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

version 8.0.4 change log - March 18, 2016

Fixed

Games list background image was not loading; there was a tiny 1 line code missing in the function to fix full paths when you use relative paths


version 8.0.3 change log - March 17, 2016

Fixed

Crash when changing MAME settings... this was a really old bug, introduced in my last MAME settings screen re-write
MAME Artwork path was not being read from "mame.ini" correctly, causing EL to parse filenames list from a wrong directory
MAME version info not showing up correctly in MAME settings screen on a fresh install, or if changing exe filename in Emulator Setup screen
Wrong default config file was being used if you tried to set emulator default settings from "Emulator Setup" screen (all systems, not just MAME)
Added emulator exe filename parameter in several functions to fix "file not found" and parse settings of the wrong default config file
Crash when using "Scan Missing Audio Samples" (main menu "Games List'); scanning is also a lot faster now

Changed

MAME Artwork path is now parsed from "mame.ini" everytime it needs it (no more ArtworksDir[] array var stored in RAM):
- "Run Game with Effect Overlay" (games popup menu)
- changing MAME/HBMAME settings
- select artwork files (frontend's custom "Select File" dialog)
Input path is now parsed from "mame.ini" everytime it needs it (no more InputDir[] array var stored in RAM)

Whats new:>>

Went back to the old way of initializing graphics on Android. Should fix many recent issues.
Some graphical fixes, a vertex cache performance improvement and a screen clear optimization
Fix for dual source blending on most SHIELD devices, causing graphical issues.
Fix the homebrew store incorrectly unzipping some games. This will lead to more games being added.
Slightly faster ISO handling

SOURCE CHANGES:

Added data-driven shader system for BGFX renderer:

Allows an arbitrary number of passes, with arbitrary connections between passes

Ships by default with three effects: default, unfiltered, and hlsl:

default: Simple bilinear stretch
unfiltered: Simple nearest-neighbor stretch
hlsl: A close reimplementation of the Direct3D HLSL shaders. Does not currently support bloom or vectors
Select the "shader chain" you wish to use with -bgfx_screen_chains
Adjust the settings to your liking with slider controls, saving and loading settings and presets will be added in a future version
See bgfx/chains/hlsl.json ans bgfx/hlsl/blit.json for JSON format rules

Improved Scanline Simulation:

Changed the amount of scanline darkness, a setting of 1.0 now becomes fully black (to get the same result as before, halve your current setting)
Scanline height now depends on the brightness of the underlying color
The amount of the scanline brightness and overdrive now depends on the scanline darkness
Renamed 'Scanline Screen Height' to 'Scanline Screen Scale' and Scanline Indiv. Height' to 'Scanline Height'
Fixed Bloom Level Alignment
Fixed target dimensions of bloom levels, which results in much better alignment, especially for games with very low resolutions.
Therefore, current bloom settings might appear less intense than before.
Quality and Performance improvements
HLSL now uses non-power-of-two-sized target surfaces (breaks compatibility with graphics cards based on R300/R400/NV30 and older)
HLSL target surfaces now have the size of the screen canvas
Removed HLSL pre-scale factor
HLSL now uses a sharp bilinear interpolation to pre-scale textures to screen canvas size, based on [Themaister]'s implementation
Improved overall performance. Based on the previously required pre-scale factors, speedups range 5-50% depending on graphics hardware, more if a higher prescale factor was used.
Improved shadow mask quality (pixel-perfect) in screen-mode
Fixed half source texel offset of bloom level alignment
Removed ./hlsl/artwork_support folder
All shaders after pre-scale are now based on screen coordinates workaground until both raster and vector passes can work on texture coordinates)
Disabled distortion shader for more than one screen and for artworks in full mode, does not affect artworks in cropped mode workaground until both raster and vector passes can work on texture coordinates)
at: Created at motherboard device and split PCI and PS/2 machines into
own files

UI:

Enabled user interface navigation through UI_CONFIGURE button (tab key by default).
Added support for "covers" images collection.
Added support for "gameinit.dat".
Improved ROM-less checking at startup.
Improved vertical orientation rendering.
Fixed missing mouseover highlight.
Fixed search in software lists.
Fixed DATs reload after path changes.
Fixed software load failure from BIOS submenu.
Bloom refactoring
Calculation of bloom dimensions is now done only once, when render target is created.
Reduced blur width for non-vector screens.
Implemented shadow UV option for source tile mode.
apple2gs.cpp: Dumped the 341-0749 ROM and confirmed the 341-0728 Apple IIGS ROMs.

