Title: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: TheDoctor on December 24, 2015, 10:33:46 AM
Hi, looking at the version history, 5.5 was release about a year ago now, is there a new version in the works?

Hi,

Yes, there's a new version on the go, mGalaxy is still actively under development!

The new version includes:
- mGalaxy_Runway: new system setup behavior. You now drag and drop the system you need (as many instance as you want) to build your system list. This will allow you, for instance, to create 3 different MAME systems!
- RetroArch added to available systems
- Screensaver (Attract Mode)
- Localization (french, german, spanish, portuguese)
- Select systems window: filters on arcade/computer/console
- Child lock settings
- Compatibility with all screen resolution (e.g. 640x480px)
- mGalaxy_Runway: database manager and creator

This last point being the most important needs more time to implement!

Merry Xmas,

What will the attract mode consist of?  Hopefully loading random games with inactivity?

Nice new features. I'm looking to use mGalaxy on my new cabinet.
Any idea when the new version is coming?

I myself would like to release it as soon as possible ;-)
I think that this imminent now...but if you're in a hurry I can send you a beta version (with all the new additions but the database creator)!

Oh, no hurry. But if you are looking for people to test it I'd be willing.

Thanks

I would love a copy! I already have my database created, so as long as it is compatible with 5.5 I am willing to try it out with the new features.

Yeah my 5.5 is looking great. I wouldn't mind the new features as well.

Keep un mind that i offer my help in coding if needed. I can even help without sources I guess for some parts, like some special functions/modules. Its written in C# isn't it ?

It's been a year since I inquired about the Ultimarc Ultrastik 360 being natively supported in mGalaxy. Please tell me this was managed. After a year I am finally going to get around to replacing my 4-way w/ a U360 and would love for it to auto load maps for specific joy types (2-Way "Galaga", Angled 4-Way "Q*Bert", 4-Way "DK", 360 "Food Fight", etc...)

If this IS a part of the new version. I'd also LOOOOOVE a beta w/o Database. lol

P.S. - I boot into my Favorites. If the screensaver played attracts of just those games...that would be so awesome.

The attract mode works under 4 available modes:
- All: pick games in the whole game list
- Displayed: pick games in the actually displayed games only (filtered list)
- Favorites: pick games in your favorite list only
- List: pick games in a custom text file

- All: pick games in the whole game list

Does this include non-working games in MAME? Which means it will display either a black screen or a series of garbled screen?

Now that it comes to mind, if you could add a filter to hide games which are labeled as "not working" and "preliminary" it would be much appreciated!

GAH! This is awesome. I can not wait to get this. As soon as this is released I'm buying the U360. Finally being able to play a decent game of Q*bert and Food Fight again through mGalaxy will be amazing.

Here's hoping CPS3 EMULATOR support is added as it performs much better with CPS3 roms then these multisystems, it would also be cool if there was an all games list so you didn't have to switch systems which would make cross system favorites also a reality.

Great work so far though, looking forward to v6.

Post by: Aeliss on February 28, 2016, 04:41:57 AM
On wich one game have you a better rendered game with CPS3 than with other system ?
It's possible to add it, it support command line, but need a script to escape.

Great! I see config info was added for it, when will we see the next version?

Will the way SSF works with DTLite get overhauled as well? It keeps telling me it can't find DTLite.exe even though it's installed but indeed the regisrty key doesn't match in mGalaxy_script but manuallu redoing the script is not in my general skill set as I wouldn't know where to start
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: Aeliss on March 07, 2016, 10:35:57 AM
ha ? Perhaps it's because a new DTlite version.
Can you try to search it in the registry ?
On windows, execute "regedit.exe" then ctrl + F and search for "DTLite.exe"

On the script it's "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\DTLite.exe"
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: reaperke on March 18, 2016, 03:46:31 AM
Well I've searched my entire registry and DTLite.exe, latest version, is nowhere to be found except under uninstall en file associations so it more than likely won't be that easy, I'm running it under win10 64-bit default install location if that helps
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: Aeliss on March 18, 2016, 11:09:30 AM
Ha, I have perhaps the answer make a try with "DTAgent.exe"

I wasn't aware there were resolution limits to mGalaxy.  I have an odd problem--I'm using FCEUX for Nintendo games.  First off, to load, it flickers several times before settling on a resolution and finally starting the game.  Then, on exit, mGalaxy returns but it's only about 3/4 of the screen, with my desktop in the background.

I wonder if this is a resolution-related problem?  I'm also on Windows 10, and running on a retina MacBook Pro (2880 x 1800) so there are a nother few variables...  FCEUX is the only emulator that does this, so it could likely be a configuration problem in the emulator... Anyway, just wondering if you've addressed super high DPI screens, especially ones where windows typically needs to have the elements scaled to 200%.
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: Aeliss on March 21, 2016, 01:51:24 PM
Have you tried different resolution on FCEUX setting ?

The bad resolution at mGalaxy return is the "endless battle" for mGalaxy ^^. You are trying the last version or the beta one ?
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: mgalaxy on March 21, 2016, 03:23:30 PM
This problem is fixed with the next mGalaxy version! In the meantime, as Aeliss rightly advises, you should set the resolution of your application to match the resolution of your monitor!
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: Aeliss on March 28, 2016, 05:09:55 AM
Someone have a return for using "DTAgent.exe" instead of "dtlite.exe" for SSF (daemon tool) for WIN10 ?
I don't see reaperke answer.

I'm curious to see what will be inside v6...what feature are you waiting for in that v6 ?
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?
Post by: Mihoshi20 on May 16, 2016, 08:29:31 AM
Aside from database management updates and changes, i think one of the most exciting features mentioned is the attract mode feature.
Title: Re: New version of mGalaxy soon?

Post by: jmd on August 02, 2017, 06:02:17 PM
No info on this subject!
What feature are you waiting for?
If you're missing a functionality in mGalaxy I would suggest you to ask for it here!
