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.

    Fixed:

    Media type of Daphne games was not set to "Disc"
    Game icons/systems TImageList containers were not emptied before reloading icons
    Hint box colors of image panel #4 were not updated after exiting preferences screen
    Game files of many MAME software list games were not recognized, tagging the game as "Game With No ROMs" ("a800.xml" software list for one)
    Tweaks to prevent splash screen from hiding/showing multiple times when creating games / auditing games; this fix also prevents the timer from resetting

    Changed:

    First atempt to set the correct media type icon for MAME arcade games with CHD files (HDD, Disc, Compact Flash Card, Game Video Tape VHS)
    Added an extra "ArcadeCHD_MediaType" game info tag just for this; tag is set when loading the ROMs database
    The new media type icons are used everywhere: game status bar, run game dialog, last played games, delete game snapshot dialog, thumbnails view and others
    HDD media type is set for games with multiple CHD files (HDD, CD, flash card) if at least one of them is HDD
    You must re-create MAME games list to update the frontend ROMs database files
    Improvements to the thumbnails view
    Icons are no longer drawn in the thumb image
    Icons are handled as overlays and, from now on, they are drawn in the top/left or top/right of the cell (depending on the "align" setting)
    Added a "Media Type Icon" to the mix
    The system icon for MAME software lists is now the UME icon ("emu_ume.ico"), so you know that it's a MAME game but not arcade
    When changing icons settings but not the thumb cell dimensions, only the icons are updated in main games list; thumbnails already created no longer have to be re-created
    New setting "Show Icons With No Thumbnail", will display the overlay icons (system, game, media, favorite) even if no thumbnail is available
    Media type icon is now drawn after the system icon, moved the game icon below it
    New media/game/favorite icon size drop-down selection, no more fixed 24x24 size
    Further tweaks to the night mode

    Added:

    New alternate sub-folders for frontend icons, arcade/console/computer systems and arcade games icons so you don't have to replace frontend's default icons
    Toggle alternate icons on/off with the new "Use Alternate Frontend Icons" setting in main menu
    Console/computer system icons go in a new "frontend_dirconsole_computersystem_iconsalternate" folder
    Frontend icons and arcade system icons go in a new "frontend_dirresourcesmain_iconsalternate" folder
    Arcade game icons go in a new "frontend_dirresourcesgameslist_iconsalternate" folder
    Message box icons go in a new "frontend_dirresourcesmain_iconsmsgbox_iconsalternate" folder

    NOTES:

    Tool bar filter icons, image category icons and image layout icons are not supported (basically all icons that use overlay icons)
    All icons must be 32-bits color depth (RGB + alpha channel)
    All required resolution icons must be added to the .ico file, or the frontend will show an "icon not found" error message
    If you enable alternate icons without having them, the frontend will load the default ones
    New media type: "Video Game Music"
    Initially used in MAME's "VGM Player" software list
    New icon file "resourcesmain_iconsmedia_videogamemusic.ico"
    New feature: "Special" tag
    You can tag a game for any reason: finished games, games you want to play, games you hate, games you are playing, games you want to hide...
    Games list is stored in a new "ini_filesspecial.txt" file and the file format is the same as favorites files so if you are using favorites list for things like this, you can safely copy and rename the favorite profile to this new filename
    There's a new column in details/grouped view named "Special"
    Add/remove games to/from special list in games popup menu (below "Add/Remove Favorite" menu items)
    Filter the games list with the new drop-down filter "Special List" in "Miscellaneous" tool bar filter
    You can enable/disable the special icon for thumbnails view ("thumbnail settings" screen)
    You can modify this new icon to your needs ("resourcesmain_iconsspecial.ico" file)
    Night colors support for image hint boxes (preferences screen, "Night Mode 2" page)
    Separate colors from light mode
    Settings saved in "nightmode.ini" file
