How Do You Create A Listxml In Mame?
« on: March 03, 2006, 03:16:07 am »
Ok, i know this must be straight forward!

I am running the latest version of mame and open the command prompt and type the following to create the listxml.

d:\mame\mamepp.exe -listxml

Now it goes through all the roms, but does not produce an output - am I missing something from the end of the command line?

Have tried searching but cannot seem to find the answer ???

The reason I want to create the list is to try jcrouse cpviewer.

Thanks

mamepp.exe -listxml >listxml.txt

you need to tell it where to put the listxml info

Thanks for the heads up.

Ok I have now encounted another problem ::)

Following the instructions in the cpviewer docs - I open up the command prompt and get to the mame directory and then type the following:

D:\mame> mame -listxml|xml2info > "d:\cpvw\CPViewer\MameGames.cfg"

It then says that mame is not an operable programme, I realise why it is saying that, but what excatly do i need to type in order to create the cfg file?

Thanks

Well that was obvious >:(

Ok am now as far as I have got a cpviewer template completed and saved ready for use. I have also got the history dat file as well as histview.

I have copied and altered what is on jcrouses site:

Quote
general_app_commandlines                  d:\cpvw\cpvw.exe -r=[name] -c=[cloneof];d:\cpvw\controlsviewer.exe mamewah;d:\histview\histview.exe -r=[name]

For some reason this is not working - I check the mamewah error log, but it seems the software is not being loaded once I have selected a game?

Any pointers?

Cheers

Lea
