Foley's Unfotunately Back...

ChadTower:

What about it "doesn't work with" current versions of MAME?  Isn't it just an interface layer making cmdline calls to the mame executables?

Cakemeister:
It has to do with the XML files that MAME puts out with its -listxml option. The XML changes every few versions, and it broke Ultrastyle's parser back in the late 0.9xs.

Ah.  That's not too hard a fix, you're right.  I assume they wouldn't make major changes to the xml structure.  Most of the time things like that are just additions that have to be accounted for on the parser end of the plugin.  Depending on how good the Blitzmax language is at text extraction/reporting that could be a little as an hour's work.  If it does it more like C it will take longer but probably still a one night job.

It's a dead project.  I think the last version of MAME it worked with was .95 or so.

Are we gonna blame David for THAT, too?

Its dead Jim. Live long and prosper.....or something.

Cakemeister:
Sure, you can do that. For someone like myself with experience with the XML files but not with the Blitz code, that would be easier. Since the Ultrastyle code breaks up the list generation process into several steps, you could substitute your hacked XML for the 0.126 xml and just skip to the second step.
