Faster MAME list update

Much faster initial load and caching of emulator databases

 

1st April, 2009 - GameEx 9.95

 

GameEx 9.95 brings what I think is one of the nicest core features implemented in quite some time. Via en emulator map configuration file (available from the start menu group or in the config folder) specific mame games or mame game types can be configured to launch with other emulators in GameEx. Daphne is also supported. This I believe is similar in function to MultiMame. The feature is quite powerfull and should support any scenario where you wish to use an alternate version of MAME or a faster or woriking emulator. Also with this release the MAME list update has been optimized and is a fair bit faster. There is a new hibernate option on the exit menu, and a new custom input feature to allow shutdown or hibernate of the pc with a key combo. Finally the theme editor has been updated (thanks Ben) with a new option to hide the game info/selected item text. No April fools joke this year. Just a cool GameEx update

BBC Micro and Master 128 Emulator

 

Version 4.0 (Mike Wyatt, Rob O'Donnell, Steve Pick)

-----------

* Added clipboard functionality from the Mac port. Clipboard can be set as destination for printer output, copy and paste menu options for BASIC programs.

* Added file import/export for DFS disc images loaded into BeebEm. The exported files use the standard archive format where .INF files store the file attributes.

* Added support for disc, state and tape file specific preferences. When loading a file from the command line, running a disk image or loading a state file BeebEm will check for Preferences.cfg and Roms.cfg files in the same folder as the image file. This makes it easier to set up different preferences for different programs.

* Added ALT-ENTER keypress to toggle fullscreen mode.

* Creation of registry entries at installation:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BeebEm\InstallPath

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BeebEm\Version

* Reduced the tape control window size so it fits on a Netbook screen.

* Added Rob's IP options for serial port emulation. Allows connection via TCP/IP to local or remote IP address. Incoming connections can be supported via utilities such as tcpser.

* Debugger enhancements from Steve:

- User-defined breakpoints and watches.

- Break on BRK instruction.

- Support for loading VICE format label files, as generated by LD65 - this lets you use text labels in place of addresses in all debugger commands.

- Memory map file allows short descriptions for memory ranges. Debugger will use this to describe what location it's entered OS code at, or where the break landed.

- Commands to toggle various UI checkboxes.

- Command to echo a line of text to debugger output.

- Debugger commands can now be loaded from a script file specified on the BeebEm command line (with -DebugScript). Simple comments are also supported.

- Sanitized some code, added DisplayDebugInfoF(format, ...) to output formatted debugging info, sprintf() style.

- Beautified the debugging UI a bit.

Plugin

Glide64 is a graphics plugin for N64 emulators such as Project64, 1964 and Mupen64. It uses the 3dfx Glide3x API, and it supports many games. If you don't have a 3dfx card, you can use a Glide Wrapper.

 

Lenth of Truth for Zelda MM was broken in previous release. I finally found time to fix it. Also this release contains fixes for Beetle Adventure Racing, Mortal Kombat 4, PGA European Tour and may be others.
