Added
– FlexBy420: Added WorldIDs for many games(see #115)
Fixed
– Limited ServerIDs to 1, assumption that some games would hardcode those and request specifics seems to have been wrong WorldIDs now start at 65537, a few games have been found to hardcode those
VERTICAL SCROLLBAR FOR GAME LIST
– A custom vertical scrollbar control has been added to the right of the art area.
FILTER IMPROVEMENTS AND ADDITIONS
– The Ctrl-F/E Filter has had its presentation overhauled. Some of the main powerful features have been surfaced in the drop-down example list (click the blank line or hit down arrow / alt-down arrow). Elaborate combinations can be made for viewing hit results. This allows for searches using descriptive terms such as 80s games, working only, and no clones. For more detailed queries, the full SQL-like advanced syntax remains available, providing precise control with field-specific searches (year:1994), negation (mfg:!Capcom), and complex Boolean logic.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
– IV/Play’s version information is now surfaced on the title bar after its name before the linked MAME .exe.
– The DAT Peek feature’s key is now configurable; especially handy for non-US keyboard layouts. The default will try to find the key in the upper left above the TAB key and should handle most European keyboards. This key can be set in the IV-Play.cfg file. The various key codes may be found on Microsoft’s site by searching for System.Windows.Forms.Keys enumeration in their .NET Framework docs.
– ‘Show Favorites in Filter View’ is now a toggle in F1. If this is on and a filter search is initiated it will bring any marked favorites into the result list, duplicating the entry from the favorites list in the filter, placed at the top of the results.
– The F1 config check boxes have been re-ordered and the verb has standardized on ‘Show’ vs. a mix of show and hide. Attendant logic has been updated for the new verbiage.
– The Grid View + No Art combo has been added to the Tab / Alt-P cycle as the fourth option.
– The diagnostic F10 Build Verification Test (BVT) has been extended with a new overlay and progress screen with grid view interactions.
Core:
– fixed: temporary path getter can fail leading to unpacked files in rom, sample or last used path
– misc: updated spdlog to 1.16.0
– misc: scanner, removed fileAccessible test for unneeded files in rompath, it’s pretty slow and normally all files within rompaths should be accessible anyhow. If you now get warnings, please let me know
