Features
QuickPlay is a multi-emulator frontend,compatible with a
great number of emulators, and with a wide range of features:
Advanced features for MAME - automatically
rename MAME ROMs to the correct names.
Also now you can use the Catver.ini
file to find MAME game Types, and
support for using Mamu's icon set
in your ROM listings
Support for GoodMerge ROMsets, configure QuickPlay to automatically launch
the ROM of your choice from a GoodMerge ROM, or "look inside" a compressed
file to run whatever game you want.
Emu-Finder - an automatic way to find
all supported emulators on your computer
and add them to the emulator database
- can save LOTS of manual work! This
feature is also infinitely expandable
with new Dat files which add to its
capability. The DAT files have been
updated, and now include nearly all
the emulators on Zophars Domain.
Full support for Zip Files for those emulators which don't support this
popular compression format. Read only support for RAR, ACE and 7ZIP files.
QuickPlay also now comes a wide
variety of compression utilties built-in. Included is a Mass File
uncompressor, a Mass File Compressor, Compressed file renamer, and a Mass
file verifier which checks for 'valid' files.
Also QuickPlay can now scan inside a compressed file, so if you have
put all your ROMs inside one compressed file QuickPlay is capable of
scanning your ROMs which can then be extracted and run automatically
play IPS hacks of games. Thanks to DAN for the code.
Backup tool, once you have QuickPlay set up
how you like it, backup your configuration files
and then if you make a fatal mistake later you
can restore from the backups!
Virtual Folder support, you can do a search on all your ROMs
and save the results as a Virtual Folder, to keep that search
for all time. The Virtual Folder is always up to date with
any new ROMs you add.
Drag and Drop support. Now you can
drag your ROMs from one folder to
another so you can sort your ROMs
into genres, or just your favourites!
Also you can drop files from Windows
Explorer into QuickPlay and they will
be added to your ROM lists!
Virtual Tree view means that your
ROM lists will always load super quick,
even if you have thousands of ROMs!
Media Panel is capable of displaying
ROM related images, and can launch
other media such as FAQs and videos
in the system default player.
Dodgy support for running QuickPlay from Read-Only media.
Directory Mirroring, set up a folder
in Quickplay to mirror a directory
on your hard drive, and with one click
of a button Quickplay will ensure
its data reflects the status of the
folder! Ideal for people who regularly
download new ROMS.
Multi-directory Scanner, for scanning
a large amount of directories for
ROMs, from one handy dialog.
Folder based database for storing
ROMs - you add them once and they
stay there, so you don't have to repeatedly
scan ROMs.
Favourite ROMs - you can add your
favourite ROMs into a favourites list
which is easily accessible from the
main menu, no need to go looking for
that game you always play!
Find ROM - when you need to find a
certain ROM, but cant remember where
it is - simply use the search and
enter the first few characters of
the ROM name and hit search!
Output to XHTML/XML/Text - you can now output
your ROM listings into an XHTML file
for showing off to your friends! There
are various output options, one of
the most useful is the option to output
any MAME games that are not on your
system.
Windows XP theme support.
And many more...
