Emu Loader was created to manage an arcade games emulator called M.A.M.E. With this frontend, you can change practically any option that is available in the emulator, like the screen resolution, sound quality, game options, etc. There are lots of extra features that makes your life much more easier, like the snapshots viewer where all captured images from M.A.M.E. games can be viewed when selecting games.

Freeware

Changelog

Fixed

Non-game files were added to a MAME software list games
- some games have "rom" entries (battery backup, NVRAM, etc) but are not game files and should not be added ("hash\nes.xml", "hash\msx_cart.xml", others)
- you must re-create all your MAME software list games lists again, either delete all files in "frontend_dir\arcade\mame_softwarelist_games\" folder (easier) or select "Enable: Overwrite Mode" when choosing the arcade scan mode
FATALITY! When validating multiple selected games, bios/device sets were not validated at all (works fine with scall all games, scan single game)
FINISH HIM! Games of "SEGA Model 2 Emulator" were not validated correctly, "model2.zip" board ROMs completely ignored
When running single MAME arcade games, frontend was trying to detect the "machine title", intended for multi-slot machines ("uMain.GetTitleMachineToUse" function)
Timer freeze when applying games filters on grouped view mode
Button "Default Grid Size" and "Show Game Title" were not repainting thumb preview images (Thumbnail Settings)
Font style was set to game filename instead of game title in "Delete Multiple Selected Games Files" screen
Some messages were not showing up in splash screen when creating games lists, specially for "SEGA Model 2"
CRC-32 / SHA-1 checksums of unzipped game files failed to be generated
- some games could not be added to the games list (console/computer systems only)
- most noticeable in "Game Details" screen
- mostly for Unicode filenames
- console/computer games only (ported from EmuCon)
- some internal functions updated to support "WideString" parameters and slightly modified to fix this bug
Frontend crash when trying to open a .zip / .7z Unicode filename in "Game Details" screen (console/computer games from EmuCon) ... this bug is almost 2 years old!
Megatons of drawing bugs thru the entire project

