I wanted to create a custome mame.xml for 0.197 using Romlister or other tool but having a problem with the filtering rules...
I can't seem to find a rule that will allow the inclusion of the mslug games in the xml. Can anybody help??
when I check the supporting files (catver, nplayers, controls.xml) I find the following:
cat ver 197 shows them all as 'platform / shooter scrolling'.
nplayers 197 shows them all as '2P sim'
controls.xml doesn't include mslug games -
THIS seems to be the problem. IS this a known issue?So to be clear in romlister if I select the following as an example
mslug games are not included in the output file.
If I add mslug to the controls.xml then it is included in the filtered mame.xml.
In fact the filtered list only includes around 800 roms, which is much less than the 2000 - 3000 roms I expected based on my previous filtered mame list.
I also tried the lightspeed filtering tool and for some reason that would include mslug5 but none others.
I tried simple arcade multifilter but the romset generated didn't inculde mslug games.
I don't remember having this problem when I last filtered my list (circa mame 0.15x), though perhaps I did need to add them in manually.
If the mslug games are missing then there is potential for many others to be missing too, and I don't want a list that may miss the kind of games I like.
Is there a more complete controls.xml file?? It seems that many games could be missing with the latest version.
Or is there a way to include ALL games that are not in controls.xml? (subject to them also fitting the other criteria I specified above)
