Front End

 

1.6.4

See below test vesion log for changes since last public release.

- Fixed: Crash when Favourites are selected with no games in the listview.

- Fixed: mp not opening in Favourites view, when it was the last view before program exit.

 

 

1.6.3 (test only)

- Fixed: View 'Menu bar' needs to show/hide 'Tools' menu.

- Fixed: column headers saving to 0 width if mp closed in Icons view.

- Changed: simplified the way mp stores and uses data. mp no longer creates addition files for filtered lists.

- Added: Unavailable filter (filters on the fly, no need to write it).

- Fixed: the icons for favourites now refresh after verifying ROMs.

- Changed: accepts Favorites.ini files from MAME32/MAME32p. Rename to mp_fav.dat and copy to the same folder as mp.exe to work.

- Changed: search now searches all sets regardless of what you are currently viewing. Your current games list will return when there is no text in the search box.

- Added: Joystick saturation slider.

- Changed: verification of a single game will not move the game from the current view if it does not belong there. It will stay there until the game list view is changed.

- Fixed: MAME Player losing focus after the MAME process has finished.

- Removed: Always On Top option (as I can't seem to replicate mp losing focus after game end, which is why I added it as a temporary fix (see above Fixed).

- Added: Hide Clones option.

- Moved: Verify ROMs and Select MAME Executable menu items to Tools.

- Added: and rearranged other misc. menu items.

 

 

1.6.2 (test only)

- Changed: Options treeview to branched style.

- Added: 'Open MAME folder' under Tools menu.

- Added: 'History version' under Tools menu.

- Added: GUI reacts to mouse moves, setting focus accordingly (optional).

- Changed: close button no longer responds to clicks during Verify ROMs.

- Fixed: GUI not hiding during the playback of inp files.

- Fixed: coming out of Fullscreen (GUI) sets always on top to false if already set to true.

- Added: this release comes with an mp.ini to lessen the chance of mp.exe working with an old mp.ini.
