Important note

If you download the r350m version below, REMOVE THE "m" AT THE END BEFORE LAUNCHING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I will update what needs to be updated for the next release so you don't have to do that in the future.

First things first

What's new

  1. Let the resolution be 640x480 so it looks nicer when outputting through HDMI and on the RG-350m
  2. Added a new layout, custom, which displays full names and currently allows more room for art. This layout supports many modifications if theme.ini is edited, so new themes can be created.
  3. Performance was completely improved, a lot of SDL code was corrected and improved.
  4. New HDMI switch available in settings for the RG-350.
    a) The RG-350 must have the hdmi update installed.
    b) It won't work with Rogue.
  5. Transparent overlays in fullscreen are now colored like the section header, except Favorites, which remains black, to distinguish it.
  6. Favorites names in full screen now display in yellow instead of white, if the fullscreen game name is enabled
  7. Added the possibility of setting the fullscreen game name at the top of the screen, if defined in theme.ini.
  8. If the fullscreen footer is enabled and either no games are found or the picture for a game is not available, the text indicating this situation will only be put in the footer/header or in the middle screen, if the footer is disabled, to avoid redundant information.
  9. Corrected a bug where if the first rom folder had no files, the second one listed for the same section would be ignored.
  10. Corrected a bug wherethe launcher coud not be set as default on the PG2
  11. Corrected more bugs not reported here
  12. Cleaned up config.ini, removing unused configurations

Notes

  • The default theme's assets are 320x240, so they will look blurred when stretched to 640x480, which will probably be most noticeable when outputting through HDMI.
  • It's also recommended that you get 640x480 screencaptures/art if you are using the RG-350m, so no processing needs to take place when viewing them in fullscreen mode.
  • FOR THIS RELEASE:
    • BACKUP YOUR SECTION GROUPS AND FAVORITES, IF YOU HAVE THEM
    • IF YOU HAD NEO GEO OR FINALBURN ALPHA SECTIONS AND THEY WERE NAMED "NEO-GEO" AND "FINAL BURN ALPHA", PLEASE RENAME THEM TO "NEO GEO" AND "FINALBURN ALPHA", BOTH ON THE CONSOLES LIST AND THE SECTION NAME ITSELF (THE NAME BETWEEN [ ])
    • DON'T KEEP YOUR OLD THEMES, THEY WILL MAKE THIS VERSION CRASH
    • LET THE .SIMPLEMENU FOLDER BE CREATED FROM SCRATCH
    • RESTORE YOUR CONFIGS.
    • DELETE LAST_STATE.SAV BEFORE LAUNCHING AGAIN
  • Bittboy version coming up later this week
  • RG-300 version coming up later this week
