GameEx was being updated and we've been missing the updates, here are the latest updates in reverse chronological order.

GameEx v2.58

 

- Now supports Mouse Wheel, for scrolling list.

- Quicker Startup.

- Fixed GameEx not initialising if ICONS used in some cases.

- Fixed problem with Images not showing if resolution not 800 X 600 and Background mode was snap.

GameEx v2.57

 

- Now supports ICONS. Specify an ICONPath if you would like to display them alongside each listed game.

- Tested with MAMu's ICONS, and looks pretty good.

- If your ICONS are in a zip you will have to extract them. Processing them in a ZIP was too slow.

- Displaying the ICONS does add a little time onto exiting a game and returning to GameEx. Not a lot, but if that bothers you, as with the other images displayed, you can turn off support for ICONS by not specifying a path.

GameEx v2.56

 

- Setting added to display Marquee images.

- New setting added MAMEAudioMode. This controls sound and music when playing a MAME game. You can now play your playlist or Jukebox music while playing MAME. Pretty cool I think. Thanks to Sound Doc for suggesting this.

- Better memory handling for images.

- Memory usage should stay consistent now. Although I have noticed a memory leak with MAME videos that I am working on.

This was posted by Garrofi, one of Chankast's authors, at Emutalk. They've been making good progress and the XBOX port should also be coming soon. This is certainly welcome news since last update was in July and it is also very exciting since it will be coming to XBOX and they will release the source and binaries. Props to Team Chanka for their continued efforts.

About our missing in action. Chankast has been a very stressful project, it needed a lot of time to get it working. We did an incredible work to get the first release working in only 3 months, it was a full time work. After the 0.25 release I didn't feel like doing chankast again so I took a long break, but we have been improving a lot of things in that time.

 

The emu is faster and need less memory to work, an early xbox version is working, it's great to see shenmue 1 on xbox , the sound is better,...

 

About the future, we are thinking about releasing the source code and a binary with the latest changes.
