Suspending ES while launching a game has proven unreliable on Windows, but on some installations it works so it makes sense to let the user select it. It makes for a better and more seamless experience if it works as intended.
Also a general cleanup of CMakeLists.txt and many small code changes to satisfy Clang that complained quite a lot and actually wouldn't compile the binary at all at first.
As pugixml seems to be well supported nowadays and seems to ship with most distributions it's pretty pointless to keep bundling it with EmulationStation.
The variable %ROMPATH% now expands to the ROMDirectory setting in es_settings.cfg which removes the need for absolute ROM paths (although absolute paths are still supported). Custom collections with absolute paths can still be loaded for backward compatibility with old custom collections.
* adds a new configuration option ("CollectionShowSystemInfo" = bool), in the 'Game Collections Settings' GUI. Defaults to previous behavior (true).
* reloads the Collection when the configuration is changed.
Adds the ability for users to change the following features in OMX Player's subtitles (game info for screen saver).
- font size
- font file path
- italic font file path
- subtitle position
These changes can be made in the GUI menus via the Video Screen Saver menu, or directly in the es_settings.cfg file.
Safe OMX Player defaults are hard-coded into the EmulationStation application.
Here's an example of the new keys loaded/saved into in the es_settings.cfg file:
- `<int name="SubtitleSize" value="38" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleFont" value="/usr/local/share/fonts/slkscr.ttf" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleItalicFont" value="/usr/local/share/fonts/slkscrb.ttf" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleAlignment" value="center" />`
Starting up emulationstation takes me about 1 minute over the network
with a large collection of 27 systems with images.
This patch uses the loading screen to tell the user about the status
of the startup, with information how many systems are left for view
initialization.
The most beefy part of the startup process is initializing the views,
and preloading images.
This patch extends the `renderLoadingScreen` function to take a string
and uses it in `ViewController::preload`.
v2: Add SplashScreenProgress option enabled by default.
