Insight into emuControlCenter 0.9

Andreas Scheibel talks about the release of emuControlCenter 0.9. For the uninitiated, he explains that emuControlCenter (ECC) is a ROM-manager for retro and new console/computer games.

This release contains many new features, requested by the users of ecc and fixes the most known bugs. Some of the features highlighted are:

• Advanced Datfile-Format: the emuControlCenter datfiles contains information about languages, state of the ROM, developer and more. This information can be transferred via ecc-datfiles.
• romdb Internet database integration: with emuControlCenter, you can directly add ROMs to the Internet database, called 'ecc-romdb'.
• Gtk Theme-Support: it's possible to customize how your ECC looks, by giving it a Gtk+ 2.0 theme.
• ZIP-Support: emuControlCenter can get the checksums directly without unpacking compressed files (ZIP). It's also possible to parse one ore more ROMs from a single ZIP-File.
