EmuLoader 4.8 released

[Robert]

version 4.8 changelog:

----------------------

 

.added: Software compiled with new FMOD v3.7.5 and added "fmod64.dll" file so audio files can be played in Windows 64-bit editions

 

.fixed: Feature "Record Sound" in "Advanced User" / "MAME" section was not working

 

.fixed: Folder of "-wavwrite" feature in MAME was not being set correctly

 

.fixed: AV error when closing the audit screen while games are being audited

 

.changed: File "docs\el-tips-tricks.txt" updated

 

.changed: Some minor modifications

 

.changed: Tab "Unsupported" renamed to "Old Builds" (MAME settings screen)

 

.changed: Updates for MAME v0.104u3

          - Thread Priority (MAME settings screen, Miscellaneous tab)

 

.added: New file "ini_files\savestate.ini"

       ... guess what it does

 

.added: New feature: "Load Save State" ("Advanced Users" main menu, MAME based emus only)

        Load a save state before starting a game, if available

        Be aware, games that do not have proper save state support may malfunction due to MAME limitations, not caused by this frontend!

       

        WARNING: MAME "autosave" will be disabled if loading a save state manually (disabled in command line only, not in "mame.ini")

 

.added: New folder with images "resources\images\topbars"... used in some screens

 

.changed: Section "[bios]" in "ini_files\bios.ini" file now display bios descriptions as it should be from the start. This doesn't prevent EL from functioning but you will see "bios" as a description for all bios sets instead of real descriptions

 

.added: Default bios names and selected bios names stored in "ini_files\biosset.ini" file... see next item below for more info

 

.changed: Bios sets feature rewrite

          - Each system with multiple bios sets can have a custom selection, by using a new screen "Bios Sets" accessible from "Advanced User / Bios Sets / Settings" main menu (remember to activate this feature by selecting "User Defined" menu item)

          - Systems with only one bios are excluded from this feature (obviously...)

          - This feature is used only when executing games for MAME based emulators (MAME, AGEMAME, PinMAME)

          - Menu item "System Bios" removed (now obsolete)

          - When in "Bios Sets" screen, bios sets shown in bold font are the default sets

 

          Make sure to recreate your MAME based games lists so this feature can function properly!

 

          WARNING: Do not delete "default_bios" / "selected_bios" entries in "ini_files\biosset.ini" or this feature will not work properly....as a matter of fact, do not mess with this file at all

 

.changed: Bios dropdown button in "MAME Settings" replaced by a listview for easy access

          - All bios sets are shown, even single bios systems

          - Default bios sets are shown in bold font

 

.added: New Option: Display Bios Set "User Defined" Warning (Preferences screen) To remove the "annoying" message after customizing bios sets

 

.fixed: Username and user filename in favorites feature were not being properly handled causing some bugs when adding/deleting games in favorites lists

 

.changed: Renamed "Toggle Expanded / Closed" setting to "Show Expanded Items"... treeview settings menu option / view mode button in tool bar

 

.fixed: Error when all groups are closed in ListView (large, small, list, thumbnails, tiles view modes)

 

.fixed: Long folder/filenames in ZiNc was not properly supported

 

.added: GUI settings for mng playback (feature not implemented yet!)

 

.changed: Sound clips playback and recording now use the sound clips folders setting (Preferences screen, "Folders / Files" tab)

          - The setting "MAME Wave Write" has been removed

          - Record sounds is for MAME based emus only (MAME / AGEMAME / PinMAME)

          - when recording sounds, if a.wav file already exists, Emu Loader will try to create a file with a different name (format "gamename0019.wav")

 

.added: MNG recording (MAME based emus)

        - use "MNG Videos" in preferences screen "Folders / Files" tab to set folders

        - in a future release, these folders will also be used for mng playback

        - to record a video, select "Advanced Users" / "MAME" / "Record Video" main menu

 

.changed: FMOD always use "Windows Multimedia Output" driver for playback now... this output gives you the best quality anyway

 

.fixed: A few bugs when running EL in Windows Vista
