Title: -listxml ...and Mame32
Post by: JamieDeb on August 25, 2004, 07:07:23 pm

I try (without success ;-) to do a -listxml with Mame32 ?
Is it possible with that version...or only mame (not 32) version?
i'm using this syntax..is it correct (it doesn't work for me!):
c:\mame\mame.exe -listxml >c:\mame\list.xml

Thanks very much for your help !!

yes, sorry:

c:\mame\mame32.exe -listxml >c:\mame\list.xml

Is it the correct syntax ?

Looks right to me, try a space between > and c ?  I'm not sure if mame32 can do those commandline switches?

I've tried with "regular mame (not mame).
If you put a space it dooesn't work at all.
With that syntax (and "regular" mame", I can see a DOS windows appearing and the listing of all games running...but no files written to the disk.

Could you please help ? Thnaks

It worked for me but assuming you dont have mame installed it should be:

c:\mame32\mame32.exe -listxml > c:\mame32\list.xml

Did you do it from a Command Prompt or from Start > Run?  Make sure you do the former...

C:\MAME32> mame32 -listxml > mame.xml

You're right...it now works if I use a command prompt instead of the "Start > Run" system.
Thanks very much!!
