MedLaunch - A Windows (.NET) Front-End [message #4566] Tue, 04 October 2016 12:16 Go to next message
ASNiVOR  [PM]
Hi all,

So I have been working on a Windows front-end for Mednafen for a quite a few months now and its coming along pretty quickly.

It started as a purely private project for me to try and learn a bit more about WPF, EntityFramework and SQLite and its kind of snowballed since then.

It should run on both x64 and x86 systems (currently tested only on Win7) and does unfortunately require that you have the .NET Framework v4.5.2 installed:
Download .NET v4.5.2

The current feature list is as follows:

* No installation required (and no data is written outside of the MedLaunch folder)
* Local (SQLite) auto-generated database where all settings are saved
* Can import existing mednafen configuration options
* Responsive UI
* Customizable color scheme
* Scaleable to aid usability on a wide range of resolutions
* Supports versions of Mednafen 0.9.39.x - 0.9.45.x (latest)
* Nearly all Mednafen config parameters are supported and configurable through the launcher
* With the exception of control configuration parameters, all config settings are stored internally on per-emulated system basis
* On game launch a {system}.cfg file is generated (so that per-system configurations can be utilized outside of MedLaunch)
* Built-in update checking (with manual ability to grab the latest MedLaunch and supported Mednafen x64 binaries)
* Customizable games library
* Hide/show individual mednafen emulated systems and games library columns
* Multi-column sorting and dynamic search
* Library sorting and column sizing/positioning state saved on a per-filter basis
* Sidebar that shows game information, boxart, screenshots, manuals etc. (once the game has been scraped)
* Auto scan and import of ROM based games
* Imports all standard ROM formats that mednafen supports
* Extended archive support - will import single or multiple ROMs from within .zip or .7z files
* Auto scan and import of Disc based games (PSX, Saturn, PCFX & PCE-CD)
* Multi-disc games must have their files residing in the same directory or sub-directory
* Auto-generation of .m3u playlist files for multi-disc games
* DAT data lookup on import
* MedLaunch ships with a DAT database that combines NoIntro, Tosec, PsxDataCenter & Satakore information that enables detailed information (Country, Year, Publisher etc) to be populated in the games library upon import
* ROM (and some disc-based system) files are matched based on MD5 hash
* PSX and Saturn discs are matched based on game serial number lookup (that is obtained by interogating the disc image itself)
* Online scraping of game data/media/docs
* Auto and manual scraping of data from thegamesdb and mobygames
* PDF manuals downloaded from replacementdocs
* Configuration of mednafen controls
* DirectInput and XInput are fully supported - covering keyboard, standard gamepads/joysticks and XInput devices (xbox/playstation controllers etc.)
* Configure nearly all emulated gamepad/joystick/wheel etc. devices for all virtual input ports for every emulated system
* Standard mouse bindings can be inserted using pre-defined templates
* Extended game launch functionality
* Last played and total game time stats recorded on a per-game basis
* Option to remember mednafen window/screen position (on a per-emulated system basis) and re-apply this on game launch (useful for people with multi-monitor setups)
* Choose the CD image that should be inserted when mednafen starts (in the case of multi-disc games)
* Edit the mednafen launch string before running the game
* Option to copy launch string to clipboard (for use in other frontends or batch files)
* Built-in netplay server list (with pre-populated servers)
* Browser control with links to the mednafen and medlaunch websites

Direct Download (latest production version): https://downloads.medlaunch.info/latest

There is also a rolling development build that you can try between releases. Changes implemented can be found in the changelog.

DevBuild Download:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Asnivor/medlaunch/branch/dev/artifacts

The website for this application is: here

There are some basic screenshots available: here

The project is also up on GitHub: here

Finally, the current roadmap is: here

If you do decide to have a play with MedLaunch and find any bugs it would be amazing if you could open an issue on GitHub for them.

We also have a Discord Server HERE if you want to chat.

