MAMEWorld Forums - News - pfeMame v0.995 released

I had some time over the last week or so to put together a mostly bugfix release for pfeMame.

pfeMame is a cross platform front end for MAME written in python(wx). Pre-compiled distributions for Windows and Linux are available as well as the source files (Hosted on Sourceforge).

The latest update v0.995 changes are as follows;

Re-fixed the absolute paths for icons, images, files etc. The method I previously used was not 100% when it came to Linux / Windows and has now been tested to work under the following conditions;
- Windows & Linux
- Running application source(.py) from command line
- Running from editor
- Running compiled .exe directly
- Running compiled .exe from a desktop shortcut
Updated the pfemame.ico file to be more correct (multiple embedded resolutions). Design has also been updated under Windows, the EXE has an embedded icon
Added to preferences the ability to highlight games that don't have a corresponding rom file in the ROMs folder path
Fixed some graphical layout issues in the main view under Windows – the View combobox and search entry field top border were being overdrawn by the toolbar icons.
Altered the way the games list is refreshed after changing; star ratings, number of runs, and adding to favorites. The list will now maintain whatever filter view it had previously prior to these actions.
Fixed a bug that caused games with no category listing in catver.ini from being repeated may times in the game list as it tried to find a match through the categories.dat file.

There is a possible issue under windows but I need some user feedback to confirm as I can only test from a virtual machine. If running a game in windowed mode the background (not the game window) is corrupted. This may be due to the VM but some feedback would be helpful.
