There is no mame.xml list in the mame folder... How does this get generated? I've read the documentation, but either I've missed stuff, or I just don't understand...probably a combination of both... |

No need for mame.xml. It looks like you're using MAMEWAH Config? If so, does list generation work in there? If you open a command prrompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd -> OK), and type --- Code: ---c:\mame\mame.exe -listxml >c:\mame\mame.xml && more c:\mame\mame.xml --- End code --- does it display XML gibberish on the screen (type q to get out of it if so) or does it give you an error message? |

Is that a good sign? |

Are you still not able to generate a normal game list? --- Quote from: Sinner on February 22, 2006, 07:09:20 pm ---Is that a good sign? --- End quote --- It is! It means the path to your mame executable is correct and you're running the correct version of MAME :) Now the other piece that we need to check is if your rom folder is correct. To do that: 1) Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd -> OK) 2) Type --- Code: ---dir c:\mame\roms >c:\mame\tmp.txt && start c:\mame\tmp.txt --- End code --- 3) copy-and-paste the first 15 lines or so from the notepad window to your reply :) You should get a bunch of zip files. If so, answer my question about MAMEWAH Config :) If not, your rom path isn't correct in MAMEWAH's config file for MAME. |
