New AEL release 0.9.3
Release notes
Release 0.9.3 improves the support for ROM Collections and the repairing of ROMs in Favourites. Also, the edition of asset/images for categories/launcher/ROMs has been improved a lot. Windows users now can easily create launchers having LNK as ROM files, which seems to be important for people who use Steam. The number of platforms have been increased to 50, covering a broad range of consoles/computers. Finally, some bugs have been fixed.
As usual, please report if you find any bugs or have a feature request.
For 0.9.4 I plan to implement extrafanart for Categories/Launchers/ROMs. This will cause some disruption in the ROM database...
