As such it is useless for generating movies. The gory details are buried somewhere in the MAME Movie Maker thread. Silver is hosting the new ssf.txt file. --- End quote --- --- End quote --- |

Screaming could you walk me thru on how to create a batch file that will copy only the roms from my rom folder that are vertical games with joy4way and joy8way control and are fully working? Thanks |

Sure! The secret to coming up with the query is to break it down and make it as simple as possible, then take one piece at a time. Using ListGen.NET, you would: 1) Set your output format to -- Default -- 2) Click the ellipses next to Fields 3) In the new window a) Type 'copy <source folder>\', like 'copy c:\mame\roms\' (don't forget the backslash at the end!), then click Add. b) Select romname from the dropdown list, then click Add. c) Type '.zip <destination folder>', like '.zip c:\mame\oldroms\' (don't forget the period (.) in the beginning!), then click Add. 4) Click Save. 5) Leave the Separator blank, and Headers unchecked. So far we set up the output. With everything set as it is so far, if you were to click Run you'd end up with a batch file that would copy EVERYTHING. Your batchfile would have lines like: copy c:\mame\roms\puckman.zip c:\mame\oldroms\. Now we need to specify the criteria. Assuming that you already imported your MAME ROMs through File->Import game data from->-listxml and specified a valid catver.ini, this should work to help narrow down what your looking for: Since your query is a little complicated (in SQL terms), you'll need to do some grouping. ListGen.NET's interface can't do this yet, but you could certainly still use ListGen.NET: 1) Click the Expert button 2) In the Criteria box, copy-and-paste this: --- Code: ---orientation='vertical' AND NOT catver_category LIKE '%Unplayable%' AND (control = 'joy8way' OR control = 'joy4way') --- End code --- 3) Since there's a bug in ListGen.NET, you have to click the Expert button again. Now click Run! I did this and got 1333 games back. I hope this helps! -sab |
