[QUOTE="Chreekar, post: 348881, member: 26713"] The SVN versions definitely have bugs, and that's why I'm not calling them releases. The releases are the ones I put up on the web page, and they should be stable. Anyway, I've made a major upgrade and uploaded it to the SVN. The things I've done since last time are: - Fixed the problem with not allowing switches for emulators, it should not complain about it any more. - If the working folder box is left empty in the configuration of an emulator, it will use the folder of the emulator as the working folder. - PC Games! They now have their own category on the main screen. - Importing and exporting of game meta data, done from a new tab in the configuration. This is an example of a file I generated from the plugin: [code] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <games> <game> <title>Banjo-Kazooie (E) (M3) [!]</title> <yearmade>1998</yearmade> <description>test</description> </game> <game> <title>Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time (E) (V1.1) [!]</title> <grade>5</grade> <description>test</description> </game> <game> <title>Paper Mario</title> <grade>4</grade> <yearmade>2000</yearmade> <description>Platt som en pannkaka!</description> <genre>Äventyr</genre> <company>Nintendo</company> </game> </games> [/code] The matching is done entirely on the title of a game. That means we run into problems if a game has several names (ie a translated title) but right now I think it's the best way.
