Next beta version

Hi all
Some news on what's going on in beta 8 version.
I'm mostly working on the 'launch game' feature. It's quite tricky to get it working but it's almost done.
You can click the 'play' button when you select a game in the database or directly a file in a rom path. Romcenter will then scan the roms and identifies which files are needed to play the game. It attempts to make the game work, even if the files are not yet fixed, and the roms are spread in a lot of files across several folders.
Then the mame command is built, passing all rom folders and sample folders to the command line.
I still have some tests to do with chd and samples, but it seems good so far.
I also spotted some bugs here and there and fixed them. And of course the reported issues will be fixed as well.
Keep testing romcenter, espcially with the new mame 0.177 and report issues in the mantis page.
Thanks
