Only getting ROM names in game lists
« on: November 03, 2015, 10:36:42 am »
Hi

I'm probably being a bit dim here, but I can't seem to get MaLa to display game names properly in lists - it just displays the ROM names.

I thought it may be due to the recent changes to the xml file output by MAME, so tried using an older version (.152), but still no dice.

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

[edit] Finally sussed this. Updating the main game list seemed to crash MaLa. I just left it for ages and it eventually created the list properly. No idea why it took so long - I only had a few ROMs in this install.

You can try with the 0151 version of mame.
