v0.4.0.2-beta - Feature and documentation update:

  • Volume normalization. Added a new feature which provides the ability to specify sound volume adjustments for individual roms. See end of readme.txt in ..\Assets folder for more information about how to use volume.ini to do this.
  • Attract mode timer pause. Added a new feature that will temporarily pause automatic game switching to lock your arcade machine to the currently active game by using the hotkey ctrl-alt-l, or by holding the pause key down for several seconds. The latter method is disabled by default, but may be turned on by setting the pause_lock= setting in arcadeEIP.ini. See Configuration Reference Guide.pdf for more information.
  • Kiosk Mode is now turned on by default. This better reflects how arcadeEIP is intended to work stand-alone (i.e. a short press of the period key will toggle the menu and a long press exits). You may reverse this behavior by setting kiosk_mode=0, which may be preferred if you are using arcadeEIP as a launcher from another Front End.
  • Corrected documentation to clarify the use of util.exe to run the -sound option (instead of eip.exe).
  • Removed non-game records from default .meta file for MAME to better declutter the default MAME game list.
  • Added preliminary instructions for integrating LEDBlinky with arcadeEIP to ..\Docs[Application]\LEDBlinky.txt (thanks to JaysArcade)
  • Added new pause_apps= setting to [System] sections of arcadeEIP.ini to permit triggering applications to run upon pause/unpause. See Configuration Reference Guide.pdf for more information.
  • Removed feature that automatically enabled/disabled Windows taskbar autohide setting. Replaced this with a new hide_taskbar= option in [Front_End] sections of arcadeEIP.ini. See Configuration Reference Guide.pdf for more information.
  • Fixed bug preventing run once apps specified with a "+" in the run_apps setting of [Front_End_os] from running.
