This is a quick hotfix release for two issues I found just after the previous release. They seem to effect Windows builds only. I have updated the Windows file to version 2.9.5.
Details of the fixes as follows;
• Fixed a Windows issue with frozen (distribution) builds. cx_Freeze isn’t bundling necessary DLLs that are required by the urllib for reading https URLs. This caused the ‘check for updates’ feature to not work. In the background it was actually throwing an error that you couldn’t see. The issue doesn’t exist when running pfeMAME directly from python or within an IDE as the DLLs exist in the native python distribution. I have updated the setup.py builder to search for and include these files.
• Added a note in the manual regarding the need to manually install pypubsub as the build-in has been depreciated. I have also removed my hooks to support the built-in.
• Fixed bug in database build – under Windows if the full system support method was selected, the process would spawn command prompt windows for each subprocess. Very ugly. Had hardcoded the shell type in the subprocess calls when it should be the shell_to_use variable depending upon operating system type.
You can download this release from HERE.
Please read the manual as it has everything you need. Please report bugs. You can email [email protected] or use the features on the sourceforge site to create a ticket, leave a review, or chat.
pfeMAME is a front end for the Multiple Arcade Game Emulator (MAME) written in Python. It is cross platform (tested on Linux - Ubuntu and Windows). It also includes a graphical Tile View designed for MAME cabinets which allows control using joystick / gamepad. It supports favourite game flagging, MESS systems, and a Tiled view for arcade cabinets. It was written with a minimalist view in mind but also because there were some features I wanted that other front ends just didn't provide.
