Howdy MAME fans! I bring you another HUGE update. Dozens for fixes and changes to the core, and a new games filter with various systems to choose. There are even some "old school" filters that are a collection of different systems.Some files and directory structures have changed so, I recommend you to do a clean install if you do not want to keep old files that will not be used by this build (clean install is NOT necessary but preferable).
I tried to kill all the bugs I could find (both functional and visual), and I took the opportunity to change the appearance of some screens. My goal is to make EL as intuitive and easy to use as possible.
Changelog:
.changed: Buttons icons in.bmp format with 2 states: normal / disabled... "resources\images\toolbars\buttons". This fixes the bad background for some Win9x / WinXP users (Vista still have bugs)
.changed: Unzipped arcades images from "resources\images\controllers.zip" again
.changed: Removed some old code and optimized some functions
.changed: Updated Graphic32 component to latest version 1.8.1...faster and new image filters

.changed: Frame box "Customized Game Strings" renamed to "Customized Game Appearance"... preferences screen, general / games tab

.fixed: Error in audit feature for games and bios that have "game" / "bios" strings in their titles

.fixed: Tool bar button systems was not included in [ToolBar] section ("EmuLoader.ini")
