Title: History.dat shows multiple games?
Post by: fleskebacon on October 08, 2014, 05:40:27 am

I've recently set up my MaLa with the history.dat file, and it works nice enough. But for some games (Pacman, Mr. Do among others) the history tab shows info for many games, specially for Pacman, it shows info for all the Pac-related games. It also shows info for games apparently not related to pacman at all.

I've got the latest history.dat (1.54c) and MaLa 1.74. Tried MaLa 1.82 as well, same results.

Anything I can do to remedy this?

Edit: It seems like it displays all the entries containing the phrase "pacman" or "mrdo" in its $info-tag in history.dat...

Hm. Mala also ignores paragraphs and line breaks in the history.dat file so that everything's clumped together. Could edit the history.dat so that things behave more properly, but that would be a monumental task.

This just isn't working!

Nobody else having these issues?

Has something changed in the layout of the history.dat file since Mala was last updated?
