Outstanding User Issues (Bugs) as of 02/12/2021:
05.26.21: A couple of new users mentioned Windows Defender is now flagging ESGME as containing Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.B. After diving into the issue
it appears it may be a false-positive because the ESGME.exe binary is not signed using a Code Signing certificate. The yearly cost to obtain and maintain a code-signing certificate is out of scope for this software since
there's no revenue to support it. The costs for certificates range from $100-$400 per year just to make Windows 10 happy. I will continue to investigate other options and continue to dig into why this is flagged all the sudden
but my guess is they've updated their definitions and are catching something benign. Please make sure when you do download the ESGME.zip to use the SHA1 Fingerprint to make sure it matches
with the one I originally uploaded - that way it will guarantee it wasn't tampered with after I uploaded it.
I manually re-scanned the download file to see for myself using Windows Defender (Security Intelligence Version 1.339.1425.0, Updated 5/26/2021 1:43 AM) and 0 threats were found after scanning the 59 files.
These trusted anti-virus scanners also found nothing when scanning the same file: Avast, BitDefender, Comodo, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, McAfee, Sophos, Symantec, TrendMicro. So, I'm left scratching my
head as to why the recent findings.
ver. 1.0.21.212 | February 2021
Changed: Changed required .net framework version from 4.5 to 4.5.2 to better support HDPI in the future (user requested)
Added: File"-> Save, to save currently Open Gamelist file in place. (user requested)
Added: ESGME will now check for games that are assigned to the same Game ROM (i.e. duplicates). Games referring to the same ROM (i.e. Path) are not allowed in a gamelist.xml, this is by design in the emulators.
Added: New Game List Menu -> Top 25 Played Games
Added: New Game List Menu -> View Gamelist File Information, to view File path, Date last modified and file size information
Added: New Game List Menu -> Open Gamelist File Location, to open File Explorer to the currently opened gamelist.xml file directory
Fixed: potential file save as bug, window topmost bug, potential editing issue with games using same path and rom, etc.
Changed: Based on user feedback, after deleting a game, focus is now set to the gamelist so Up/Down arrow keys are seen again for game navigation.
Added: New menu Item for About->Check for Updates. This will make a web-call to the ESGME website to compare your version with the latest version available for download. Zero information is sent to the website, just a call to get a version.txt file which contains the latest version for comparison.
