OK, tonight I took the time to test the new beta of mGalaxy. I must admit I'm pretty damn
amazed how feature packed this version has become compared to the 3.0.
Configuring mGalaxy was a breeze. Just remember to run mGalaxy_Runway.exe before you start the frontend itself. Everything is quite straight forward except the fact that there's no possibility to choose another extension besides .zip . I know that this was intentionally left for us beta testers to find out
. So if any of you guys struggle to find the solution just head to your %appdata%/mGalaxy and open the file called Systems.xml. Scroll to the options that are related to your selected emulator. There you will find something like:<Ext selected="1">
<Suf id="0" value=".zip" />
</Ext>
Just add the following <Suf id="1" value=".7z" /> (change ".7z" to your roms extension, leave the quotes) so it looks like this:
<Ext selected="1">
<Suf id="0" value=".zip" />
<Suf id="1" value=".7z" />
</Ext>
Remember, if you want to add multiple file extensions, every next row has to have the id part changed to a next number (autovalue)
Save the file, open the mGalaxy_Runway.exe and the extension should be visible for you... you're ready to go
The same can be applied to any emulator.* thing to consider before the full release: Maybe it would be useful to ask the user whether to run the mGalaxy_Runway.exe after the installer finishes.
For now I tested mGalaxy with MAME only but feature tests with various platforms will be carried out ASAP.
Another thing to consider for the final version is to add the ability to run a windows shortcut or executable file. I think this is "a must" considering mGalaxy is now opened to other emus. For example, I have many windows - native classic remakes of games like Karate Champ, Space invaders which are remakes built to run natively on windows or any other arcade game worth taking your time
Anyways... it would be very convenient to run them directly from mGalaxy. The remakes can be found here:http://www.classic-retro-games.com/games-list.php

About the snap files... you can find MAME snaps here : http://www.mameui.info/
These are perfectly synced with rom files.
Peace

. I Know you can convert images or change in mGalaxy_Runway extension but is not the point. I have a small detail that annoys me namely, the image of a mini arcade cabinet (MAME) is a control panel for left-handed player
