Project64 Settings

[zilmar]

I am redoing all the internals and the UI around settings. One thing I think should be dropped is the shell integration. Unless I am wrong and please tell me if I am this is a feature that is basically never used? What do people think about the simple/advanced settings .. Any new settings people would like? Suggestions on layout, etc .. if you have any thoughts this is the best time to give a suggestion since I am working on it.
Some of the things planned:

• When updating some configuration for a game, it will update the cfg file instead of the rdb. That way I can always often a reset back to original settings.
• Being able to set plugins for individual
• Removal of shell integration
• Change the settings configuration UI to a tree list of pages instead of a tab list as it currently is (to be able to offer more pages and better organized) current version is running out of space.
• Bold the setting that have been changed so you can easily see what is different.

 
Hopefully I will be able to achieve what is above, but happy to hear any other suggestions.

Yeah the shell intergration is unused at least to me. it would be pretty neat if you could have the boxart for the roms in the romslist. yay 1st comment!

btw will the next Project64 emulator be released to the public, or releasing the beta downloads to the public?

this for now we will assume its for project 64 beta and to let you know 1.7 is far more unstable then 1.6.

Exciting to hear the new Zilmar!!! The only thing I would add is to suggest you simply/reduce the amount of settings that really don't ever need to be adjusted or do virtually nothing: SP Hack, Delay SI Interrupt,etc. The ini can always be adjusted worst case scenerio.
Also, ditch shell integration and whatever else you deem unneccessary. That way you won't need a toggle for advanced or not. You can just have something nice in the middle. I have no idea if most people use this toggle but I can't really image they do.

Tooltips would be nice but very time consuming. I think I would rather you dedicate your time elsewhere.

Don't forget to fix the recompiler issue with the beta & Beetle Racing if you can!
