Easy way to edit Mame.lst file in Maximus 2.10?

(1/3) > >>

Wzrd0803:
Is there a program that I can use to easily edit the mame.lst file in Maximus Arcade 2.10?  If you do a rescan of roms it creates a new mame.lst file which includes the ROM files in the list of games when you run MA.  I keep having to edit and remove the ROM files from the list of games every time I rescan.

Or, is there a way to tell MA NOT to include the ROM files in the game list?

djlunchbox:
how often are you rescanning? and why?

what i usually do is delete the.lst file before i rescan. Although i have narrowed my mamelist to about 1100 games and dont plan to add.

I think what you're indicating is either:
A) you have more actual MAME games (zip files) than you want displayed in Maximus.
or B) Maximus is showing all possible MAME games out there, whether you have them or not.

To 'edit' MAME.lst in Maximus, open Preferences, go to "Game Lists" tab. Under sub-tab "Game Lists", select MAME under "Configuration for:".  From there delete the ones you don't want to show in Maximus.

Once you get your MAME.lst file to your liking, make a copy of it for backup.
Then also, don't re-scan.

Yeah Maximus is showing the games+the rom files every time I rescan so I keep having to edit the game lists and remove the rom files from the list. I really shouldn't keep editing and removing the rom files from the list until I am done with everything but I have kids playing inbetween adding and they keep clicking on the ROM files as if they were games to play LOL.