Type-safe C++ printf analog and vector-backed iostreams:

Supports most C99, glibc, SUS and MSVCRT format specifications
Allows formatting any object with stream output operator with %s
Replaces strformat, strprintf and strcatprintf
Move to type-safe templates for logerror and popmessage
Remove now-unnecessary I64FMT from calls to logerror/popmessage
Eliminate core_i64_format functions for the most part

Modernised much of the file handling code:

Made core_file, osd_file, and avi_file and polymorphic classes
Moved osd_file implementations to shareable OSD module code
Made zip/7z implementations of archive_file with common API
Prefer destructors over explicit close functions
Made APIs supply smart pointers
Pass std::string though lots of APIs rather than C string pointers
Added methods for flushing user-space file buffers
Made archive_file create/destroy thread-safe
Fixed buffer overrun when walking zip ECD
Fixed some resource leaks in file handling code
Fixed edge cases where incorrect error code was returned on Windows
Added Solaris PTY implementation
Support ~/$FOO/${BAR} expansion with SDL OSD
Made emu_file handle zip and 7z archives identically
Search archives with CRC+path, CRC+partial path, CRC, path, partial path when loading ROMs/artwork/cheats/etc.
Added support for 7z archives via zippath API
Support 7z archives for fullpath loading and media file manager
Made romcmp tool support 7z archives

Improved OSD font API:

Release font handles on destruction
Moved font enumeration into OSD, implement for SDL, Windows, OSX
Fixed drawing characters outside Unicode BMP with sdl_ttf
Support TTC fonts with sdl_ttf
Separated font display names from configuration names
Made OSX font configuration name the PostScript face name
Made sdl_ttf configuration name Family|Style
Supply ui_small font as a BDF file with Adobe glyph names
Fixed stack smash bugs in INP read/write and better encapsulate the INP header I/O code (thanks Tafoid for reporting), fix divide-by-zero in pathological case of zero-frame recording
Fixed file naming issue when creating new image from internal file manager with media loaded (thanks BIOS-D for reporting)
Fixed many mismatched free() / delete / delete [] errors

Cleaned up primary.fx:

Split primary.fx into 3 techniques for vector buffer, screen and UI pass
Moved register_texture() for shaders outside of texture_info creation
Added render_primitive parameter to register_texture(); currently unused
Removed other unused register_texture() definition
IGS009 driver improvements: Added both missing PPI8255 devices and routed all inputs/outputs through them. Derived a memory map for Grand
Prix '98, that seems to lacks of these devices.
Rewrote input routines as modules
Reparented all sets of IGS Jingle Bell. Added technical information about the hardware

Few miscellaneous N64 changes / improvements:

Changed MemPak formatting code to better document actual format.
Avoid adjusting screen timings when VI blank video mode set.

Vista/Windows7/8/10 user note:

If you install cmpro to a protected folder like C:\program files\, you have to set the compatibility properties of cmpro.exe to 'run this program as administrator' to work correctly or you have to disable UAC. In other folders it should work fine without setting this property and without the need of disabling UAC.

Linux WINE/Mac Crossover user note:

If you got problems with the main window, set the option 'Adv_HideWindow = off' in cmpro.ini. In case you don't have a cmpro.ini yet, create one with the following two lines:
[CMPRO SETTINGS]
Adv_HideWindow = off

Source Changes:

new Android icon images
Compressed internal layouts
TMS5220/5110 merge Part 1

Recognize the full range of controller inputs
redump leapstertv
Initial Catalan translation
naomi.c: add Derby Owners II protection key
Reduce the incidence of required_device in subdevices UML: Added FCOPYI and ICOPYF instructions to pass raw data between integer and floating-point registers.
mips3: Fix behavior for 32/64 bit mode floating point register aliasing Magic10 driver: Added technical notes, game status, defined clocks, fixed inaccurate notes, and some driver cleanups.
screen: svg rendering from inside the rom.
Updated Portuguese (Brazil)
luaengine: add plugin options menu
Major Havoc: Updated Gamma CPU address decoding/mirroring from the schematic
FB01: fix ROM label to match actual chip
Magic Crystals: Improve ROM labeling for Japan set based on PCB picture, and noted that the Japan set we have is revision 2, but a revision 0 exists, undumped
TMS5220: add a 'combined rs/ws write' function for systems which require both pins to change at exactly the same time and not to reset the chip.
Revert software-installed slot/image options when changing software [AJR]
Remove emu.h's stealth include of emuopts.h through mconfig.h;
reduce dependency on emuopts.h in other headers and source files.
MCFG_CPU_FORCE_NO_DRC is now a CPU configuration parameter rather than
a global one; it still works to override the -drc option setting.
fix some missing gfx in bbusters / mechatt
Make overscan on integer scaled targets optional (add option -intoverscan).
luaengine: direct and region accessors
This one documents what I think is a real bug of the Japanese game Sports Pad Soccer: part of the player 2 input is read from player 1 input instead. Also, reorganized code of the Japanese Sports Pad controller device and replace some PORT_CUSTOM/PORT_CHANGED callbacks with PORT_READ_LINE/PORT_WRITE_LINE.
Add experimental cheat lua plugin
Improvements to tape driver of hp9845b
info.cpp: Improved documentation of input devices in the -listxml output, since having just a generic 'number of buttons' is rather pointless in the context of home systems with configurable controllers being them keyboards, keypads or joypads). Now the various controllers are listed separately with the number of buttons they have. Frontend authors who relied on the "buttons" attribute of the input node for any kind of filter shall now scan all available controllers and take the maximum among their "buttons" attribute possibly discarding keyboards and keypads if they want) to recover the old value.
info.cpp: Started to acknowledge PORT_16WAY inputs in -lx, since they were reported as 8-ways so far

