Multiple System Emulator - ares v132 - Released

Details: Category: Multiple Platform; Published: 08 March 2023

What's New:

General User Interface Tweaks
- Various changes have been made to the ares GUI in an attempt to improve user experience.
- The "Recent Games" list has been updated to show the System name alongside the game names in the "Recent Games" list, avoiding confusion when the same title is available on multiple systems.
- The "Color Bleed" setting is now disabled by default; this option only applies to the SNES core and was causing confusion due to the default settings of ares not being pixel-perfect.
- For those using alternative front-ends, it is now possible to select a shader when launching ares from the command line with the --shader parameter.
- Ares will now attempt to show an error if running on an unsupported processor, rather than silently crashing.

Screen Scaling
- The changes here are significant enough to warrant their own section.
- The multiplier scale settings are now radio buttons, allowing the user to see which option is selected, additionally, a 1x scale option is now provided for those who want the window to be 'actual size' of the emulated framebuffer.
- Available scale sizes are no longer bound by the current monitor size, avoiding the situation where a selected option may disappear if the user changes monitor or resolution, and the resizing code has been updated to prevent the window growing larger than the active display; so you never lose access to the main menu.
- The window resizing logic now avoids un-maximizing the window, if the user has manually done so, even when adaptive sizing is enabled; making it less frustrating to use ares in a maximised window.
- The scaling options have been renamed to better describe their function and two new scaling modes have been added:
- "Center" has been renamed to "Scale (Integer)"
- "Scale" has been renamed to "Scale (Best Fit)"
- A new setting: "Pixel Perfect" has been added, which always displays a 1x scale image in the center of the display, regardless of the window size
- A new setting: "Scale (Fixed)" which will always display an image matching the users selected scale factor (1x, 2x, etc) regardless of screen size.
