Nice!

A couple of things:

Please keep the -justprint option for offline/batch use.

I'd like a sample layout file so I can support it in CPMaker.

Also, one small correction. I don't have a life.  ;D

I have changed my nickname to "Cakemeister". Please do not PM the Buddabing account because I do not check it anymore.

Please read the wiki!

Excellent!  Can't wait to take a peak.


On a side note, although I'm really glad you've put some time into Johnny5, it's sad to hear that you were missing the encouraging emails.  I guess everyone needs it everyonce in a while even if it's a little suprising coming from you.  I think with you being out for a bit, not as active on the boards, and no new stories of it's return a whole new set of people have basically missed out on your FE.  Kind of a lack of advertising really.

Even though dk is in a holding pattern, the things I've already added since the last release are actual new features, that nobody has thought of yet.  I know I'm not the best person to judge, but what I've added makes it three steps ahead of any 2d fe ever released.  When I'm finally comfortable releasing it all those who missed out will quickly wake up.  It's the first release in which explicit language will be used to describe it in a possitive manner.  ;)


I'm tearing up just reading that paragraph  :'(, I can't wait for your frontend, just did not want to bother you with emails while you are trying to program Dragon King, I log onto you site religiously just to get a snippit of your work. but alas, it has been blank for sometime now  :(.  I hope to see your monthly updates return  ;D


Keep up the good work,

Allister Fiend

wip updated.... go check it out.

(btw this will probably be the last time I mention an update until the next release so check the site regularly for updates)

On a side note, sirp and myself inputted a bunch of entries the other night which will bring the total past the 900 mark upon the next controls release.  I hoping I can get it up to 1000 before then.  :)

Minwah:

Yes I'll need your help along with half of the byoac population.  ;)  Seriously though the xml format is so flexible and there are so many things to go wrong and so many people who make them so differently there are bound to be a ton of bugs.

I'll try to make myself available in chat during the week (at night of couse) and we'll discuss the layout format.

I think you are confused budda,  I added xml support for mame's files.  The lof fomat is essentially the same, save some added   specialty tags.