Many thanks,

Asnivor

Hi all,

I have released a new version of MedLaunch on Github:

https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/releases/tag/0.1.14

Among other things this release adds PSX and SS specific configuration controls along with a few GUI changes so everything is a little more uniform.

The full changelog is here.

If anyone has any problems or questions (or suggestions) please let me know.

To forum admin: Are you able to move this post into the 'Development' forum? It seems like that is the place posts about front-ends traditionally seem to go?

Many thanks,

-Asni

Hi,

First thanks for your work.
Where is the Optional per-system configuration options.
Can you add 32000Hz option in all the audio menu.
Is it possible to have an input controller setup like in mednaffe.

Per system configs are activated by right clicking on them in the configs tab and selecting enable. At this point the config is active and will over ride the base config when a game for that particular system is launched.

I will certainly add that audio option in the next release (and any others that are suggested).

Controller configuration is coming further down the line.

Thanks.

Regarding the mednafen config on disk, this is currently not modified by MedLaunch (but should be updated automatically once you launch a game). As far as I know launching mednafen with command line options does save those options to the config file on disk.

Hi!

I am very liked your work is really very good!

Several times I had the program crash... (windows 7 x64)

Could you add the ability to change the language? (I can help with translation into Russian language)

Thanks Smile
Were you doing anything in particular when it crashed? Clicking on something? Scanning roms into the library? Would help me a lot fo be able to reproduce the crashes.

I'm sure translations should be doable, although I've never done them Before. If I were to export a list of labEls out to a text file and you provide the translations in the sMs file it should be easy to have a language selector that translates everything on the fly. I'll get a sample file up on github next week hopefully.

Thanks,

Asni

I had a few crashes of the program..

1: I repeatedly right-click in the pane with the list of ROMs, or just pressed at program startup ,or clicked after adding ROM to favorites.

2: I have failed after re-scanning the folder with the Roms (NES for example) , I have 100 ROMs+, in 1 folder. Also crash if you remove/rename the folder and to try to scan it.

I have problem with PC-engine (CD). Impossible to launch the games.
However it Work with Mednaffe and MedGuiR.

I have this error message when i launch the game:

Game Path is incorrect! - C:\MednafenD:\Hyperspin\Roms\NEC PC Engine CD\lga_Ninden_Gaiou.cue


No problems with PSX or Saturn cd, or roms.

You Could do the ability to add several ROMS folders and choose between them, for example as in Mednaffe.

Also could you make an option to remove all ROMs from the list

Ok, so i can reproduce the crash if you change the folder name before rescanning - I will try to fix that soon.

The other things I have not been able to reproduce. The GUI will hang quite often whilst it is importing games. If you click in the window whilst it is doing this process windows does ask you if you wish to end the program. This might be what is happening. Until I work out how to do a proper multi-threaded import process I don't think I can fix it. I'll work on it.

This is a possibility I suppose. It shouldnt be that hard to have a List or Array of paths for each system in the database rather than a single string. Might take a while to get this in though as there is a fair amount of other pressing stuff I need to implement first.

Quote:

Yes, its on my list of things to do when I build out the 'Settings' section next week.

Do you want them deleted from the database completely? At the moment if you remove roms for the folder they were originally scanned in (rather than renaming the folder itself), the missing ROMs get marked as hidden in the database but not deleted. When a ROM of the same name for that system is found again at a later date it is updated with the new path details and marked as unhidden. This is also the behaviour that I intended if a rom folder was deleted or renamed (but Im not quite there with that yet).

You did a wonderful job.
Your frontend looks really professional, you should make it compatible with XP and let it read the settings directly from the configuration file of Mednafen.
I believe that soon my frontend will retire.

Thanks. Reading/saving to mednafen configs is something in planning on implementing as an option in the future.

XP however is a problem. I don't think .net 4.5.2 is available for XP and the entity framework stuff in using with sqlite requires it. Also, I don't even have an xp vm around any more to test with.

n fact, you must read the configuration file line by line and report the results to their fields, while writing is not required since mednafen same upgrading configuration file with changes

A new release (v0.1.14.6) is available here.

