Mala not showing all my games...
Lutus:
Excellent, got it. I will now shout Mala's name from the rooftops. Sing its praise to the end of the earth. Ok, maybe not. But it is awesome!!
Thanks swindus and loadman!!!! :notworthy:
Lutus:
By the way, is there any reason not to check all three of the "collect options tab". Are any games not displayed that should be by also checking the "only masters" option?

Some clones kick ass

Found this thread and had a question. I just installed Mala last night and when I generate a game list it only has 422 games. I found an older mame.xml file and replaced the one that was currently in my mame directory and now I have 712 games. I checked this morning and there are no checks in the check options tab. Not sure about the filter part but I will check that when I get home. I know all my Roms are in one folder and none of them are merged.
I will also post what version of Mame and Mala I am running. But I am pretty sure they are both the latest version since I just downloaded them last night. Will it make a difference that I have ROM Set .98? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Anyone please jump in if I'm wrong, but I think that makes a huge difference, yes...
XML files, executables, and ROM sets are dependent on each other when it comes to generating the list of present, working, correctly dumped ROMs. The latest version of MAME might include a certain game, and your old ROM set might include a ROM for that game, but if the game has been redumped since that ROM set was created, then the ROM is useless, unplayable, and just taking up space.
Basically, you want all these things to match.
I'd update your ROM set so it's the latest version. If that's not practical, then it'd be much better to backrev your copy of MAME so it's the same version as your ROMs. DON'T swap in random XML files, you can generate them from the MAME executable itself using command line switches (can't remember what the switch is, but I'm pretty sure it's in the docs). You should definitely be getting more than 700 games in your list, depending on filtering options, of course...
Hope this helps!
