Changed:
- You no longer have to run your own -listinfo on your MAME executable, ultraconfig has a button that does all the work for you.
- The MyRomInfo/Catlist options tab in ultraconfig is now called the Filter options tab.
- I have moved some things around in ultraconfig, to make room for future options, the Command Line Parameters textbox is now on the Main options tab. The RomPath information is now located only on the Filter options tab.
- ultraconfig reads the favorites information differently now, after re-running MyRomInfo, or installing a new version of ultrastyle, you should not have to re-do your favorites. If installing to a new version, copy your favorites.ini to the ultrastyle\cfg\ directory and you should be all set.
Fixed:
- removed the "empty" marquee from Favorites or Sub-category startup.
Added:
- With the addition of running the -verifysets switch on MAME, ultrastyle now weeds out the Non-working ROMs.
- ultraconfig creates Non-working.txt and places it in your ultrastyle\cfg\ directory so that you have a readable list of your Non-working ROMs.
- You can now enter multiple ROM directories into ultraconfig if you have ROMs in more then 1 place.
- There is an option to hide all clones in ultrastyle, this will effect All Games and Sub-categories, but not your Favorites.
- There is a new Marquee style to choose from. The original is now called rounded and the new one is called rounded outline.
- Choose from trackball or spinner modes for the mouse up-down vs. left-right to move the wheel.
- Attract mode games can now be configured through ultraconfig.

F Y I, InfranView (http://www.irfanview.com/) is a great (free) graphics viewer/manipulator that can do batch resizing (of, oh, say.. marquees?).

yeah either resize all marquees to 256x256 or 256x128. This will make the wheel spin faster buit even more imortent more evenly.
Wow Ultrastyle you really are on a roll...this was the first I installed after the initial release and it works just great! :D

Thanks guys, I have really been putting a lot of time into it. and 256x128 would be the best resoulution for the marquees I think for any of you out there thinking of resizing.. I have definitely added a lot since v1.0.

Hey Chris,
I haven't tried it yet but does ultrastyle support lower resolution for people using a 15khz arcade monitor? I'm using an ArcadeVGA and a 25" arcade monitor. Right now I am using Mamewah which can run at 640x288, can ultrastyle do this as well?
thanks

I have a graphic test download that will tell you all of the resolutions that are acceptable to run in... it basicly tests if the resolution will support 3d, my nvidia geforcefx 5600 has like 32 or 36 supported modes, really it's not that many resolutions though, it breaks it up into 16 and 32 bit. i.e. mode 1 640x480x16, mode 2 640x480x32. I do know of 1 user using ArcadeVGA. Enjoy,
Chris
