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!
