R14 [ January 12, 2008 ]

 

:: UI UPDATES:

 

* Added VSync option to the Video menu, this option was always hidden on the config ini and this could make the video look more smoother or accurate with the blitter you have selected (this depends on the video card you have).

 

* Added Turbo mode to the Video menu, now you only have to press F1 one time to activate it, then to deactivate it you click again and that's it =).

 

* Fixed lot of issues in the Game Selection window related to the context menus and the favorites, I finally found a wrong way of using a loop and corrected it.

 

* FBA Enhanced will now remember the Game Selection window Tabs the way you left it, so if you left the Flyers Tab selected and closed the dialog it will remember it, when you go back to the Game Selection window the Flyers Tab will be selected. This feature work with all Tabs in the game selection window, so now eveything is the way you want each time you open the window!.

 

* Fixed problems with the FB Alpha Enhanced title and the DAT generation, now I separated the release number and the title so there should be no problem now with the rom managers.

 

* New Skin / Splash!.

* Added new feature!, Auto Adjust the monitor Aspect Ratio depending on your display.

* New feature! 'Select directories.Ini' file located anywhere on your PC.

* New Feature! 'Configure Directories...', now you can configure:

 

- Cheats directory

- Flyers directory

- Previews directory

- Title directory

- Screenshots directory

 

... you can find the new feature in the 'Game' menu =), Enjoy!.

 

* ROMs Directories Paths & other directories now are saved into "config/directories.ini"

* Now there should be no problems with 'Unicode' directories paths configurations.

* Fixed problem with the ROMs Scanning dialog, now it will appear correctly all times.

* Added option to disable the Menus UI Themes.

* Imported 'Menu UI Theme Select' from FBA Extras.
