NEWS: GameEx 9.17 released

[Tom Speirs]

25th March, 2008 - GameEx 9.17

Another day, another GameEx enhancment

This version introduces a "last played" module/list. Similar to most played but listing games you played in order of when you last played them.

There are also updates to the code that handles videos previews. Hopefully for the better, but if you encounter any problems with video previews or snaps please advise

One other change in this release. GameEx won't start the screensaver if its minimized. So now if your just listening to tunes you wont be hassled.

Nice one. Thanks Tom !

Awesome! The screensaver kicking in is a BIG pain in the ass when playing with scripts and while doing other setup type stuff where you don't have to shut GameEx down. Much appreciated!

Great work man!!!!

BTW: Did this fix the ultrastick issue tempest had?

[Adultery]

Awesome! I'm kinda sad I missed out on the initial launch of the Search feature when I was on Easter holiday... It's like my own little easter egg!

Thanks Tom! You STILL rule... After all these years.

[Tom Speirs]

Yes, it should have.

[Brian Hoffman]

Yes, it should have.

And you didnt even include that in the release notes. hehehe

Im sure Tempest will be happy.

I was just thinking about the search feature and the problem I mentioned in the original release thread. Since I have game examples in the catver.ini, I get those games whenever I search with a string that includes those (e.g., Mario displays all platformers since my catver category is 'Platformer (Donkey Kong, Mario, etc.)').

I noticed that the search page is mostly empty. Is it possible to add any toggles in it for where to search? For example, maybe one for MAME/Emulators/Both. Since all the data you are searching is in one database, I assume you are simply searching all records and fields. Maybe a check box for the major things like: game name, history, series, category, everything. The easiest solution for my current conundrum would be the ability to search JUST the game name. Anyway, just a thought. Since this is a new feature and more of a tweak than a request, I put it here instead of the features request...

[Tempest]

Yes, it should have.

I couldn't help myself, So I ran it through Beyond Compare again...

Everything Looks Good! (This doesn't mean I won't continue to blame you for things that I've screwed up myself)

I really like the "last played" option...SWEET!

Of course, if it (and "most played) would show a snap for the #1 game in the list, it would be perfect!

Thanks Tom!

Edit: Yes, I'm happy!

Ih this release I noticed a real progress in loads of video-previews.

Thanks Tom