Changed

Changes and improvements to games tool bar:
- resized large icons from 44x40 to 48x48
- resized small icons from 28x22 to 30x24
- added 68x68 icons size support, useful for 2K (2560x1440) and 4K (3840x2160) screen resolutions
- added a white background in the lower text so it's visible in night mode
- several icons were completely remade
- split the icon outer frame from current icons into separate overlay icons, located in a new "resources\main_icons\overlay\" folder
  - overlay icons are painted on top of the icon, alpha blend support
  - overlay icons can be customized to your liking without altering the filter icons
- replaced the "Search" tool bar by a simple button; edit box and buttons are now placed in a new floating panel below the main tool bar
  - you can move the panel around by dragging it with the title bar
- finally removed the dreadful "TCoolBar" control; tool bar background colors can now be customized (night mode only)
- Renamed settings entries in "EmuLoader.ini", you need to customize buttons again in "Customize Tool Bar"
Improvements to "Arcade Games Filters" screen (tool bar button)
- if filter icon not found, the "no icon" was not set correctly
- added support for 68x68 and 30x24 icon sizes, found in "resources\main_icon\arcade_filters\" folder
- choose an icon size to browse the filters list: "Extra Large (68x68)", "Large (48x48)", "Small (30x24)"
- additional tweaks
Moved "Tool Bar Buttons" menu options from "View" to "Games List" main menu, renamed "Small Tool Bar" to "Icon Size" and expanded to:
- Extra Large (68x68)
- Large (48x48)
- Small (30x24)
Changes to "Customize Tool Bar"
- replaced "Small Tool Bar" checkbox by a "Set Icon Size" buttons group: "Very Large (68x68)", "Large (48x48)", "Small (30x24)"
- removed "Search Games Bar" checkbox since it's now listed with the other buttons
- renamed "Hide Tool Bar" to "Show Tool Bar", so it's the same title as the checkbox option in main menu
- additional tweaks
Moved "Show Games Status Bar" setting from "View" to "Games List" main menu, where is belongs
Changes to Preferences screen
- size increased to 850x600 to give its contents more breathing room
- moved "Internet Game Info" panel from "Images" to "General" page
- renamed TSlitter component names of games list and images to avoid overlap settings; you must customize splitters again as "EmuLoader.ini" entries were also renamed
- additional interface tweaks (still needs work)
Changes and fixes to "Supermodel 3 Emulator" features
- entries in file "frontend_dir\arcade\emulator_ini\supermodel_ini\Supermodel.ini" have changed to avoid settings overlap
  NOTE 1: you must re-configure AND save the emulator default settings to update the .ini file
  NOTE 2: settings key names are the same as emulator's "Supermodel.ini" file, but not all of them
- game custom setting files changed as well (change/save emulator default settings first!)
  NOTE: you must re-configure AND save the game custom settings again to update the .ini file
- additional interface updates
- FATALITY! game custom settings were not added properly to command line when running games (nobody noticed this ?!)
  - custom settings and emulator default settings were added twice to command line
  - new behavior: emulator settings is now loaded first, followed by game custom settings file (just like MAME)
  - if game setting is the same as emulator setting, it's no longer added in "ganename.ini" file (just like MAME)
- when running emulator in full screen, if the custom resolution is not valid, current desktop resolution will be used automatically
- if game filename is not found, emulator will not run; it was causing the "Error: Invalid Function 1" message on emulator exit
Replaced the "Main CPU MAME Filter" bar by a floating panel
- it was wasting too much space above the main games list
- the "enabled" filter state is now restored on a frontend restart ("Arcade Misc" filters tool bar button)
- panel position is always at the top left corner of the games list
- you can move the panel around by dragging it with the title bar
- limited the games search pattern to MAME / HBMAME as it's useless for other systems
- added support for night mode
Several tweaks to "Delete Multiple Selected Games" screen; also added "night mode" support
Changes and fixes to "Arcade Scan Games Results" screen ("View Missing ROMs/CHDs" in games popup menu)
- added a Device column to easily identify game sets with device ROMs
- added a file size column (you must create all arcade games lists to see this info)
- MAME CHD file sizes are detected "on the fly" while scan results list is being generated
- missing files texts are now painted in a dark gray color (light mode) and silver color (night mode)
  - status columns text is painted in red color; much easier to spot missing files
- device ROMs were not properly tagged as device ROMs; weird bug as it was working fine for games with multiple device sets
- parent ROMs/CHDs were not properly tagged as parent files, making it not show "Parent" text in status column
- moved controls from bottom bar to top bar, reducing waste of space
- increased selected system icon size and font size of emulator/games list version texts to keep in sync with other screens
- window now have a fixed width size of 1015 pixels
- when viewing a single game, the window height will be shortened to avoid waste of space
- removed the redundant Close button since you can close it with the caption bar "close" button (or ESC key)
- "filename.zip found" and "filename.zip not found" texts are now in "green" and "red" color for easier reading
- status texts are now properly separated by comma; it gives a whole new meaning to the texts being shown
- support for night mode; visibility on this mode is much nicer and detailed than light mode
Tweaks to "Game Details" screen (access in games popup menu or "Shift+I" shortcut)
- missing files texts are now painted in a dark grey color (light mode) and silver color (night mode)
- file size column added to game files list
- MAME CHD file sizes are detected "on the fly" while files list is being generated
- if a CHD filename text is larger than the label dimensions, the hint text will be enabled, hover mouse on it to see it
Since MAME can load Unicode filenames directly from command line, Emu Loader will no longer convert them to DOS 8.3 format (run custom EmuCon console/computer games with MAME)

