I have the same issue with mame64 .194 on windows 10

I'm guessing it's out of date and no longer works :/

Hey guys.

You need to open your MAME XML then hit Ctrl+H on your keyboard to open the Replace box.

Replace all instances of Machine with game.

Rescan media and you should be good to go.

Problem I have with this is that MA keeps rebuilding the gameslist.xml files and in so doing overwrights what I just renamed.. I tried telling MA not to rescan but It still does..
Best of the Best of the Best. Sir!
