Future Plans
Release 0.5 is what the initial release should have been - but wasn't - as it was rushed for the XMas GamebaseAmiga release. However, without that push I'm not sure when I would have got to this stage - so thanks Belgarath!
Main plans are
- Replace the remaing buttons "play game", "extras" etc, with decent icons - once I can find some free ones.
- Add the "setup dialoges" so that you can configure the paths from with GBPlayer - rather than Gamebase.
- Add ability to create/save you own filters.
- Sort the music players out - as it's possible to have 3 music plaayers all running at the same time (in GBST!)
- Re-work the bottom game detail grid - as I'm not too happy with it.
- Maybe create an "editor" - so that view Gemus info/adding games is possibly from GBPlayer????
- Include "add favorate", as well as export/import for db-updates.
- Resolution switching on startup/emulator lauch (for ArcadeVGA cards)
- Fix "flicker" on "Related games" (and sometimes on prequel/sequel)
- Add option to run emulator ontop of a fully black screen.
- Inlcuded CRC's - maybe useful for upcomming Gamebase CompilationST project - see below
- Look at adding MAME support - but this needs versions - see below
- Add "version" support - and "Compilation support",
Completed
- Background image changes
- Alter background image so that you can tile it, centre it, stretch/shrink it etc.
- Add option to fix the resolution of the UI - (for large backdrop non-tiled images).
- Add "plugins"/database - which would allow for specific database functions, such as (eg GBAmiga) :-
- linkage to HOL
- copy multi-disk games to a specified location, to make game switching easier
- Send keystrokes to emukators on startup - ie cntr-F12 to enable Winue full screen
- Fix grid/column headers
- Save selected columns
- Profile code and maybe alter Access database code to give a speed increase.
- Complete filters
- Add selected columns to the default profile.
