I cant get new roms to show up in MALA - show in mamewah but...

<< < (2/3) > >>

BamBam:
Not to insult you, but I didn't see any mention if you right clicked on the desktop in Mala to bring up the menu and select "refresh gamelist".
Have you tried that?
Hope this helps.

When I use MAME 109 and create a game list with MaLa RC7a and not have the "working games/with roms/etc" options checked my resulting game list holds 6253 games.

So I don't think this is a XML file problem.

What about your rom files? Is it a merged rom set? How many zips are in your rom folder?

Duster72:
Yes, I have refreshed the games list  :D

No, it's not a merged rom set.  I will update this post with the exact number of ZIP files momentarily.

Duster72:
Number of ZIPs in folder: 6272

Games mala is picking up: 1985


FWIW, I can fire up the last version of PowerMame and play all of the games missing from the Mala list that I have tested so far.

swindus:
FYI: MaLa collects all games from the xml file, other frontends collect the games from the rom folder. If you check the option 'Only games with roms' MaLa will check if the romname.zip file exist in the rom folder specified in MaLa. If not the game will not be added to the game list. So if you do not have any option (working games/with roms/etc) checked there is no reference to any zip file when collecting the games from the xml file and MaLa should find all games from the xml file -> 6253 games.

Another question: What is the file size of your mame.xml file? My file size is 26.156KB. Maybe your xml file is corrupted in any way. Try to recreate the xml file if so.