Added

Tool bar colors settings for night mode in the new "Night Mode" page, Preferences screen
- for games tool bar filters, images tool bar and other "captionless" tool bars in the future
- support custom gradient background; gradient can be disabled to use a single color
- frame color is customizable; it can also be disabled
- tool bars with button caption enabled cannot be customized (TToolBar component limitation)
Added a "Splitter" setting for "Game Documents" panel so you can customize it (Preferences screen, "Game Docs" page)
Added a "Splitter Style" setting for image splitters, default to "Single Color" (Preferences screen, "Images" page)
Support for Supermodel 3 Emulator SVN 735 ("Supermodel 3 Emulator Default Settings" screen)
  - new settings: "scroll fog shaders", "tile map shaders", "stretch"
  - added a "Use Custom [1-1000]" checkbox so you can enable/disable custom "PowerPC Bus Frequency (PPC)" frequency at will
Added save states support for "Supermodel 3 Emulator"
- select a save state file before loading the game
- valid filenames are "gamename.st?" (state slots go from 0 to 9)
- save state folder is fixed by the Supermodel emulator and cannot be changed ("emudir\Saves\")
ROM/CHD size info added to arcade and MAME software list sets
- games validation system do not use it, it's for information only
- ROM size info can be viewed in "Game Details" and "Games Scan Results" screens (games popup menu)
- you need to create new games lists for all arcade systems and MAME software lists to see this info, but frontend works fine without it
- games of Supermodel 3 emulator doesn't have ROM size info in "emudir\Config\games.xml"
- games of console/computer systems already have file size info (systems ported from EmuCon Frontend)

- you don't have to overwrite frontend's overlay icons anymore, just create a sub-folder with your custom icons and select it in the drop-down box
- sub-folder must be inside "frontend_dir\resources\main_icons\overlay\" base folder
- for both light mode and night mode
- use ANSI directory names only, no Unicode support
- you only need to add icons that are different than the ones from the base folder
- if an icon doesn't exist in the sub-folder, the overlay icon from the base folder will be used
- overlay icons are used in games filters tool bar and images tool bar (so far...)
- folder name is used as the icons set title
- added a "Dark Grey" icons set for the night mode; thanks to "Fabian" for creating the icons

Oh darn... I forgot to delete some beep/ding sound commands when initializing game zipped images lists
Re-added support to generate zipped snapshot thumbs in thumbnails view
- the code was removed by mistake more than a year ago when EmuCon was merged with Emu Loader, and nobody noticed, not even me
- all arcade systems are supported, "snap.zip" file; MAME also support "softwarename.zip" and "snap_sl.zip"
- Console/computer systems from EmuCon were Ok
Games list was not focused after a manual switch between light and night mode (main menu)

Changed

Minor optimizations to save some RAM when handling game image folders and improve game images preview search
Changes to "Image Category Settings" screen
- button "Default" folder was doing nothing
- category folders are now read directly from config files and not from RAM vars, which might contain different data
- relative paths in console/computer systems (from EmuCon) are now relative to the frontend root path since you can have multiple emulators per system
- minor code tweaks

Added

New "Machines List Filter" filter for "MAME Machines Filter Panel" (machines list popup menu)
- you can customize what machines appear in the list
- it works like the "Customize MAME Software List" feature
- excluded machines list is saved in "\arcade\mame_machines_exclude.txt" file
- machines are only hidden from the list, not disabled
- it's only for the machines filter panel, not for the main games list
Support for "all-in-one" zipped image files (MAME software lists only)
- you can have snaps for all MAME softlist games combined into one humongous file instead of separate "softwarename.zip" files
- filename is the same as MAME's image .zip filenames, plus a "_sl" suffix
- filename format: "snap_sl.zip", "titles_sl.zip", "covers_sl.zip", etc (all categories are supported)
- files must be located in the same place as their "arcade/machine" files (snap.zip, titles.zip, etc)
- you can use "softwarename.zip" files together with these new files
- they will be scanned after "softwarename.zip"
- easy to use, just drop files in them proper folders and start the frontend
Mulitple image paths detection (MAME only)
- only the first path will be used, ignoring everything else after the ; char (snaps, titles, cabinets, covers, etc)
- removal of surrouning quotes, just to be safe (first and last char on the string)
NOTE: there is no multi directories scan to show game preview images!
Added "\videosnaps_sl\" sub-folder scanning for video preview, MAME software lists
