Please Help - Index Out of Range Error

<< < (3/3)

mud2005:
Hello, I have been using Maximus Arcade for years, recently I upgraded my mame version to .160 and fixed all my broken roms to work with the new version.
All my roms were running fine in MAME, but when I tried to start in MA I got the index out of range error.
*SOLUTION*
I deleted the gamelist.xml file in the mame folder and went into MA prefs and under options click the mame tab then change the radio button "MAME rom description built using MAME generated XML gamelist"
to
"MAME rom description built using ClrMAME Pro database (mame.dat)"
after I did this I opened MA and got no index out of range error and all my roms worked great!
hope this helps someone, I googled the solution and found nothing, then tried every setting in MA to finally get it working :)

This error is caused by the gamelist.xml file created by newer versions of the MAME emulator being misunderstood by Maximus Arcade. I tested this on a "clean" Maximus Arcade, and the error persists.

The solution is to generate a gamelist.xml file using an older version of the MAME emulator, then replace all the words "machine" with "game," and copy the file to the folder with the newer version of MAME. This worked for me, and the program generated a game list.

Check whether all games in the ROMs folder appear in the MA game list. If any are missing or won't launch, verify the names in the gamelist.xml file, as the ROM name in the older version of MAME may have been different from the newer version.