It has a few enhancements and fixes some of the bugs raised in this forum last week.

The full changelog for this version as usual can be found here.

Upcoming

If I have time this week i'm hoping to get the following in place:
  • Debugger config settings
  • System BIOS path options
  • Mednafen directory path options (cheats, sav etc.)
  • Actual config file parsing
  • Games library info sidebar
  • Some prep-work for thegamesdb scraping


We'll see how that goes. As usual let me know any bugs that need fixing or currently undocumented feature requests. Or add them to the GitHub issue tracker (here) if thats your kind of thing.

Cheers,

-Asni

Hi !

Games aren't started if to use the settings of a network game. If to fill fields: Password or GameKey

Could make a program window less on a default? I have a display resolution 1366x768, and when opening the emulator, the window of the program oversteps the bounds of the screen

Also add an option: Action when launch: do nothing, minimize, hide. For example . to be able to manage the emulator window when you start the game

*edit - I had a problem with that bugfix release (0.1.15.1). It has been removed from GitHub.

I'll sort it out and release tomorrow.

A new version has been released (0.1.15.7) that addresses some of the bugs raised here along with some new features:


  • Added system specific debug config controls (finally)
  • Added WonderSwan specific config controls
  • Moved 'Enable Netplay' checkbox to Settings tab
  • Changed netplay.password and netplay.gamekey so that they can be applied to static servers in the list
  • Added startup check - if screen resolution is less than standard MedLaunch resolution - maximise the window to fit
  • Moved snes_faust and pce_fast launch toggles to the settings page
  • Added games library context menu option 'copy launch string to clipboard' (so you can paste into a batch file and use in other applications for example)
  • Modified all panel heights so that they are viewable on lower resolutions at the default zoom
  • Added a 'Set GUI Zoom' selector on the settings tab. Useful for people with tiny resolutions who cant see all content (and people with large resolutions who want the GUI content bigger)
  • Added Mednafen directory selectors (cheats, snaps, sav etc)
  • Better whitespace validation when building launch config (values with spaces are now encapsulated with quotation marks)
  • Added System BIOS/Rom path controls


The release is on GitHub here.

Note: This release introduces breaking changes in the MedLaunch database format (we have gone from 0.1.14.x to 0.1.15.x) so you MUST either extract this release to a new folder or delete the existing MedLaunch database file (.\Data\Settings\MedLaunch.db) if you are overwriting an existing MedLaunch install (and before you launch the application).

I will address this behavior soon.

Thanks,

-Asni

So another release (0.1.16.2).

https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/releases/tag/0.1.16.2

  • Fixed vb config option that was causing games not to launch
  • Fixed crash on double-click of empty games library
  • Fixed all context menu exceptions (null errors) on Games Library
  • Fixed a master system config option (so games now run)
  • Added 'Minimise to taskbar on Game Launch' settings option (default is ON)
  • Some UI speed optimisations


Fixes some pretty major crash issues that revolved around random clicking within the games library. I haven't been able to crash this release yet - please let me know if you can (and how if possible). Also MasterSystem and VirtualBoy games now launch properly.

As in the last release this one includes breaking database changes so please extract to a new folder (don't overwrite any existing MedLaunch folder).

Hopefully this is the last bug-fix-centric release for a while. If all goes well I can spend the available time implementing some of the new features slated on the roadmap.

Thanks,

-Asni

So its not being detected when you do a ROM scan?

What kind of ROM is it?

Can you play it in Mednafen without using MedLaunch?

If I understand correctly Mednafen by default wont play the old-style *.smd ROM format, so at the moment MedLaunch will not import it in.

However, if you can play this ROM directly in Mednafen (without MedLaunch) then it is likely that it is actually a standard *.bin format file that has been renamed to *.smd at some point. Mednafen I believe interrogates the file itself rather than the file extension, so this is why it works without MedLaunch.

