Rom Paths Dialog
« on: January 30, 2012, 12:20:32 AM »
Hi

Please make the rom paths dialog to be vertical in nature and not horizontal. It would be easier to navigate

Also if possible, please label the supplementary path tabs as being supplementary. Maybe with the supplement paths being separate from the 1st path with a blank space or something ?

You're right, I agree.

Would be easier if Rompaths window had rompaths in a vertical order (as the old 4 and 8 Rompaths versions made for earlier version of FBA).
A squared window could be enough, also, as FBA already has "tab feature" it could mix all paths in a single window, with different tabs:

This would be a GREAT and WONDERFUL improvement for FBA!!!.
And it seems to be easy to program!.

Also, a few paths more (up to 24-30) would be more than welcome!!

At some point I plan to condense most of the misc menu down into a nice options dialog. :)

I know that I'm "postting the same topic in several forums or multiple times to gain attention to it" (it's just the second time! ;p), but please, I still think that this could be a good idea for "Rom Dialogs". FBA will turn into a kind of almanch of games!

I honestly have no interest, I added the game info dialog, but took that out recently. Things like that are far better suited to front-ends and/or UI versions of MAME/MESS.

Couldn't agree more. FBA started to get quite bloated. It was very nice to have some of that stuff ripped out.

Also made the X64 build easier. :)
