Mah!Cade:Features

Additional Features (not included in standard Wah!Cade)

• Modified wahcade.ini

General

• Fuzzy Artwork Search
  • Load artwork by fuzzy match on filename
  • Set with fuzzy_artwork_search in the wahcade.ini

• Lock File
  • This fix locks user input when launching an emulator
  • This fix locks user input for a period of time (secs) after the emulator exits.
  • Set this with lock_time in the wahcade.ini

• Additional Rom Extension Support
  • Multiple rom extensions may be specified and separated with a semicolon. (ie. smc;sfc;bin)

When a game is launch and this is recognised in the extension field of the ini the system will loop through the extensions whilst check if a file exists with each extension to set the correct extension for the launched game. It will execute the first one found

• • Empty Rom Extension field

Leaving the extension field empty will act as a wildcard and add all items in the rom path to the list. When executing a game the system will check for the first match of the rom title and execute.

• Scrolled Game List
  • Can now be shrunk to a single row. Previous limit was minimum of 4 rows.

• Non-Sequential Game Lists

Game lists in wahcade were required to be numbered sequentially. This is no longer required and mahcade will now read all lists matching the emulator name and cycle through them. This has the advantage of allowing the user to delete old list file without modifying all others or use my tool at http://www.mameau.com/listgen to build filtered lists

• Category files support for all platforms

Additional category files (catver) can be generated at http://www.mameau.com/listgen using goodtools lists or nointro dats and loaded for different platforms.

• History dat/Control panel viewer support for all platforms

If available history and cpviewer data may be used for all platforms.

• MESS xmlinfo support added