There is already an entry on the roadmap for converting *.smd ROMs to *.bin, but I guess I will have to implement something that checks the MD ROM file format itself during the ROM scanning process, as I guess a lot of folks have just renamed ROM file extensions in the past without converting the file format (and other emulators perhaps have a tolerance for this).

If your ROM does work in Mednafen (without MedLaunch) then renaming the ROM with a *.bin file extension get it picked up in the MedLaunch scan. Otherwise, I will get something implemented to handle this a little further in the future.

Thanks,

-Asni

Strange. I can't reproduce that myself. What operating system are you running (version of windows and architecture - x86 or x64)?

Did you definitely extract the new MedLaunch release to a new folder (rather than overwriting an existing one)?

Yeah, its difficult because I still cannot replicate the issue on any of the machines I've tried. Maybe it is a gfx card thing?

Could you maybe try turning off aero for me (theme - windows basic iirc) and seeing if that makes any difference?

New release v0.2.8.0 is now available:

https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/releases/tag/0.2.8.0

It is important that you read the release notes in the link above.

All the new features/changes can be found here:

http://medlaunch.asnitech.co.uk/changelog


Hopefully by next release I will have in place the reading of Mednafen config files into the Launcher. At least thats what I'm aiming for.

Comments/bugs/suggestions are welcome as always.

Thanks,

-Asni

Version 0.2.11.0 released:

https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/releases

#### Notable Additions
  • Fixed major issues with auto-game scraper (it actually works now and content is not re-downloaded if it is already present)
  • Added application colour theme picker
  • Added option to check for MedLaunch updates on startup (but not auto-install) - disabled by default

#### Upgrade
  • Preferred Method: Automatically download and upgrade using the 'Updates' tab within MedLaunch itself.
  • Manual Method: You can safely extract this new release over an existing MedLaunch folder (providing you do not have MedLaunch running at the time)
  • Once extracted run the MedLaunch.exe executable and your current database will be upgraded before the application starts proper.

#### New Install
  • Extract this release to a folder, run the 'MedLaunch.exe' executable and choose your Mednafen directory (must be the Mednafen 0.9.39.x branch).
  • If you currently use system-specific config files with Mednafen it is recommended that you setup a new Mednafen folder (extract Mednafen to a new folder) to avoid issues.

Hi !

Very good! thank you for your work.

Still the problem with Gui Zoom,

Do you have any news about the translation into Russian language?

Yeah, at the moment I'm not sure what to do with this. It works fine on the 4 machines I have tested it on (admittedly all Windows 7 x64). Maybe i'll have the launcher dump any exception errors to a log file (once i work out how) in an upcoming release - then at least people having this issue can provide me with more details on the problem.

Its still on my list of things to do, but currently I am in the middle of implementing reading mednafen config files into the launcher. I will hopefully work on the translation after that.

At the moment I'm planning to implement translation by having a json file shipped with the release (for each language) that contains an auto-generated exported list of english control labels along with a field for translations. Then you can select a language in the Launcher settings and it modifies all the labels based on the JSON.

Once the basic JSON is in place I will need someone to go through and supply the translations (in this case Russian) and supply the updated file back to me (if said person is unable/unwilling to fork on GitHub and create a pull request).

If that person is you, then keep an eye out and I'll let you know when its ready Smile

I could probably use a translation engine of some sort initially (google, bing etc..) but if prior experience is anything to go by, that will probably be more trouble than it's worth Smile

There was a crash issue with new installs on the last release (0.2.11.1) so i've had to push forward the latest release:

0.2.12.2

https://github.com/Asnivor/MedLaunch/releases

Changes:

-Overhauled the database config tables (to more closely mirror Mednafen's config files)
-Implemented import-config-from-files functionality
-Fixed launch issue when using a fresh instance of MedLaunch 0.2.11.1

Thanks,

-Asni
