@rdyott AEL in master is currently a disaster. It is undergoing a massive refactoring, with lot of stuff not working or working precariously. Currently I am in an AML development cycle. I had some new ideas like 3D box generation I want to push forward, and I have neglected AEL a bit. AML is almost complete, 3D box and PDF reader are working OK. When finished, I'll focus on AEL again. Currently I'm thinking about a new implementation that separates ROM audit from Parent/Clone generation, also accommodating multidisk ROMs and unofficial/hack ROMs. I do not want to repeat previous mistakes so this time I will write a design document and then implement it (and not the other way around, have an idea, implement it, and the realise it doesn't work as expected).

When the design doc is ready I will publish it in the AEL thread so everyone will have a say before the actual implementation starts.

@Wintermute0110 my game collection is "simple" i havnt even set up my MAME collection yet.. its massive.  but what does AML do that AEl cant? My understanding is that AEL would be a complete emulator addon, and AML would be like AEL Lite. utilized for mame.?

what do you suggest i use in the meantime? since you say master is FUBAR currently.


Sorry for thread hijack Rufoo. I just started to set up the new Lyrebird skin. i had issue when i "updated" it.. it seems that a deletion of old version and then computer reboot and then reinstall of new version was needed.

Ill test more when the larger more detailed version is released. as you have mentioned you have things that will be fixed in that version already.
