joystick Deadzone" / "Joystick Saturation" floating values when updating "mame.ini"

.fixed: when using relative paths with images folders / zip files, the full path is based on the
emulator path, not the frontend

.fixed: Couple bugs with parental lock feature

.changed: Moved "MAMu_ Icons" feature with all its settings to main screen's buttons tool bar

.changed: Moved MAMu_ Icons settings from [Preferences] to [MAMu_] section, "EmuLoader.ini" file

.changed: Update for MAME save state feature. According to MAME 0.114u3 all .sta files must be inside
their own game name folder now

.changed: MNG output files are now generated inside a game name's folder, just like snaps (MAME emus)
eg: "c:snapsagmanagman.mng"... when snapshots folder is set to "c:snaps"

.changed: Updated documentation files: "docsel-quick-setup-quide.txt" and "docsel-readme.txt"

.changed: The "MAWS Game Info" is now handled as a new image type instead of a separate feature

.changed: Images tool bar is now visible even when MAWS view mode is enabled

.changed: Moved "New Description Format [Game, The]" from preferences screen to "Games List" main menu

.changed: Renamed file from "filter2_02_master.ico" to "filter2_02_parent.ico", folder
" esourcesmain_icons" and all "master / clone" references to "parent / clone"

.changed: Renamed files
- folder: " esourcesmain_icons"
-> "gameicons_checkmiss.ico" to "mamu_scanmiss.ico"
-> "gameicons_checkunneeded.ico" to "mamu_scannotneeded.ico"

- folder: " esourcesgameslist_icons"
-> "*Master.ico" to "*Parent.ico"

.removed: File " esourcesmain_iconsgameicons_enable.ico"

.removed: Zipped MAMu_ icons support is gone so multiple folders can be used

.optimized: Several optimizations thru the entire project, reducing memory variables and for future
improvements. A bunch of duplicated codes were removed and some were merged, resulting on
hidden bug fixes. Frontend is much more solid now

.added: New system: "SEGA Model 2"
Thanks to ElSemi, we now have support for "SEGA Model 2 Emulator"!
Only version 0.5a and newer are supported...

Some of the supported features:
-> Game custom options:
Custom .ini are created on folder "arcadesegamodel2_ini" and when running
a game with custom options, the file "emulator.ini" is renamed to
"default_emulator.ini" and the custom ini will be copied over

-> Custom command line

-> Audit ROMs

-> No merged games support, since ElSemi's emulator works with split-merge sets

.added: New column: "Bios Name". Useful for bios based games, like Neo Geo, PlayChoice-10, CVS, etc

.added: Menu items renamed and added new features to run games (games popup menu):
-> renamed menu item "Play" to "Run Game"
-> renamed menu item "Play (Custom)" to "Run Game (Custom)"
-> added menu item "Run Game and Playback Input"
-> added menu item "Run Game And Record Input"
-> added menu item "Run Game and Load a Save State"
-> added menu item "Run Game and Record Wave Output"
-> added menu item "Run Game and Record MNG Output"

NOTES:
- As you can imagine, the new menu items work just like in MAME32. Select one of them
and a window will open, so you can select a file name
- The new menu items are for MAME based emulators only (no ZiNc, Daphne or SEGA Model 2)
- Hit the "Cancel" button to abort running the game
- You cannot change the folder where files are created, go to MAME default settings instead
- The old features located under "Advanced User" main menu were, of course, removed

.added: New tool bar button: "Favorites". Use this to toggle favorites lists ON/OFF

NOTES:
- The favorites filter is removed from the main filters list now
- When favorites is enabled, the main filters button is disabled

.added: New menu item: "Reload ROMs Folders" (main menu "Emulator")
Use this menu item to reload the ROMs folders into memory, if you edit the "rompath" entry
in "mame.ini" file manually

.added: Support multiple folders in MAMu_ icons feature. Now each system can have its own
set of folders (preferences screen, "Folder/Files" / "General" tab)

NOTES:
-> From now on, you must set all folders you wish to use for each system
When using relative paths, the full path will be based on frontend's main folder

-> Files will be scanned from 1st folder to last so, make sure to always put the main
folder for a specific system at the top of the list, when using multiple folders

-> You can edit folders after adding them to the list with the new "Edit [F2]" button

-> Zipped icons is removed so multiple folders can be used

.added: Feature "MAMu_ Icons" rewritten:
- New settings:
- "Show Parent Icons"
-> show/hide icons for parent games (clone icons are also affected)

- "Show Clone Icons"
-> enable to display game icon for, disable it to display the icon of the parent game

- "Show Special HazeMD Icons"
-> enabling this setting will make EL load the following icons for HazeMD games, when
game icons are not found (MAME and HazeMD systems):
.Mega Drive / Genesis: "g_games.ico", using drivers "md_games.c"; "md_gamul.c"
.Master System: "s_games.ico", using driver "sms.c" and game names starting with "s_"
.Game Gear: "gg_games.ico", using driver "sms.c" and game names starting with "gg_"

- "Show Game Bios Icons"
-> show/hide biosname.ico, when game icons are not found (for bios based games only)

- "Show Game Driver Icons"
-> show/hide drivername.ico, when game icons and bios icons are not found

- "Force Game Bios Icons"
-> show biosname.ico even if game icons are found (for bios based games only)

- "Force Game Driver Icons"
-> show gamedriver.ico even if game icons are found
... if "Force Game Bios Icons" is enabled and the biosname.ico is found, the driver
icon will not be loaded
