Quote: I would be proud to add support to this file to my MAMEUIFX if only two things would happens:
1)The file is completely translated to english. 2)The file is completely converted to plain ASCII chars, to allow it to be displayed in the interface (I mean: the HISTORY.DAT section of the GUI) and not in-game pressing TAB key.
I always found quite ugly have to pause a frenetic fight, read the instructions for a special move and then come back to play... In my opinion, have it displayed in the GUI when you're also reading other useful infos about the game you're going to play would be a LOT better. Though I know it would be a huge tedious work, just imagine to convert the special char used in the datafile to describe a move to something like : ↗❶ (which would mean upright + button 1)............
This may be possible!!! The derivative M+GUI has this feature that allows you to view the Command list in the interface (the history.dat section of the GUI). You have to first enable it by clicking the Toolbar > View > Game Documents > Command. So can't you just copy and past that part of the source code into MAMEUIFX? (I'm sure it's probably a little bit more to it than that, but ya know what I mean.) What do you think?
