Maximus Arcade and Romlister problems (or my stupidity)

(1/3) > >>

korbitz:
Trying out MA in my new cab and attempting to use romlister to strip unwanted roms from my list in MA. I have used romlister with MameWAH without any issues, but when i try to save the list to my desktop in MA format, nothing appears, it wont even let me view the list before saving. I am not even getting an error file. Has anyone else had any issues? or is it just me.....

Hogie1418:
I had the same problem and never figured it out... would be interested as well.

Did you post this question in the MA forum? If not you might get more results there.

either you're the same person emailing me personally, or this is coming up a lot lately.

Here's the deal:

1) RL won't let you preview the list because the list itself is a binary/compressed file and viewing it would be a little ugly.

2) since maximus lists are compressed, and thus are actually created with that "convert.exe" file that is included in the distribution.  what romlister does is generate a temporary text file, then shells out to DOS and runs the convert.exe program to make your final list.  this is where the problem comes in:

3) convert.exe has issues.  It seems that it cannot generate a list in a different folder than where convert.exe physically resides on your hard drive. 


possible fixes:
1) make sure convert.exe is in the same folder as romlister.
2) save your final .lst file in the same folder as romlister and convert.exe, then move it to where you need.

that's apparently not working for the person emailing me, but it is working for me on my test setup.
we're digging into it, but would love additional feedback and error reporting since I can't reproduce the issue personally. 
once we figure it out, I'm going to release another romlister which will help solve this for future users.  since i didn't write convert.exe, i can't fix the actual problem, but I can band-aid around it fairly well I think.

standby...

Nope, not me thats been emailing you, only started using romlister on MA yesterday, came across the error, made a post here and moved onto another emulator (slowly working my way through them)

FYI though, the instructions you gave worked for me, so many thanks  :notworthy: :applaud:
