Releases: Asnivor/MedLaunch
MedLaunch v0.5.6.0
http://medlaunch.asnitech.co.uk/releases/0-5-6-0
Important Release Notes
This release introduces a number of bugfixes, along with a games library context-menu option for multi-disc (m3u) games that allows you to pick the disc you want to launch mednafen with (implementing the mednafen '-which_medium' command).
Sub-categorisation of certain systems has also been implemented, meaning that you can easily tell apart and sort Gameboy/Gameboy Color, NGP/NGC, NES/FDS and WSWAN/WSWANC. Game scraping also now implements these sub-categories, along with a bunch of optimisations that should make the scraping more accurate.
In order for this to implement correctly you will have to rescan your affected ROMS
The other major implementation is the ability to download and extract the latest compatible version of Mednafen (x64). This also ties into the first-time initialisation of MedLaunch, enabling you to select or create an empty directory (rather than just an existing mednafen directory) and have MedLaunch automatically download and extract Mednafen.
There is also (still) an official MedLaunch mednafen server running in the UK. More details can be found here:
http://node.asnitech.co.uk/ and the server is automatically listed in the server browser within MedLaunch.
Notable Additions
- (Feature) For multi-disc games added a context menu launch option to choose the disc you wish to boot from initially
- (Feature) Added sub-categorisation to the games library view (based on ROM extension). Gameboy/Gameboy Color, WSWAN/WSWAN-Color etc..
- (Feature) Megadrive/Genesis games scraping updated to use detected region (based on DAT lookup). Manual scrape where region is not explitly US or EUR/JPN displays results from both sets. Auto scrape performs the same, except the 'prefer genesis' scraping option is used to determine which system to auto-scrape if region info is not found
- (BugFix) Improved auto-scraping accuracy (more accurate scrapes, less 'missed' games)
- (Feature) Implemented code to check for, and manually download the latest compatible mednafen version (x64 only) and extract into configured mednafen folder (resides under the 'updates' tab)
- (Feature) First time init now gives the option to choose/create a new directory (rather than just an existing mednafen directory) so that the latest compatible mednafen version can be downloaded and extracted (mednafen x64 only)
- Some other bugfixes that can be found in the CHANGELOG
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 - 0.9.45 - 64-bit version is required if you want to emulate Saturn games).
- You are then prompted to choose whether to import all config settings from your Mednafen folder into the MedLaunch database (this is recommended).
- If you currently use system-specific config files with Mednafen the settings from these will be imported with the above process. However MedLaunch will write to these files when you launch a game - so back them up somewhere if you are not happy with this.
Upgrade
Preferred Method:
- Automatically download and upgrade using the 'Updates' tab within MedLaunch itself.
- Ensure you have the a supported version of Mednafen installed (v0.9.39.x - v0.9.45.x)
- Once MedLaunch has upgraded, go to the 'Configs' tab and click the 'IMPORT ALL CONFIGS FROM DISK' button
- In settings change your mednafen directory if you installed the new version of mednafen somewhere else
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.
- Once MedLaunch has upgraded, go to the 'Configs' tab and click the 'IMPORT ALL CONFIGS FROM DISK' button
- In settings change your mednafen directory if you installed the new version of mednafen somewhere else
MedLaunch v0.5.5.2
http://medlaunch.asnitech.co.uk/releases/0-5-5-2
0.5.5.2 Fixes:
- Fixed MobyScraper bug that was forcing MedLaunch into an infinite scraping loop and causing the application to hang
0.5.5.1 Fixes:
- WonderSwan games now launch
- 'Launch game and view/edit launch string' window text area is now properly visable on smaller resolutions
Important Release Notes (Major 0.5.5.x Release Branch)
This release introduces support for the last two major Mednafen releases (0.9.44.x & 0.9.45.x) as well as a number of bugfixes and requested features implemented.
There has been also an almost complete re-write of the games library display code. This should improve performance, but also enables multi-column sorting (click one column to sort, then shift-click a second column for secondary sorting etc.). All column sorting and layout states are saved dynamically on a per-system filter basis.
There is still a fair amount of stuff to implement, so please check the github issues page to see where we are at currently.
There is also an official MedLaunch mednafen server running in the UK (this has been added to the server browser in MedLaunch as of this release). More details can be found here:
http://node.asnitech.co.uk/
Notable Additions
- (Feature) Games library overhaul - implemented multi-tier sorting and library state saving (per system filter)
- (Feature) Migrated gamesdb and mobygames json lookup files into a more manageable SQLite database
- (Feature) Added compatibility with mednafen 0.9.44.1 (snes_faust aspect ratio commands, vb LED onstate option, Wonderswan config changes and new virtual gamepad device)
- (BugFix) Enabled lookup of Famicom Disk System games on thegamesdb.net (for scraping)
- (BugFix) Games library view now updates correctly when disc-based games are manually added
- (Feature) Added compatibility with mednafen 0.9.45.1 (ss lightgun selection and crosshair color for all virtual ports)
- (Feature) Added official MedLaunch netplay server into server list
- Numerous BugFixes - see the full changelog for more info

MedLaunch v0.5.0.0
http://medlaunch.asnitech.co.uk/releases/0-5-0-0
Important Release Notes
This is a pretty large release with many core changes. Please report any bugs on the github issues page if you find them.
Scanning of Disc Games: This is now implemented and working. However, games must be separated into sub-folders (one game disc or discs per folder) otherwise they will be ignored.
Archives with Multiple Roms: This is now handled correctly in MedLaunch, providing the archive is either zip or 7zip - with no sub-folders within the archives and no archives within archives.
Controller Configuration: This was a pain in the backside. It attempts to emulate the way mednafen configures controllers - so xinput controllers (xbox360, xbone) will be detected correctly and everything else will use directinput. All seems to be working so far with my limited test controllers. Keyboard mapping should work correctly. Any bug-spotting would be much appreciated.
Notable Additions
- (Feature) MedLaunch now supports mednafen versions 0.9.39.x through 0.9.43
- (Feature) Game controls can now be configured from within MedLaunch under the 'Controls' tab. This attempts to mirror the way mednafen configures devices (xinput for compatible devices, directinput for keyboard and other gamepads/joysticks). This is currently experimental and any bugs should be reported
- (Feature) Auto-scanning & import of disc games! (see release notes for caviats)
- (Feature) On launch, psx game serial numbers are extracted from disc image(s) and an SBI file offered (if one is needed and available)
- (Feature) MedLaunch can now import multiple ROMs per archive (zip/7z) file (see release notes for restrictions)
- (Feature) PSX and Saturn games now have library details automatically populated on scan (by serial number lookup)
- (Feature) Added country filter radiobuttons (ALL, USA, EUR, JPN) to the games library. These filters obviously only work if the 'Country' field has been populated (either by DAT lookup or scrape). There is also an option to hide these filters on the settings tab
- Numerous BugFixes - see the full changelog for more info.
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 - 0.9.43 - 64-bit version is required if you want to emulate Saturn games).
- You are then prompted to choose whether to import all config settings from your Mednafen folder into the MedLaunch database (this is recommended).
