NO MORE LISTINFO in 84!
Lilwolf:
For all frontend authors out there... I hope you made the move to xml a while ago.
Removed -listinfo option now that xml2info produces fully correct output. [Aaron Giles]
I'm at work right now, so I can't test it... but seems like it might cause some major problems across all frontends.
Luckily I moved to xml a while ago... I was about to move back (for some weird reasons) but now I'm glad I didn't.

.84 was released today, for the non-knowing.
SirPeale:
Just found that you can use the included tool, xml2info to convert that output to a -listinfo standard.
SirPoonga:
I went to complain on mame.net. I knew they would tend to lean towards listxml BUT I have found most of the xml parsers are slow. So you have your choice of two slow ways to get info from mame, -listxml or -listxml|xml2info.
I figured they'd go with the xml anyway as the listinfo is limitting in some cases.

That plain sucks! :P
