New build with some important fixes. You can't miss this one.
Most important is the addition of a new file "file_extensions.ini". You can add as many file extensions as you want. If you do, I appreciate if you send me a copy of it.
Again, no clean install needed.
Tchau, boys and girls!
   Time for another update. Some changes in the user interface, removal of main menu / popup menus icons and the most important, removal of the "Located in" column. You have 2 choices, re-create all your games list or use the new games list update utility, found in the downloads page. The conversion app was tested on a games list generated by v1.8.2 and it probably will not work for older front-end versions. No need for a clean install folks.
Tchau!
   Quick update. Create games list was not working!
How embarassing... for me. Plus, a few optimizations in the source code. There is an update pack this time.
   Hi everybody... new EmuCon version with lots of updates and fixes. I know the changelog don't show it but trust me, lots of internal changes were made...
I added PlayStation 2 support but I haven't tested it (no PS2 games here). I added a new "MRU" feature (last played games). It has its own window now and it's easier to use.

   One good change. EmuCon now have support for 2 snapshots folders, 1 for title snaps and 1 for game snaps, so you will need to convert all your files to the new format (game descriptions + extension). I've coded a small app for this purpose. You can get it in the downloads page.
The disc games editor has been updated as well. Its games list will be in a new file "\games\DiscGames.ec" so you will need to add them again... sorry
Have fun!
   One more... build 1.8.2. Some bugs I missed. You could not run games with previous build.
Hope this one works for everyone.

    It's video-game-mania time! :-))
I finally got around on finishing the new EmuCon Playground EX version 1.7. Megatons of new stuff as this front-end for console and handheld emulators got a face lift and an update... 70% rewritten from scratch.
Attention: You must do a clean install on this version and re-create all the games lists. You "cannot" upgrade from a previous build, not even from the v1.7 beta build I made available a few months ago.

    The first good news is that now virtually any emulator can be used as long as it can load/run games from the command line, including "MESS".

    ROM filenames do not require specific extensions now. If an emulator can open a file without extension, the filename will be supported by the front-end.

    The second big change here is the addition on a new file, located in the root of the front-end called "emulator_parameters.ini". Within this file, emulator filenames and their supported command lines. One parameter for ROMs (cartridges), one parameter for image files (.iso; .bin; etc) and one parameter for real discs (PlayStation, PC Engine, etc).
In the "Emulator Setup" screen, when selecting an emulator filename, if the file info is present in this new .ini file, the parameters will be automatically loaded. If they do not exist and you type new parameters, they will be saved in this new .ini file. You do not need to update the file manually.

    The third one, is the "Disc Games Editor" feature. All disc based games (CD / DVD / LD / etc) will be saved on a new file "< front-end >\games\DiscGames.ec" to make our life easier.

    Last big update... title snapshots and game snapshots. You can set a different folder for title snaps and and another folder for game snaps. Also, screenshots filenames now must be the same as the game title, without any special suffix.
e.g.: if a game title is "Super Mario World", both title and game snapshots must be "Super Mario World.png". Only unzipped images are supported.

    I know, I know... this build is not perfect, but it's way better than the previous release from months ago. I hope you all like the new EmuCon.

    One final word, p.l.e.a.s.e. read the change log for the full list of changes before start using this release. Have fun! :-))
