Hey, no fair: no one even commented on 1.2 yet. :hissy: ;)

That app is cool to see the ROM changes. I skimmed the source to see it it could be easily be hacked to look for input changes, but I couldn't do it in the two minute I allowed. Would be cool if the input changes could be added (sirP might have something doing this for the db).
Anyways, er, how would I use MameDiff with controls.dat? (I've never used MameDiff before now. Am I being dense again?) There are more options that can be used with the merged/split/notmerged options changing what's output, but not sure if they're useful for controls.dat.

Thanks. Helpful info shown.
(Another feature request.) Could the listxml controls be displayed in the main game list? (It's already displayed in the Game Info.) Naming might be confusing if just left "controls" though. Something like "listxml inputs" or "mame inputs" might work.

I don't know how SirP uses MameDiff with ControlsDat but to quote him:
--- Quote from: SirPoonga on September 07, 2008, 11:53:12 pm ---When I update the website to a new version of mame I use the output from mamediff, catver, and listxml to do a bunch of things like handling deleted games and renamed games.

The way it works now, if there is no ControlsDat entry for the game then it will display the one from ListInfo.xml. So if you see a red X next to the game then you know it's displaying the control from ListInfo.xml.

Much better than notepad! :-) thanks for writing it!

I use mamediff's output to determine rom name changes, game name changes, and parent/clone relations. I make the changes needed to the database to reflect the changes.
