The Fantastic ROM Indexer (FRI), a multi-emulator frontend/ROM indexer.

 

With thousands of ROMs from a multitude of various consoles, it can get a bit difficult to just pick out a game to play and play it. With FRI, all of your ROMs show up in one list, and finding a ROM to play is as easy as typing in part of the name. For a more advanced search, the user can even filter down the list by platform, language, number of players, ratings that they have given to the ROMs, etc. Starting the game is as easy as a double-click on the ROM, because emulators can be directly integrated into FRI by the user.

 

Change log:

 

- New "FRI User Settings.xml" file for storing user settings

- Change: the last search is not stored in the new user settings file

- New feature: the user can now rearrange the columns in the main FRI window

- New feature: the selected columns and sorting are now saved when FRI is closed, and reloaded when FRI is opened.

- Fix: When a Library Folder is removed, the associated ROMs will once again be removed. (This was not the case in the previous version of FRI)

- Fix: ROMs with very long file names no longer crash FRI when FRI is scanning for ROMs. Now in many cases the ROMs will be added anyway, and in other cases FRI will simply skip that ROM, informing the user of the error by adding a dummy ROM to the list with "!!! error when finding roms: " as the name, where is the error message.

- New Feature: FRI now reports any error messages that occur when it loads, and gracefully closes. Before if there was an error on load, the user would often have to kill the process with Task Manager.
