release2.14.4

I have improved the Global Search algorithm. Now it accepts logical operators AND OR.
Fix a hidden bug found in the [Main] Window search engine.
Add option for user to select ROM Folder in the [Easy Mode - Add System] Window.
Improve the algorithm for detection of emulator parameters. It was wrongly picking parameters as invalid. This algorithm is hard to develop due to the variety of possible arguments in the parameter field.
I remove the parameter validation requirement to save a System in the [Expert Mode] Window.
Update the emulator version and emulator download links in the easymode.xml.
I develop a mechanism to detect the version of installed emulators in the [Easy Mode - Add System] Class. The method will install the emulator and core only when there is a new version available, otherwise the method will skip installation.

• Implemented an auto-update feature for the application when there is a new release. Functionality is still in testing.

If you find any bugs, please report them here on GitHub or use the Bug Report Window inside 'Simple Launcher'. Any reported bugs will be fixed promptly.

release2.13.0

I have implemented an experimental algorithm to check the emulator parameters. It will check the folder location and file location and allow relative paths.

I have also improved the extraction method that extracts files to a temporary folder in case the system extracts any files.

Additionally, I have made minor bug fixes.

release2.12.1

I've improved the error notification system.
Also fixed a bug with the emulator location check. Thanks to bigroy00 for identifying the bug.
I've implemented code to use the MAME game description instead of the filename in the Video link and Info link.
Additionally, I've implemented code to handle missing mame.xml and missing system_model.xml files.

release2.12.0

I have implemented basic checks for the System Folder, System Image Folder, and Emulator Location. The app will notify the user if the values in these fields are incorrect. Users can use both absolute and relative paths for any of these fields.
I have also made the exception notifications more user-friendly.
Additionally, I've devised a smart method for generating the system.xml file. If the system.xml file is present, the app will use it. If not, the app will search for any backup files in the folder and ask the user if they want to restore from that backup. In case no backup is found, the app will create a basic system.xml. This approach prevents users from inadvertently overwriting their custom system.xml and losing their personal configuration.

release2.11.2.23

I've fixed a bug in the 'Show Games' option. Now it's working properly.
