Test7 is a multi emulator frontend.
Instead of a list of game names, it displays a tiled view of thumbnails (one
for each game).

It's based on the library "Slick" (http://slick.cokeandcode.com)
and use the Apache Batik SVG Toolkit (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/).

The config file is in JSON format (http://www.json.org)

To start the front-end (requires Java version 6 at least):
java -jar test7.jar

At launch, Test7 unzips the necessary natives libraries in the current
directory.
Linux:
You must include this directory in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Windows:
The current directory is normaly automatically added to the PATH.

If it doesn't exist, Test7 creates a template config file test7.json

The config files is divided in three parts:
- display
- emulators
- games

Summary of the display configuration:
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
- screenWidth and screenHeight : sizes in pixels of the screen.
- fullscreen : true/false.
- keyDelay (optional 500ms by default): time in ms for key repetition.
- nbColumns and nbRows : number of thumbnails displayed on a page.
- percentRowSpacing and percentColumnSpacing (optional 1% by default): blank
space between rows and columns in percent of the screen size.
- pageScrollTime (optional 300ms by default): time in ms of the
page-scrolling effect.
- cursorMoveTime (optional 100ms by default): time in ms for the cursor to
move from one thumbnail to another.
- rotate (optional no rotation by default): rotate the display. -1 = -90°; 1
= +90°; 0 = no rotation.
- multiThread (optional true by default): true/false; By default Test7 load
the thumbnails in a separate thread.
So you can start your navigation through the games while the thumbnails are
loaded.
But it seems there's a bug which sometimes freezes the application (occures
in fullscreen with Vista)
- svgMaskFilename (optional test7/mask.svg by default) : filename of the svg
file used as a mask on each thumbnail.

Emulators:
""""""""""
- id : reference used in the game part.
- command : command used to start the emulator (with options if needed).
Exemple: "c:/temp/znes/zsnesw.exe -m" to start the ZNES emulator in command
line mode.
- romsDirectory : directory containing the roms of this emulator.
- picturesDirectory : directory containing the pictures used to create the
thumbnails.

Games:
""""""
- file : name of the file. Exemple : "superGame.zip"
The directory is the one associated with the emulator (see above).
- name : displayed name of the game.
- picture (optional): By default Test7 uses the filename of the game with one
these suffixes : "bmp,jpg,jpeg,png,gif"
to construct the filename of the game.
Exemple: "superGame.zip" becomes "superGame.png"
This parameter permit to use a totally different filename for the picture.
The directory is the one associated with the emulator (see above).
- emulatorOption (optional): add some options to the command line of the
emulator.
- emulatorId : Identifiant of the emulator used to launch this game.
