  • Merged some more functions to remove unecessary code duplicatesRemoved
  • Several audit icons from folder “\resources\main_icons\”
  • Artwork filters from “Games Filters” main menu. Also removed support for the now old artwork.ini (thanks Mr. Do!)… “[frontend]\ini_files\artwork.ini” file
  • Only the new artwork.ini file is supported and is to be used with the left panel
  • Audit feature is completely removed from the project (see new feature “Scan Results” for more info)Added
  • Added a new main tool bar button: “Left Panel Filters” for easier access and removed the menu item from the “Games Filters” main menu
  • Left panel now have a popup menu with some options
  • New files: -> folder: “\resources\main_icons\”
    “left_panel.ico”
    “scanresult_ok.ico”
    “scanresult_badcrc.ico”
    “scanresult_notfound.ico”
    “scanresult_game.ico”
  • Support for custom background image and font for the left panel Same background image as games list and font is the same as parent games font
  • New options for MAME 0.122 in MAME settings screen
  • Custom width for the left panel is now saved in “EmuLoader.ini”
  • New folder “font_ttf” with some custom fonts used by the front-end, in case you don’t have them
    New feature: “Scan Results” (games popup menu)
  • Every time you scan the games list, files are created or updated in a new folder: “[frontend]\arcade\scan_results\”. Each system have a file with the “.miss” extension, except for “ZiNc” and “Daphne” systems (no support for these 2). Only games that have missing ROMs/CHD are added
    There are 2 options for this feature:
  • 1. Selected Game (”Shift+A” hotkey) -> view the results of a single game
  • 2. All Missing Games (”F8″ hotkey) -> view the results of all missing games for all systems
    NOTES:
  • At least one ROM or CHD file must be found for each game or it will not be added in the list
  • Green status is for “Ok” ROMs/CHD files
  • Red status is for “bad checksum” and is for CHD files only (no ROMs)
  • Gray status is for “missing” ROMs/CHD files
  • If you download a new .zip file you must re-scan the games list since this feature does not do any scanning, it only read “system_name.miss” files
