New updates! It now auto-setup's itself if you put all the files in the MAME folder. Also, a few problems fixed. I still have some stuff to fix, but its working pretty nicely. |

Looks Great Nice simple clean design I was able to get it to work with a little tweaking and it looks very promising Just a few bugs to report: 1 - After unziping and running the GLgen and then running the MYFE.EXE there are no games in the games.dat for some reason the myfe.ini sets the gamelist path to Gamelist=C:\mame\myfe.ini even after changing it to Gamelist=C:\mame\games.txt it still doesn't work. The only way I was able to get it to work was to extract the updated .exe and .ini over the old files, also even after doing this if I delete the contents of the games.dat I have to extract the files over again to get it to work. 2 - I tried changing the font size and style in the skinner and it keeps defaulting back to the original I saved and reopened the skin to see if the changes stayed and they do. I also changed the skin to read only, but once I run the frontend it reverts back to the default font and size EDIT: I was able to get this to work by adding the .myf extention to the file when I saved it. The only problem now is that the skinner doesn't compensate for the larger font so the gamelist ends up over lapping each other 3 - The games.dat file is reporting the wrong game names for the actual roms available Donkey Kong/dkong is being reported as donkey kong jr. (moon cresta hardware) missile command/missile is being reported as guided missile I only put a few roms in the folder so there may be others but im not sure. Also I am aware the missile command is horz, I just threw a couple of roms in the folder for testing purposes an that just happend to be one of them. Great looking frontend Keep up the nice work Thanks Rodney |

The way I programmed it, that's kind of unexpected. I'll look at that. The second part of this, where you say you changed it to "C:\mame\games.txt" is only because you need to reset the RunTwice key back to zero. --- Quote ---2 - I tried changing the font size and style in the skinner and it keeps defaulting back to the original I saved and reopened the skin to see if the changes stayed and they do.

It's a huge PITA, but I'll get around to focusing on it soon. They skins do need the .myf extension to be used, otherwise they will not work. --- Quote ---3 - The games.dat file is reporting the wrong game names for the actual roms available Donkey Kong/dkong is being reported as donkey kong jr.

It has never happened to me before. Thanks for the feedback! EndTwist |
