Emulators 0.13 (23/1/2024) (4 Viewers)

@Brownard
I added a game icon "DefaultGame.png" instead of the video icon as the FallbackSource to the TE skin folder, no need to place the image in the plugin.
If you exchange this file, all views will refer to it. . Maybe something for next version

I have also configured the new version. Once done for one emulator with help of the wiki documentation it's easy for the others.
So far all emulators work perfectly (N64, SNES, MegaDrive, DreamCast, PC)
This is far the best emulator package on market now. Another argument to use MP2

I found a small visual glitch in BlueVision skin, that makes only 2 rows visible in GridView.


In https://github.com/brownard/MediaPo...hemes/default/styles/EmuMediaStyles.xaml#L148
following should be added

MaxHeight="{StaticResource MEDIA_POSTER_HEIGHT}"

to ensure, that always 3 rows are visible.

@Borwnard I also added the game fallback icon for BV default and Win10 theme to the main skin. You need just to change the images also to gameDefault.png.

Everything is working perfectly, just one thing I didn't understand completely yet.
There are small boxes popping up (E.g. "End" in screenshot) when pressing a button. Sometimes it seem to be a hint about a possible action, but I'm not really sure about it.
Could you explain the meaning? Is It possible to deactivate them? It's not a big deal, but sometimes they disturb a bit

No idea, it's not something I've added
I can only assume it's the libretro core displaying it, are you able to reproduce it consistently? If so I can investigate it my end.

Edit: It's being displayed by MP2 because your controller mapping is interfering with the default key mapping in MP2. The "end" is displayed because the same key is used to skip the player forward, MP2 is helpfully informing you that as far as it's concerned you are already at the end of the "video" (I'd never seen that dialog until now).

This highlights a current problem with the plugin, I need a way to be able to "intercept" the default key mappings, I've always used a gamepad here which only works well because MP2 doesn't currently have very good support for additional input devices. I'll need to have a think and investigate a good way of implementing it...

Yeah, I use keyboard at the moment, because it's my working PC. Before I install MP2 on my living room PC with Gamepad I'm waiting for MIA rework and a final version of the Input Manager.
Thanks for your feedback, so I know it least I won't have the problems with a Gamepad!

Is the Emulators v0.4 compatible with the MIA rework.
After installing, I can not add Emulators any more. Here extract from Error logs:

Is the Emulators v0.4 compatible with the MIA rework.

No, it makes use of the importer and ML which has changed a lot in the MIA branch, I'll update it when development of MIA has settled down a bit more.

Is it possible to use Downloaddata with other languages then english. i'm looking for a german games site. I found a site here http://www.gametdb.com - it use the internal Nintendo ID for exacty results.

Or in a other way: Is it possible a google tanslate api update the only english data zu other languages.
