First off I know there are too many unofficial releases already but I have been intending to release this for a while. I am happy to merge this with the original project or create a 'myEmulators2' and collaborate with whoever wants to contribute so we can try and get some continuity with this great plugin
This release is based on BadMrFrosty's 'innoficial' version, there has been NO database changes so a database from that release 'should' just work.
I have retained and fixed a few issues with the update logic from previous versions so you should be able to update an existing database - however I would recommend a clean install.
This plugin is for MP 1.2 only
Project/SVN
Download for MP 1.2
Download for MP 1.2 Beta
Changes include
Update 30-6-2011
Update 18-9-2011
There have been significant skin changes so any old skin files will probably no longer work. The installer includes Default/Wide and StreamedMP skin files - I have done my best but could use some help with these
I have started to implement auto-resizing of coverart based on emulator but I need help gathering correct aspect ratios - by default the plugin includes a few predefined ratios in 'myEmulatorsAspectRatios.xml' in the MP config directory - you will need to add your own entries there with the name parameter matching the name of a configured emulator - and obviously enable the resize thumbs option within the Config.
I'm sure I've left some monumental bugs in there somewhere so I look forward to your feedback
Have fun!!
