(Old) My Emulators (3 Viewers)

[Chreekar]

I have added a Favourite checkbox in the game database and a view that only shows these games. Later I will make an option to go directly to the favourites list when starting the plugin, and an option on the context menu (F9) to make the game a favourite directly in the plugin so that you don't have to enter the configuration every time.

another sugestion: emulator settings (like executabla paths, rom paths etc etc should be universal for future versions of myemulators and there should be possibility to save this file separatelly in txt or xml file (i.e. for reinstall mp) because at now wen i just delete database file i must again spend 10-15 minutes for add all my emulators

Unfortunately, you must delete the database file every time with the SVN version (at least until I release it as a sharp version, after that I will build in an upgrader so that the content of the database is persistent). I might do something like you suggest in the future.

- When I click on the button "More views..." the window isn't translated.

It should be... These strings in the xml file translate that window:

I think I haven't explained well.



I can't see the thumbs of the games yet, but they are in the same place...
any suggestions?

Gamingexpert, please have a look around and update the FAQ if there is anything you feel needs to be added before I distribute it as an MPI through the website.

i'll try to check it out soon. for now though, i had a look at EmuAutoConf.cs and had a couple of filetypes to add so could you update these lines:

filterDictionary.Add("zsnesw.exe", "*.smc;*.fig");

filterDictionary.Add("Project64.exe", "*.n64;*.z64;*.v64;*.rom");

and about ePSXe, does anybody know if the proper way to launch the games is through their .cue file? i think that might be the case, but if you just add that filetype to the list then games might show up twice (like for an iso and a cue) or if you remove the other filetypes and only have the .cue filetype then if people dont have a cue file then their games wont show up at all...

TheOncleJuna: you have right i dont see this text before. So there's next little bug

Im still waiting for CTRL+F in MP
I make a new translation file (incl favourities).
Favourities are great idea. Thanks for this Chreekar

Another req - hidden folders should be ignored by MyEmulators. Because in Amiga Emulator (WinUAE) in folder Configuration (who is used as roms folder) there are two folders who cannot be deleted ("Hardware" and "Host" after deleting WinUAE create both again) so when im using "configuration" folder as my rom folder for winuae i have this two folders beetwen amiga games.


Is there possibility of /center/ text under icons when selected view are icons or large icons?
Configuration window should be able to maximize (because of database viewing)

Just downloaded and installed the latest plugin version. The emulator has a new ID now? And the skin .xml has some changes too? Because the current skins don't work with this version of the plugin...

Another BIG bug

When Myemulators are in HOME and when im pickink anything from main menu by pressing up arrow (or up on remote) a MP screen goes to flick and flashing. It isnt happend when plugin are set "IN PLUGINS" first i think it's something wrong with MP but i reinstall all and always when MyEmus are in home and when im presing up arrow twice or more a MP is unable to use (because of screen flickering and flashing) and when MyEmus are in config everything is OK

 

[Chreekar]

Thanks for all the input! I will be travelling a bit now, but I'll try to fix everything the coming week or so.

TheOncleJuna: Do you mean that the word "Menu" in the upper left corner isn't translated? That is not set in my plugin but in MP, so you need to change the language of MP to show a different text there.

emphatic: Yeah, new ID and skin file.

Chreekar: it isnt "MENU" word a problem. A clue is with "More Views" (after MENU) sentence who isnt translated
Click on the screen by TheOncleJuna - there are two circles a left circle is translated "more views" to spanish. a right circle isnt translated.


edited:

hmm i was wrong to the flickering of menu are even when MyEmulators are in plugins, but it happens sparsely

edit:

im sure a reason of flicking is somewhere in myemu plugin, because when im disabling this plugin a problem disapearing

 

[Chreekar]

My bad, you are right. I had forgotten to make that heading translatable, and I couldn't see the big image when I clicked on the thumbnail. I've uploaded the changes. There is no new entry in the translation file, but you need to remove the dots in the end of "More views..." since I add them with code.

Hey Chreekar,

By Emphatic's request (thanks for that, always into new plugins ) I started out doing some skinning for Aeon Wide.
I came across a couple things which I don't get:

- There's stuff in the configuration which you can fill in (such as companyname, year etc) but there's nothing alike in the default blue3wide skin files? Could you make a list of variables so I can do a proper job?
- When skinning everything totally broke down all of a sudden. It was caused by me removing this bit of XML:

<control>
<type>image</type>
<description>description background</description>
<id>39</id>
<posX>60</posX>
<posY>320</posY>
<width>190</width>
<height>205</height>
<texture>Playing_cover.png</texture>
</control>

I removed this because it didn't show anywhere, so I thought it was useless. However when I removed this I pressed F5 (refresh plugin) to see if it still worked and then it did. When restarting MP and going to emulators (so not refreshing or whatever) MyEmulators throws tons of errors.
What's this used for? I couldn't get it to show anywhere
