We have to redo the related module from scratch.
That’s due to earlier changes in MAME related to -listxml, and QMC2 currently has no support for what has to be done now (the front-end itself needs to traverse the MAME device tree according to XML). Otherwise, expect this feature addition to be ready for the next release (whenever that will be).Īlso, we’re aware that changing slots / slot-options isn’t working at the moment. If you would like to try it, you would currently have to build it yourself and add WIP=1 on the make command line. However, UI integration, view-management and the ( flat) view itself are already performing very nicely. This new feature isn’t 100% ready for prime-time yet (no filtering, no tree mode), so it will not be included in any official build at the moment.
There’s also work going on that will eventually allow users to create his / her own views (of the machine list) which can be filtered in any thinkable way. Anyway, it’s still a rather big update this time, including many bug-fixes (thanks to MusicLovr for his tests and reports regarding quite a few of them!), some nice performance and stability improvements, as well as a bit of new stuff. Our first release after five months… sorry that it took so long, but real life made it impossible to keep up with the pace of the MAME team.
