What's News

Checks put into the cheatcode database checker to let you know if the file is to big or has too many game entries and needs to be split up.

Fixed an issue where the preset controller settings were not saved properly (sorry guys. :( ). This only effects certain emus with preset controller definitions.

Synopsis code completely rewritten to support the new synopsis format. Old synopsis.txt file is now officially defunct! :P

Another new option "Use Default Emu Filter?". This will apply a preset filter custom designed for each emu core. It is also used internally by the synopsis code so user interaction is not required in some cases (like when a .zip file contains an IPS/UPS patch or movie file).

Added back in the "Text screensize/position" code. I didnt get to do much testing with this. Since the emu remembers settings individually for each resolution it is possible there are a few kinks that need to be worked out.

Modified L/R file scrolling so it doesnt kick of the movie so quickly. Hopefully this will fix interference from movies being accessed from a samba or relax share.

Fixed long standing issue with "Autoload last savestate" where it could potentially pick the wrong savestate. Of course it also helps to make sure your xbox date is set correctly. :P

Now have the ability to display long names for games. This currently relies on having Xtras synopsis files. In the future I will be providing other options.

Fixed issue where emu would lock up if the media directory path was longer that 36 characters. (Thanks to those who reported it an AMOC for testing for me)

Screen size and position settings werent always being restored properly this primarily affected emu's that use preset controllers and in particular games defined as using a particular preset controller.

File select now has the ability to filter extensions. Only relevant files are seen. If only one match is found with the extension filter it will simply unzip that file.

Set Game Screen Size/Position now has the same options as "Override Game Screen Size (Global)". So you can use these when setting Game Screen Size position in game or from the main menu.

(fixed) Screen size and position settings werent always being restored properly this primarily affected emu's that use preset controllers and in particular games defined as using a particular preset controller.

Tweaked the synopsis word wrap so the left/right margins are a little more even.

New filename sort code. Filenames should sort properly. No more need to add a I, II, or III to filenames to get them to sort right!

Fixed bug where viewing the synopsis in the in-game menu, and then going back to the favorites list could cause a crash.

Now only displays valid available video modes (set in dash) in the "Video Mode" select screen.

"Lock Game Screen Size For All Games" added. Options are "Full screen" ( +/- 20 or so on top/bottom/left/right of screen), "Size to Fit (Keep Ratio)", "Pixel Perfect", and "Custom".

The interface now keeps track of all screen size settings for all video modes. This is for all individual games. It will also auto adjust the size for all video modes if "Override Game Screen" is activated in some form. This also opens up the possibility of allowing different video modes for different games.

Minimum sound volume bumped up to something more reasonable. That way if you do accidently lower the volume it wont take as long to get it back. :P

1st of kid protection measures implemented. Password protect added in the "Configuration" menu. Right now the options are "No", "Configuration Only", "Skin Menu Only" and "Configuration & Skin Menu". Password is 10 buttons presses max. Acceptable buttons are A, B, X, Y, WHITE, BLACK, BACK, Dpad Up, Dpad Down, Dpad Left, Dpad Right, Lstick, and Rstick. Password is stored (non encrypted) in the .ini file for those of you who set it and forgot what it is. It even has a nice key to tell you what the characters mean.. :D

Media browser will properly back out now if you are in a ZIP file and press B to exit out.

Numerous fixes to prevent controller button presses from making their way back to the game when you are done (still needs some work)

Fixed lockup when viewing a certain number of FAQs or the same FAQ several times. Stupid me forgot to dealloc the buffer after exiting.

Fixed lockup that would occur when you tried to edit a action replay cheat code.

Fixed problem where you could get stuck in the media browser and not get out (happened when you had media browser mapped to a key)

Remove all the annoying questions when you switch to 480p and higher video modes. X-port code has detected and auto switched to lower resolutions for some time now. If someone could verify this for me just to be sure. :P

Modified the media browser so that when viewing images (e.g. manuals or maps) that it will try reverting to 480p in order to view the manual if it will not load if you are at 720p or higher.

Controller presses are cleared on savestate load/save that way nothing will accidently happen when you go back to the game (used for show savestate screen = yes)

Fixed issue with wrong screen coming up when "Always display save state menu" is set to yes.

"Change default directories" and "Set Default Game Configuration" no longer show up on the ingame menu.
