Can't use Mame to create Mamelist.xml -- anyone have a copy?
« on: August 12, 2017, 08:30:52 pm »
I just updated all my roms to .188 and I am trying to create a new mamelist.xml but mame fails to create it every time.  Does anyone have a copy or knows why it isn't working? I tried using Don's tools to do it and it just says something about there being a syntax error maybe so it didn't work. I end up with a 0 byte file after 30m of processing.

How are you trying to create the mamelist.xml file? Also where is your mame executable located and where are you trying to save the mamelist.xml file to?

I'm in work right now but I will try to generate mamelist.xml from .188 later on and see if it works for me.
