Is there a listing or a program some where that tells what game each ROM is? Something besides the funky names some of the ROMs have. Encryptor |

Mame can do that: mame.exe -listfull > games.txt |

Thank you very much for the info. Ok. If you don't mind here's another. I'm using Mamewah for a frontend. Is there any way to make them list with their proper names either through the frontend or have mame pass the right names to the frontend? I hope that's not too confusing. Encryptor |

I haven't really had much experiance with it yet but I know it has to do with the list_generation_method. You need it to compare your rom files with the known list of available games. It works for me when I use the default list_generation_method for mame of rom_folder_vs_listxml. Here is a copy of my mame.ini: ### mame.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### emulator_title MAME ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path C:\Emulation\Mame32\roms rom_extension zip dat_file auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].dat nms_file auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].nms catver_ini_file auto:[emuexepath]\catver.ini list_generation_method rom_folder_vs_listxml ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline C:\Emulation\Mame32\mame32.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]" post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines ### Artwork Settings ### artwork_image_paths auto:[emuexepath]\snap;[emuexepath]\titles;[emuexepath]\marquee; [emuexepath]\control;[emuexepath]\cabinet;[emuexepath]\flyers;[emuexepath]\boxart; [emuexepath]\cart;[emuexepath]\art9;[emuexepath]\art10 movie_preview_path auto:[emuexepath]\previews movie_artwork_no 1 enable_fuzzy_search 0 history_dat_file auto history_dat_artwork_no 2 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 1 select_random_game 0 saver_type gamelist_slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 1 quit_delay 0 saver_commandline ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path description_display [description]{scroll} ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 0 Don't know if it'll help, but hopefully.

I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. I know I couldn't even get a list until I took the listxml part of this statement "rom_folder_vs_listxml" out. I also don't know where you got the auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].dat statement. Below is my ini file and it doesn't have those statements. I had to put the paths in my ini file. ### mame.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### emulator_title M.A.M.E. ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path c:\mame\roms rom_extension zip dat_file mameinfo.dat nms_file catver_ini_file c:\mame\catver.ini list_generation_method rom_folder ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline c:\mame\mame.exe [name] -mouse {nodosbox} post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines ### Artwork Settings ### artwork_image_paths c:\mame\snap movie_preview_path c:\mame\previews movie_artwork_no 1 enable_fuzzy_search 0 history_dat_file history_dat_artwork_no 2 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 1 select_random_game 0 saver_type gamelist_slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 1 quit_delay 0 saver_commandline ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path description_display [description]{scroll} ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 1 Encryptor |
