I would like all 3 =P hehehehe

 

 

there is quite a bit more in it than is mentioned here. Its up to Ebs to tell you.

 

Quick question will you guys want a large build 50 odd megs with all features EG highscores keymaps cheats and other stuff or just the a small build 10 megs or so and you compile all the other stuff we have fine tuned and compiled with combined experiences of the long term posters on xbox emulation.

 

Or a super version of about 120 megs that most top screenshots samples artwork etc plus all mentioned above (basically just add roms)

Changes made to "bendermame 21.01.05"

 

1. Fixed screenshot aspect ratio in simple mode.

2. Clones now use screenshot of parent rom. (ala Mame32)

3. BACK button now cycles through sort modes (by name, by manufacturer etc.)

4. Changed UI background from Light Grey to Black.

5. Flicker filter set to 5 and soften off by default.

6. Debug.log logging removed.

7. Minor improvements made to skin and UI.

 

With regards to settings, there were some that I felt should be set to default.

1. VSYNC enabled

2. Frameskip set to AUTO

3. Skip Disclaimer and Gameinfo

4. Artwork = Backdrops only

5. ForceVMM set to False (to force VM.txt)

6. Default display mode set to Simple List (with screenshots)

 

 

Couple of things I'm currently working on...

1. True Favourites list.

2. Ability to change Flicker filter/soften via options menu.

 

So there you have it. Like I said these are only minor improvements, not exactly earth shattering! As I get more familiar with the code, I'll see what other stuff could be improved upon and report here with the details.

 

I like the idea of the XML file for the display name of Roms. I'll have a look into it and see what I can do. sounds like a challenge :P

Would it be possible to have games display in their correct aspect ratio as they do in MAME-X? Games like MK for instance should be slightly letterboxed not stretched to fill the screen.

 

The aspect ratio option MAMEoX currently has seems to only effect vertical games.

I saw a similar request on xb scene about this issue. I've had a look at the source where the aspect ratio is configured, but unfortunately I think this partiular issue is out of my range. I'll keep looking though. Obviously mameox is using the correct width settings for game, but not the height...easier said than done though.

 

 

 

can you add this to your todo list?

 

-add 2nd folder for screenshots

 

I did think about this, but as BritneysPAIRS says, the clone roms account for most of the supported MAME sets and mameox now uses parent screenshots for the clone sets. This means we could have screenshots showing for every game and not need a second screenshot folder. it's still worth considering though.

 

As for an update. the 'favourites' list has now been implemented, although it is a bit of a shameless hack. I replaced the 'filter disliked' option with 'show favourites' this option displays only Roms you've rated as 'favourite'. Also replaced 'Strongly Liked' with 'Favourite' in the rating categories.

 

Not the cleanest way of doing the favourites list, but it does the job :P

 

I'm also working on implementing support for the HISTORY.DAT

displaying this in-game is out of the question really, as it just eats up that much needed memory. Support exists in the current mameox source for the HISTORY.DAT there's just no way of displaying it at the moment. I'm thinking of displaying it in the 'detailed' view instead of a screenshot as the 'simple' view now supports screenshots, but it'll be some time off yet.
