29-NOV-2006: QMC2 0.1.b6 - supports SDLMAME!

 

Hello everybody!

 

Today we release QMC2 0.1.b6, which now includes support for SDLMAME (requires Qt 4.2.0+!). Other than that, some bugs have been fixed, several new features were added - i.e. gamelist sorting - and the ROM check has been improved.

 

Changes since v0.1.b5:

 

* fix: widgets disabled during gamelist reload not re-enabled if parser prematurely stopped

* fix: ROMs with attribute runnable="no" removed from gamelist (caused incorrect counters)

* fix: total game count determination didn't cleanly return in case of an error

* fix: build: check qmake version for ALL targets

* fix: ROM check: don't rely on full lines from sub-process, buffered output might be truncated

* imp: some code-cleanups

* imp: removed log entry for loading of preview images

* new: selectable criteria and order for gamelist sort (case insensitive) - note that Qt 4.2.0+ performs much better due to the new "stable sort" for QTreeWidget (and other item views)

* new: when emulators are still running when QMC2 is about to exit, the user can decide to kill them or keep them alive

* new: options Frontend/Gamelist/SortCriteria, .../SortOrder, Frontend/GUI/KillEmulatorsOnExit and MAME/FilesAndDirectories/ROMPath added

* new: SDLMAME-support, including new options template (use "make SDLMAME=1" to enable support for SDLMAME, default is XMAME!)

* new: setup-wizard: checks valid configuration and asks for MAME executable if neccessary

* new: added ROM state M(ostly correct) for verification result "best available" (indicated by a yellow-green sphere)

 

This release has been built and tested with Qt 4.2.0!

An extract:

The controls seem to be much improved over the last few games. The cars respond nicely to your commands, which makes it a heck of a lot easier to drive faster. Even when using nitro you have almost complete control over your car's movements. For the most part, you only use buttons for controls. The only time yo use the touch screen is when you want to call on your wing man.
