HTML5 FrontEnd
Le Chuck:
Why did .png change to .gif for the emulator images?
Went into main.html and just ctrl+H all the .gif but the background.gif into .png. Man that default starfield is rough in the html 4, I'm going to redo my animation and run that for now.
Getting it all setup, will let you know how it goes once I transfer it to the WXP64 build.
Update:
Doesn't work on WXP64. Shows the HTML5 bootscreen then freezes on white. I ensured it was set to HTML classic (4) before transferring it.

Good morning from Greece Le Chuck! :)
I have tested the FE on Windows XP (32bit) and it does work!
The problem is that the older versions of internet explorer (like the one on Windows XP) do not support transparent png images (only gif)
The frontend will freeze if you don't provide some gif images (if you changed to png, you must edit all the html files and make sure the images are there)
edit: Also make sure windows media player is installed. When using HTML4, windows media player is used for audio/video playback. In some slim/light editions of windows XP, windows media player is removed!
Did you test the setup on Windows XP before making any changes (meaning even if you keep the default emulators) and run it as it is?
PS. The HTML4 starfield effect will change and it will be optimized. This is the first attempt :)
edit: I have uploaded a new beta version (4.1) with few optimizations to the HTML4 starfield effect
Le Chuck:
Gotcha, I'll reformat the images and give it a run this evening. Good news on the update, hope it works!!!
arximidis:
As I said before each time and with each request or problem we make the software better
I will add an option to select the image type between png and gif in the settings dialog
Also today I will work on the QT to see if it's possible to fix the sound problem and the crashes
arximidis:
:woot
I just had an idea!!!
In some things QT version is better and in some other things IE version is better. So, I thought... Why not combine them?
There is no need to have two separate versions. One will do
Recently I did such a combination for a machine at work for which a new FrontEnd was needed. I used a combination of my HTML FrontEnd. It worked fantastic!!!