Devfind revision phase 1, cleaning out some legacy stuff:

Eliminate the cached device_t::m_region pointer and its region() getter method. Devices that need to bind to a region with the same tag should use optional/required_memory_region or optional/required_region_ptr with DEVICE_SELF as the subtag; this improves error checking. (DEVICE_SELF has been moved to device.h for greater visibility in the source.)
Allow required/optional_region_ptr to specify a specific length which must match that of the region found
Implement finder_base::finder_tag() getter for diagnostic purposes Perform some (not very efficient) validity checks on memory region finders instead of allowing them to automatically pass Privatize device_memory_interface::m_addrspace
Magic 10 driver: Added technical notes and a missing PLD dump.
Added m62(kidniki) to nl.lua. Started some experiments around parallel solving of linear equations. This code is not active. Fix kidniki audio performance.
plugins/timer: add sample plugin for game time
info.cpp: first attempt to fix the longstanding issue about inputs owned by devices being always tagged as P1 inputs in -lx.
plugins/cheatfind: start lua cheat finder library
apple2: Additional work on the PC Transporter
Basic TCP server based on libuv
intv: Converted controller inputs to be slot devices.
intvecs: Converted hand controllers, keyboard and synth to be slot devices, by using a temporary hack to workaround the impossibility to plug the same device into 2 different slots as these keyboard require.
Skeleton implementation for Universal windows main app classes.
String Translate for Chinese (Traditional / Simplified)
diimage.cpp: Allow image devices to be configured with a fixed (not user selectable) piece of software and updated a few options and menu to acknowledge such possibility.
macs.cpp: Converted to use generic cartslot with fixed software configuration. Cleaned up loading and banking systems in the driver as a result.
Added extra bit as delay between bytes to make 1 stop bit work
apple2: Further PC Transporter work. V30 now boots.
mips3: Fixed DMULT and DMULTU in both interpreter and DRC modes.
ng_aes.cpp: converted AES controllers to work through slot devices. Also, separated more clearly the CD component by the base unit.
am9517: add clone with the non-standard mask behavior of the PC Transporter ASIC
apple2: updated PC Transporter to use alternate DMAC emulation & fixed V30 clock.
apple2: PC Transporter: halt V30 properly on startup, XT has 8-bit ISA, improved 6502 CGA framebuffer writes.
screen: Fix alpha handling, cdkong looks good now
bgfx: Add data-driven render target clearing

Significant speed improvement:

