January, 21, 2018 [version 1.2 released]

    Maintenance release. 2 years without updates but with recent MAME v0.193 changes, driver status tags are no longer compatible with MCM+

    There's a lot of code cleaning, but almost nothing has changed to the end user. Some tweaks here and there and other minor fixes, mostly visual.

    MCM+ is no longer being developed. This tool's life cycle is reaching its end. Most of its features are supported in Emu Loader frontend already anyway (copy/move games files) and others can be adapted.

    Ever since MAME started to use muliple sets per game, game set and multiple device sets, it's become nearly impossible to backup your games with MCM+
What is the use of copying/moving partial files of the game ?

December, 23, 2016 [version 1.1.1 released]

    After one year of hiatus, I finally updated this tool to support latest MAME builds. Among the many user interface changes, MCM+ can now be maximized to your screen resolution! No more handling search results / work list in a tiny window... :)

    You can choose between three view modes:

1. tabbed view that separates search results and work list in two pages (great for 800x600 and 1024x768)

2. side by side view that shows both search results and work list in the same page (for 1280x720 and higher)

3. top/bottom view, for high resolutions (1920x1080 and higher). It's the same layout as older MCM+ builds.

    But wait... you also have customizeable columns (width, position, show/hide), customizeable game fonts, background color and game icon size. This customization is for search results / work list panels only! Everything else is still shown in a tiny window.

    A new feature Scan Games (Quick Scan) is implemented so you can see available/missing games in the list. Be aware that this is not a full ROMs validation, it's just a simple search for gamename.zip files.

    Want more ? How about support for all MAME image categories ? Software cover, game artwork, end, boss, logo, score, versus, game over, how to play, select.

    These are the main changes. I hope you like this new version as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Sadly, I had to remove support for MAME Plus! and MAMEUI derivates. MCM+ will stick with the official MAME  from now on... for simplicity. Derivates should get in line with recent MAME changes.

May, 09, 2014 [version 1.0.8 released]

    New version with some fixes and tweaks.
There's also support for category.ini file from MASH's MAMEINFO. MCM+ will atempt to detect if you are using catver.ini or category.ini as the files have different format.

March, 03, 2014 [version 1.0.7 released]

    Time for an update. Some things were added and others fixed.
Driver status filter has been expanded: driver, emulation, color, sound, graphic.
The IsMechanical tag is also supported. Screen orientation added by request. All new additions are used in the fiters when searching for games.

    And finally, improvements to the user interface. I've also implemented the virtual list mode to give a hell of a boost in the search games feature. Adding games to work list also gained speed. RAM usage is around 35 MBytes. This virtual mode is largely used in Emu Loader and EmuCon games lists.

    The website is new as well. I tried to keep it simple and small, suitable for 800x600 resolution. Visit the about page for some FAQ and info on this project :)
