Emu Loader v7.6.5

EmuLoaderEmu Loader v7.6.5 is released. Emu Loader was created to manage an arcade games emulator called M.A.M.E. With this frontend, you can change practically any option that is available in the emulator, like the screen resolution, sound quality, game options, etc. There are lots of extra features that makes your life much more easier, like the snapshots viewer where all captured images from M.A.M.E. games can be viewed when selecting games.

Emu Loader v7.6.5 Changelog:
Fixed
Search bar function was executing even if edit box is empty
Minor UI fixes:
- Edit boxes/buttons in Emulators Setup screen were not aligned correctly
- More tweaks for 640x480 resolution
- Message box was not increasing its height with extremely long texts, showing the vertical scrollbar
Crash when using "Clear History" button/menu item in MAMu_ Icons Manager

Changed
Game ROMs info improvement: internal TStringLists assinged to ROMs/CHDs are no longer initialized for games that do not have ROMs/CHDs *DUH!* This saves around 2MB of RAM (35000 games)... it's not much but it prevents EL from creating/initializing 2300++ TStringList vars in RAM!!!
Moved menu items 'Customize Columns' and 'Customize Columns Header Font' from games popup menu / view mode menu to the new columns popup menu (mouse right-click in any column header). Much easier to rememeber...
Custom title in font selection dialog (experimental)
Column 'Total Playtime' renamed to 'Playtime'
All date/time strings are now in 24 hours format (no more AM/PM). Removed 70 pixels from 'Playtime' column
Message box icon size changed to 32x32. Icon size 48x48 is only used to display game icons and when gamename info label is visible
Source code tweaks and cleanups... yet again

Improved
none

Removed
none

Added
New 'devices list' property for each game info, loaded in RAM. Usage around 2MB of RAM for 35000 MAME games (TStringList var). It makes some features much easier to work with and it prevents from loading 'arcade\mame_deviceset.ini' contents to RAM every time devices list is needed
Game info property 'eUseDeviceROMs' removed as it's no longer needed
New quick jump menu "Select Set" (mouse right-click in games popup menu)
- 'Select Bios [bios name]': click on it to go directly to the bios set
- 'Select Device [device name]': click on it to go directly to the device set(s)
- Contents of this sub-menu change based on clone of, bios and device sets info; only when calling the popup menu
- Similar to 'Select Parent Game' option... which is moved to the new 'Select Set' menu
- Merged all related functions and simplified the code
- All systems are supported, not just MAME/HBMAME
Assigned a "Go To Parent Set" button to all arcade controllers; only X-Arcade was supporting this
New settings: 'Hide Seconds in Last Played' / 'Hide Seconds in Playtime' columns. Check to show only hours/minutes (preferences screen)
New games filter: "Global VR" (PC based hardware)... from 'globalvr.c' driver
