Version 0.3.0 of MAMENace is here. You need (as usual) to convert the JPG in the "Pieles" folder to BMP and put the history.dat in the same folder of the emulator. Joystick Usage: Up & Down = Move List * 1 Left & Right = Move List * 10 Button 1 = Start Game Button 2 = Select Filter Button 3 = Select Platform (MAME, SNES, Genesis, etc) Button 4 = View game history (if supported) You need to edit mamenace.ini to use YOUR emulators, and add your games (use the [Insert] key to do this Right now, you cant delete games form the Front-End, you can specify properties of a game pressing [F2] key. Quit using [Esc] key Comments are welcome http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=73658.0;attach=90723 |

I'm getting a "access violation" error. Personally, I don't like names that have "MAME" or "CADE" in them, so I wish your frontend was named something different, like just "Menace". Lastly, if you want your frontend to be for general use, you might want it to have a bilingual option. |

Try downloading these ini files down there and replacing the ones on the frontend folder --- Quote from: Cakemeister on December 01, 2007, 10:21:04 am ---Personally, I don't like names that have "MAME" or "CADE" in them, so I wish your frontend was named something different, like just "Menace". --- End quote --- The name is not even definitive...buty i like it. I might rename it Chipi-Chipi (those from argentina that spend summer vacations in Claromecó will understand ;)) --- Quote from: Cakemeister on December 01, 2007, 10:21:04 am ---Lastly, if you want your frontend to be for general use, you might want it to have a bilingual option. --- End quote --- True, but i was focus in makin it basic functional. Then i will add those options, of course, to make easy to oher people to use it. The frontend is basicaly to put in the "some where in the future" cabinet i will make. But i'm posting here just in case someone like it or find it useful, and give me feedback about it. |

Updated version 0.3.1 Now includes translation support as suggested for Cakemeister When starting, the programs loads (if exists) the file lang.ini, then translate all the text using it. You can translate that file to other languajes. It's in żenglish? i traslate myself so espect no good. If you screw things up in lang.ini (or you know well spanish but not so well english) you can load in notepad the file original.lang.ini (wich is in spanish) and save it as lang.ini and then translate it. Preserve original.lang.ini intact, just in case.... When doing the translation, dont delete %p, %i, %t, %e you found there. They will be replaced by the program at runtime with "the platform name", "the selected game number", "the total games in category" & "the emulator used" The categories names are not translated, because they are not a fixed part of the program, you define your own categories (in your own laguage) in the mamenace.ini under the "Categorias" section. Translate, add or delete as needed, but always place a letter (and only one) before the equals sign. Example: --- Code: ---A=Figthing B=Race C=SHMUPS D=Puzzle E=Old School --- End code --- This version fix a couple of small bugs also, nothing big The attached file includes: *) The folder structure for the screenshots (for MY ini file) *) The skins in the "Pieles" folder as JPG (convert to BMP before use) *) My ini files (edit as you need) *) The lang.ini and original.lang.ini files *) The executable file, of course! *) The names.dat and clones.dat files For space reasons, it dont includes: *) Any screenshot *) The history.dat file (you must copy yours to the program folder) |
