Title: Generating list for FE
Post by: Demon-Seed on June 14, 2010, 09:16:35 pm

Hello
I am currently running latest mamewah with older mames (.37b16, .62)
I want to make a list in mamewah with all my working games that i have.  I used romlister for .98 etc which works great however you must have a xml file to use it.

I have download corresponding dat, and it lists all the games rom_folder_vs_dat_file, however I get annoyed... as for example there is like 6 versions of streetfighter zero 2 and of the 6. 3 are bad.l.. I want to scan the roms and only working ones show?


Older mames do not use xml.  Is there a tool out there to create lists but show the names not the zip names? of the games that I have?  I amnot sure how ...pls help

thnks
Jim

Download the dat file for your version of mame from here (http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/MAMEBeta/MAMEBetaHistory.php). (make sure it's the (cm) version)
Put it inside your mame folder. Then modify the a couple of lines in the .ini file for mame. The one inside Mamewah\config

Code: [Select]

dat_file                                  C:\juegos2\mame36\Mame36.dat

Code: [Select]

list_generation_method                    rom_folder_vs_dat_file
Then open mamewah and generate a list.
