gCube Front-End for 0.3

[gilgamesh]

Thank you Santa MgFox ! : D

[MGFox]

To Jih2000: Thanks for that suggestion, I will look into doing that and if I can get it working I'll probably make it optional so people can choose. I never thought of doing that 'cos all my GCMs are in seperate folders.

To Gilgamesh (and others): Santa MGFox will hopefully be visiting again tomorrow afternoon (a British GMT afternoon), With the unforseen success of gCubeFront I will be making adjustments and fixes so it should work (and look) better!

Cheers,
Fox

Wicked d00d! Lookin forward to it

[MGFox]

Here it is and the list of changes:-

v0.3R2
------

Changed Title to gCubeFront
Improved Look of Advanced Options (Added Tool-Tips and Tab Order)
Rewritten Button Code for Advanced Options (OK and Cancel)
Added File Location Check for all GC File Formats
Stopped Some Error Messages from Exiting the Program
Prevented Mount Directory from being executed without an ELF
Fixed One CLI Option

The changes are mainly aesthetic and for accident prevention. Please report any problems, I have tested it and tested it with success but you guys will be doing the REAL testing.

To save space on EmuTalk I've RAR'ed the program, just extract it using WinRAR or any other archive program that supports *.RARs (and there are many, and some are free too )

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Fox

Nice work MGFox!! I'll test this when I get home....

Great work, but still waiting for an browser. Probably the R3 will have it? A INI support would be great, too! But probably to hard to code, dunno?

[MGFox]

Hopefully the GCMBrowser will be in R3!

I started looking at doing it today (after posting R2), and I so far have a VERY basic version going. There are some problems with it not displaying files if they have Read-Only, Hidden or Achive attributes, but I will over come them!

INI Support? as in save your current settings, displaying compatibility messages or settings per game? (I'll assume the last one!)

I'll look into doing this once the browser is working, I'll then try and incorporate it into the browser so it auto loads settings...or something like that, I dunno I'll figure that out if I get it working!?!

Cheers,
Fox

this is great dude... keep up the great work. that was the only thing that pissed me off about this emu, but youve resolved it! thanks!

[MGFox]

Happy New Year Folks!

Here is my gift to you all:

gCubeFront v0.3R3...Now With Added Browser Freshness!!!

The interface has been completely re-built...from scratch, to use a browser interface instead, so I'll keep R2 available in case people don't like browsers!

The basic browser interface was completed well before christmas, but my job has been pretty busy lately, so I appologise for the delay as I have only now been able to do the final tidy-ups and so forth!

As always, feel free to ask questions and feedback is appreciated!

Cheers,
Fox

Very nice dude! Testing.....

EDIT: Some "contructive" criticism:

1. It would be handy if it stored the last file location you selected for where the GCMs are. So if you close an open it up all your games are listed.
2. I am unable to select more than one directory where I have games (I have some on a network drive, the rest on a removable HDD)
3. Perhaps a "flag" coded in to show the games region? ie EUR, USA, JAP etc. Although that's mainly for eye candy and easy sorting.
4. An ini implemented so you can change the game name from the images default, again for making it look cleaner/easier to sort.

The above is only my opinion, I in no way expect any of it

Cheers