added a new solver using compressed row format
fixed sorting
As a result, netlist performance on kidniki nearly doubled. The performance increase is mainly due to the fact that sorting decreases the number of operations for gaussian elimination of the kidniki matrix from ~7800 to 707. In addition, compressed row format improves L1 usage.
Eliminate device_t::static_config, a type-unsafe legacy feature.
Rewrite or remove every last instance of MCFG_DEVICE_CONFIG and its two aliases, including within comments and dead code
Make the Z80/Z180 daisy chain an interface that interfaces with the existing interface. Z8000 has been hooked up to this as well (p8000_16 already configures it), but currently does nothing with it
mips3: Fixed interpreter bug where BADCOP exceptions would execute the faulting opcode twice.
Update strings.po
Update German GUI translation
Added ImGui based debugger.
apple2e: fix C800 internal ROM reading
New PlayChoice-10 BIOS (Single Screen, Freeplay fix, Newer?)
apple2: fixed inverse text drawing
Added HQ2x, HQ3x and HQ4x shaders.
soft is hard and hard is soft. Two is one and one is two. No wonder "-video accel" has substandard performance if opengl is disabled.
These init calls all returned false. No need for a return value in this case.
Iterate over devices C++11 style. Replace the old device_iterator and its specialized versions with functionally equivalent classes that use standard operators to yield references to devices/interfaces rather than pointers. With range-based for loops, they no longer have to be stored in named variables, though they can also be reused concurrently since the iteration state is now maintained by a subclass. Add a few more typical getters to device_t::subdevice_list.
bgfx: Added SuperEagle shader.
Refactored distortion pass
separated curvature parameter into distortion, cubic_distortion and distort_corner distortion and cubic_distortion can be negative, to compensate each other distort_corner is intependent from the image distortion
neogeo: reworked inputs to work through the slot device interface. you can now configure the 15-pin ports available in the multicart driver neogeo) with the -crtl1 and -ctrl2 options. Thus, if you want to launch janshin in neogeo with the mahjong control panel you shall now prescribe edge "" -ctrl1 mahjong
and set accordingly the dipswitch (the first option disables inputs from the edge connector). When you run single game drivers (e.g. mslug, or kof94, etc.), instead, a unique controller is available and cannot be modified. In particular, the janshin driver already comes pre-configured in the proper way.
Refactor OSD window.
Unified renderer in osd_window as std::unique_ptr
Made windows all std::shared_ptr Made window lists std::list Updated OSD SDL worker_param to not use malloc (not compatible with smart pointers) Made renderer pointer to window a weak reference. May not be available during destruction of the window.
Alta Tensione: Added technical notes, game status, and patched the boot protection.
Split UI and frontend part from core
Implemented dynamic loading of precompiled solver code.
saturn.cpp: converted controllers to work through slot devices, cleaning up the related code.
saturn.cpp: Added support for SegaTap adapter (4 controllers) and Sega Multitap adapter (6 controllers). Saturn Bomberman can now be played as intended.
softlist.cpp: add support for "rom_ignore".
itgambl2.cpp driver: Added technical notes and some clean-ups
apple2: fixed Apple II J-Plus text drawing, and updated notes
r9751: add more floppy debugging and fix DMA masking
ioport.cpp: extended core input to support up to 10 players.
dumped Dreamcast bios MPR-21933, confirmed match MPR-21931
sf.c: does not have COIN3, and protection MCU on sfj is an i8751
cgenie.cpp: expanded .cas support so that also files created by Genieous emulator can be loaded.
Added "selection" parameter to chain input sampler
if specified all textures (.png) within the same directoy of the given texture will be selectable via slider in the UI also added slider for "shadow mask tile mode" to HLSL chain
bgfx: Ported xBR shaders from libretro.

tourvis.cpp: changed to use Software Lists, trimmed all ROMs to correct sizes, confirming that the majority match exactly the PCE roms (only 3 differ, Gomola Speed which could be an alt revision, R-Type II which has been hacked, and Be Ball where there is an unknown single byte change.

Changelog

Fixed

App crash when trying to read/write "language" setting in "mame.ini" (MAME Settings screen)
Selected game docs texts were parsed twice at startup ("mameinfo.dat" and others); startup is 1 second faster...
When the frontend is all setup (emulators already selected), if an emulator executable is not found at startup you couldn't select a new file, forcing you to edit "eldit\ini_files\folders_emulators.ini" manually or make a clean install
Control Type filter was adding blank control names into the ComboBox (Miscellaneous filter, tool bar buttons)
If "ini_files\folders_emulators.ini" read fails at startup, EL would re-write existing "EmuLoader.ini", changing some frontend settings to their default values

Changed

Deleted extra TPanel component from game docs panel (not needed); moved game docs panel below the image panel in project's source code
Replaced a bunch of Pos() function calls by the faster asm optimized function PosEx()
Grouped all controls and players info texts for easier reading ("Game Details" screen)
File "ini_files\control_type.ini" updated to include new control tags for MAME v0.173; a bunch of unused entries were also removed
madExcept library now shows error messages automatically

Removed

Support for MAME Plus! is no more... you can still use it to create a games list and play games, but do not use emulator/game settings or EL might crash and/or damage "mame.ini" contents

Added

MAME/HBMAME save state info is back; you must create a new games list to use this
- to filter by save state, go to the "Miscellaneous" filter in main tool bar buttons
- this info/filter is available for MAME/HBMAME only; other emulators are not supported
- software lists are not supported since they can be used by different machines, and their save state values may differ
- info is shown in "Game Details" screen, nowhere else
Support for MAME v0.173
- huge update to the "input" / "control" tags in -listxml output; future changes in the frontend might be necessary
- the "buttons" tag is not separated by player; frontend's "buttons count fixed (do not merge all players buttons...)
- buttons count for keyboards, keypad and other controls are now added to the buttons count info (might change in the future)
- new settings
