FBA Extras R19 WIP





@IQ_132: I might need a little help from you to do a better text parsing because this one is giving me some probs  , I will be sending you a pm with the details later

Hey IQ, check this out  ....If you like that, I think you will like what I made with your help now ^^





I did a research about the stuff missing to get the file length and modified the way text is sent to the richtext box, now it is posible to make the DATs RTF (Rich Text Format) and they will show just like in MS Word (without some stuff like Images & Links but thats nothing  )

btw, Unicode is working with this too as you seen in the pics

SeeYaa!

ThanX J.A...

btw, not only Hardware & Rominfo, it will have almost everything that you find on the MAME info  ...

Im just working in making the RTF DATs package so when I release the next version you only have to download the pack and start using the feature ^^...

here you have some sshots of the feature showing different info ...









SeeYaa!

I'll be working in Cave / Sega  game info dats probably this night when I get a break  , and then will start with Toaplan / CPS1 & Misc tomorrow...the most time consuming will be NeoGeo dats but I still got motivation left for this ^^...

btw, this that im working take time because Im not only cutting and pasting the info, Im taking time to modify every DAT to be readable and exclusive for FB Alpha  .

SeeYaa!

Looks nice.

Just a thought though - why not make the rom info come direct from FBA? That will it will always be current and you don't have to worry about updating it every release.

ThanX Treble! ^^

I was trying to make it like that but I did not succeed, maybe when I release the code you can look at it and tell me if its posible with it .

Edit*

btw, I was planning on donating this feature to you along with every game info DAT that im taking time to create, so you can release FB Alpha with this nice feature ... I thought that since their size is reduced when compressed you could add the directory where they are with every official release, just like you do with the readme.txt, kaillera.dll, etc  . 

SeeYaa!
