FRI Version 1.7.0.2

This release of FRI is thanks to Flotsam, who took it upon him self to write out a very detailed email describing problems with FRI.  His email was so succinct and clear, giving the root of the problem and not simply the symptoms, that I was able to make the requested changes in under 20 minutes.  In fact, it took longer to prepare the release than it did to code it!

Flotsam’s email address: (yes, the text is a picture.  I don’t want him getting automated bot spam!)

Now for the release.  FRI version 1.7.0.2 contains updated to the default Platform Vocabulary, as well as a fix to a bug that I will describe in detail below.

Download FRI version 1.7.0.2 here

To get the updates to the Platform Vocabulary, open the Settings window, click on the "Platform Vocabulary" tab, click the "Defaults" button, and click OK on the dialogue box.  This will overwrite your current platform vocabulary with the new defaults.

Change Log:

• "Compact Disc Interactive" added to the Platform Vocabulary, with "CDi" and "CD-i" as other names for the platform.
• The GameCube entry in the Platform Vocabulary was updated to make change the display name from "Game Cube" to "GameCube".  Variations of the name were added as other names, such as "Nintendo GameCube".
• The extension "gcm" was added as a unique extension for GameCube in the Platform Vocabulary.
• "Xbox" added to the Platform Vocabulary.  Variations of the name (including "Microsoft Xbox (original)" and "Xbox 1") were added as other names
• Bug Fix: In previous versions of FRI, file extensions were case sensitive.  That would mean that if, for example, a ROM was called "game.GB"  it would not be recognized even though "gb" was listed as a ROM extension in the Platform Vocabulary.  This problem is fixed in this release.
• Bug Fix: Previous versions of FRI would include the ROM database in the Default Settings File created by "Edit"->"Advanced"->"Generate Default Settings File".  This feature is only used in developing FRI, so it didn’t affect users.  At any rate, the bug is fixed in this release.
