[Detailed Work]

1. New features of front end

(1) Pressing 'enter' in the keyboard to play a game which name is highlighted

(now we need to double click) [by LidLikesIntellivision] [DONE]

(2) Next search button added

(When number of search result is more than 2, Next search button enabled)

[by starwindz] [DONE]

(3) The dialog box to select the game version shouldn't appear

when there's only one game file. [by LidLikesIntellivision] [DONE]

(4) Fav list clear/import [by starwindz] [DONE]

(5) Genres grouping [by Mclaneinc] [DONE]

***(9) Publisher grouping along with with Genres [by starwindz]

(Shows number of games?, Options: Atarimania comment yes/no, Magazine article yes/no)


2. Bug fix of front end

(1) If you set a tune playing and then right click on the music icon

the tune stops BUT if like me you double click on a game to start it,

the tune obviously starts again. [by Mclaneinc] [DONE]

*(2) if you have the front end set to play SAPS automatically and

you use the arrow keys to select games then when it hits a game

with a tune and plays it the arrow keys stop working to select games,

I presume it loses focus? [by Mclaneinc]

**(3) Incorrect Genres of some games

(4) Bug of remembering the last playing game [DONE]


3. Bug fix of games

(1) Beamrider: Version 1 freezes (both emulators) when you destroy

the mothership in the end of each level. Version 2 is a hack without this problem.

(2) Commando gives the message 'unsupported cartridge size' in Altirra.

It doesn't load in atari800win too.

(3) Neptune's Daughter: Changed to Version 2)

(4) Pool 400: gamepack\atarimania\extras\Pool 400\pub_idsi.jpg (0 byte)

3) Mission and Misja are the same game

(Gauntlet was the "PD" version of Gauntlet and

Gauntletak was the "FULL" version released to the public

by the programmer himself a few years ago. => by Shannon)

I have been there on several occasions and the only advice I can give you is to pray, think positive and occupy your mind. I know its easier said than done but I consider myself a pro after 4+ months in the NICU with my youngest son. Faith will get you through the roughest of spots, Lean on friends and don't be afraid to ask for help. Its ok to be scared but remain strong! I hope for the very best of outcomes.

@hyperboy, again thank you for your kind words, I'm personally not a religious person for reasons too long to go in to on here but my wife is and I've asked her to do enough for two if you will. My 14yr old was diagnosed with IBS and now anorexia of some sort and her weight dropped terribly, we made alll the care agaencies aware but they only stepped in at the last moment.

 

Her potassium levels are dangerously low and her weight is a major concern but she's now getting treatment so I hope the road is going uphill now. only time will tell as she's extremely poorly.

 

Again thank you for the kind words.

 

Paul & family..

As of today I have to suspend my involvement in this project, my daughter Serena has been rushed in to hospital and is very ill.

 

Paul.

 

I wish her a fast recovery and to get better soon.

 

Just have faith. You don't need to be religious to have that strong good feeling inside your heart.

 

Things will go right.

Sorry bud - I can only imagine your pain. I am on the opposite end of the spectrum. I have went, from a person supporting both parents financially, to a person doing that, as well as driving my father to 35 sessions of chemotherapy and radiation for stage 4 cancer in the neck, only to see him suffer 4 strokes the past 3 months.

 

Find solace any way you can, and please hope that I am able to do the same. And pray for my poor father, as he is a proud supporter of his family, and is only 62 years old.

I don't really need credit either as all I did was suggest games to add. I think the program should carry a special dedication or mention of Mclane's daughter in hope of a speedy recovery and good health for the future as he has done so much for the project.

Good idea. 'Contributors window' can be replaced with 'Special dedication window'. Thank you so much.

Just to add, this version still needs to go over the last version otherwise games are missing..

 

The site says it contains the other releases but I had files like Mr Do etc coming up as missing, putting it over the lase release cured that..
