NO MORE LISTINFO in 84!
SirPoonga:
Minwah, yeah, that's what you have to do. Annoying isn't it, first the xml file has to be generated, which is larger than listinfo was. Then it has to be converted. Time consuming. An xml parser won't gain you that much time either unfortunately.

Thanks for confirming...
IMO The MAME dev's should have left -listinfo in, even if all it did was '-listxml|xml2info'...
PacManFan:
Yeah, the removal of the listinfo kind of blows. Since Kymaera already uses XML for everything else, it shouldn't be too difficult to get it to parse the listxml output directly.

ultrastyle has suffered the same fate as the rest of you. I was baffled for a little while as to why they would remove it and leave it in the supporting txt documents. Just to give us a headache I guess. Do you guys think they will be removing any other switches on us?

There's alot of stuff that doesn't make it to the docs anytime soon after it happens. Like for the ctrlr files there is a bunch of stuff that didn't make it to the std.ini file for sometime.
