Nope it's definitely not dropping brackets via the plug-in architecture. I just tested it and it's showing the whole rom name (minus the extension).

If it's dropping the brackets from the Rom variable it's definitely a bug. It might have been introduced recently when he added the new bracket removal handling when the new databases came out. I would ask Tom about it, but I don't think it's dropping the brackets in the plugin system or I would have noticed that by now.

I wonder why it would do that? Has to be a bug, maybe one should do a bug report.

Good to know. :-)

Can you use "[RomPath]\[Rom].mbr" instead? Edit: my bad, your mbr files aren't in the same directory as the rom path. Maybe the room variable isn't supported? How about a peek at your runitgame.bat after you use the command line? Also try "YourPath\memcards\[Rom].mbr" and see if that does it.

To be honest I don't know why that happens since my computer seems to not do this, we I don't think it does. I'll test more.

Yeah I think that's correct. :-) Try it out and see. If it doesn't work try [RomName], but I really think you got it.

That's only for the snap shot, it's got no bearing on mame itself (it does a scale to the snap itself regardless of your name resolution). I'm sure it's a setting related to DirectDraw. Maybe I'll add an option to send your own commands to mame in a case like that.

It might be because the resolution for DirectDraw is different than for D3D? I'm not sure.

Damn bro, you make me not even want to try. Lol!

You need to extract the contents of the archive to the GameEx root directory. Any folders the plugin needs get created automatically. Inside the zip is the PLUGINS folder which contains the dll, which should then be accessible by the plugin manager.

You should make a request in the proper forum (there's pinned topic just for feature requests) since GameEx does not support that feature at this time.

UPDATED TO 1.0.2: Added new configuration options to the plugin:Save directoryImage FormatImage SizeAdded a "last snap" viewer to the configuration formClick on the image to launch the Last Snap Viewer windowAdded status strip to display currently installed MAME versionAdded a new banner logo, which when clicked will open the project page in a new windowHere's a look at the new configuration window with the new options added: As always, you can snag the new version in the first post. Thanks for using this! I haven't added it to the download portal yet, but I will get there eventually. Let me know if you experience any kooky behavior, but it should be working just fine (at least it is for me). If you're not using this... You should be! It really makes your hi-score submissions a lot easier!! I'm going to add some browse buttons and a delete button to the viewer window so you can see and or remove them from all the snaps in that folder instead of just the last one you took. In case of multiples that should help you decide which one to upload.

I'll get a higher score than this later, but it's a start. The obvious strategy is to clear the round without dying so you get the huge POW rescue bonuses. 126,660

Arkanoid for one, tron, probably others too. If you buy a kit you can also turn it into a steering wheel for racing games.

Awesome! ;-)

Update your plugin Daz. There's a new version out in the first post.

+1

Yeah it was a type-o in the URL. I don't use Daphne so I can't help ya there sorry.

Sorry about the link. It's fixed now.

Here is the full list of everything that has been updated: Included is the newest versions of Xpadder, Virtual Drive Loader, QuickLaunch, and Game Info. This also includes my new plugin, MAME Commander Lite which replaces MAME Commander 2. All the project pages have changelogs if you're curious.

Updated to 1.0.1! Removed dependency on HiScore.xml, replaced with new GamesList.txtIf you're connected to the internet, the database will always be currentDatabase is downloaded quickly while GameEx initializesAdded "override" for machines not connected to the network where no gameslist.txt was foundView the database here and copy/save it as gameslist.txtAdded ROM name to snapshotIf override is on, added override setting to snapFixed a bug in game list parsingAdded more loggingPlugin is much more stable after some serious bug testingBIG shouts to DazzleHP for all his help in testing this!Get it from this post.

Not besides the PC-10 version. Too bad though, that would have been a good one! Which metal slug had the portion that turns you into a zombie? 4 maybe? Or 3? That would be a cool one to play.

I'd like to see Dungeons & Dragons make it in there. Or ms pac-man, the ghosts are kind off Halloween-ish.

...or update your MAME build.
