Muutokset v7.7.2 - v7.7.3

• Fixed
• Tons of Neo-Geo games were left out of the 'Neo-Geo' filter for HBMAME as there are lots of different driver names for Neo-Geo hacks ('NeoGeo' device sets are not included!)
• Tons of CPS-1 games were left out of the 'CPS-1' filter for HBMAME; added support for 'cps1mis' driver name; CPS-1 hacks now appear in the list
• Some PGM 2 games were left out of the "PGM' filter; added 'pgm2.c' driver detection
• Windows themes disabled in checkboxes (SEGA Model 2 Settings screeen)
• Horizontal scroll bar visible when CHD files are shown (Game Details screen)
• Crazy flickering in TLabel controls when using with TGaugeBar controls
• If emu default settings file (mame.ini and others) for AlterMAME is not found, EL would not auto-create the file for AlterMAME, but for MAME (main menu "AlterMAME Default Settings" and games popup menu "AlterMAME Custom Settings)
• Bios entry '[Use Default]' was not sticking at the top of the list (MAME/HBMAME Settings screen, Miscellaneous tab)
• If you have multiple folders in 'inipath' entry (mame.ini), EL would force the use of 'mame_dir\ini\' no matter what. This is now fixed, but only the first folder will be used
• eg.: inipath c:\emu\mame\mycustom_ini;.;ini
• EL will use 'c:\emu\mame\mycustom_ini' as MAME's ini folder
• eg.: inipath .;ini;c:\emu\mame\mycustom_ini
• EL will fallback to 'mame_dir\ini\' as MAME's ini folder (no support for '.' folder path)
• Error 'Cannot focus an invisible window' when switching between grouped view and other view modes

• - detection of discrete audio type for bios/device sets
• - detection of samples entry for device sets
• - detection of display info for device sets
• - improved detection of discrete audio entries to maintain compatibility with older and new MAME builds
• - all games with driver name '???discrete???' will be tagged as discrete audio; for UME
• - some code optimization to remove duplicated code
• Catlist filter 'PinMAME' renamed to 'Mechanical' ('Misc' tool bar button), and catver.ini scan is now done by a 'mechanic' tag instead of 'pinmame' to maintain compatiblity with older and new Catlist files
• Catlist filter 'Fruit Machines' ('Misc' tool bar button) are now also filtered with categories that contain 'reel' tag (for Catlist v0.159 and newer); 'fruit' tag is still checked to maintain compatibility with older Catlist files
• Updates to the multi-games loading feature (select multiple games of the same system and run with MAME):
• - broken feature... now it works again
• - Neo-Geo compatible games list renamed from 'neogeo.ini' to 'multicart_neogeo.ini'

• - new 'OpenGL' and 'BGFX' options in 'Video Output Mode'; MAME v0.159 minimum required
• - new 'SDL 2 Accel' and 'BGFX' options in 'Video Output Mode'; SDLMAME v0.159 minimum required
• - new setting: "Provider for UI Font" (Miscellaneous tab)
• - you can no longer customize folders for custom game settings (rom_path, ini_path, artwork_directory, etc...); only available on emulator default settings
• - when creating custom game settings, Emu Loader will read a list of config files, so settings from previous files are loaded and overwritten, just like MAME does when loading a game. From top to bottom:
• - mame.ini; ume.ini; hbmame.ini; emufilename.ini; etc...
• - debug.ini
• - vertical.ini (if game screen is vertical)
• - horizont.ini (if game screen is horizontal)
• - arcade.ini (UME only)
• - console.ini (UME only
• - computer.ini (UME only)
• - othersys.ini (UME only; this filename and its purpose is a mistery to me!)
• - vector.ini (if game is vector)
• - source\sourcefile.ini or sourcefile.ini
• - biosname.ini
• - parentgame.ini (if game is clone)
• - gamename.ini
• Notes:
• - every time you click on "Reload Settings" button, all these files are reloaded, starting from mame.ini
• - if you create a custom settings for say... Vector games, files below vector.ini are ignored (as it should be...)
• - there's a new "Reset to Default" button, that reset settings to emulator default, ignoring all custom files
• - new feature 'Validate All Custom Files on Save': when saving custom settings back, EL will compare current settings with all previous files (if found), to make sure these settings are not duplicated and to keep custom files clean;
• keep this setting disabled to validate settings only against emulator default settings (mame.ini; ume.ini; etc)
• - SDLMAME/SDLUME/SDLHBMAME auto-detection function updated to search for 'sdlvideofps' entry in 'sdlmame.ini'; 'sdlume.ini'; etc
• - select folder for fonts added back, multiple folders supported (Folders tab)
• - select folder for debugger comments added back (Folders tab)
• - replaced TListView by a regular TEdit control for 'Controllers Definitions' folder, 'Crosshair Files' folder, 'Sample Sets' folder; multiple folders are still supported
• - replaced TEdit control by TListView for 'Ini Files' folder; easier to move folders around...
• - removed "custom screen name" edit box as screen names in the format "\\.\DISPLAYn" are safe to use
• Driver 'timeplt' (Time Pilot), 'tp84' (Time Pilot '84), 'circusc' (Circus Charlie GX380) added to the 'Konami Old School 2 (80s)' filter
