Title: Mamewah Setup Cutom List Generator
Post by: scamp on July 20, 2004, 11:51:40 pm
I was wondering if there was a utility for building Mamewah Custom Lists...

I was thinking it would be neat if the tool read in the main list generated by Mamewah setup and then provided a gui for selecting certain roms and finally saving a list config and editing the emu config for the list..

Is there anything to do that?  Mamewah Setup's handling of custom lists doesn't seem to this, and Mamewah only allows you to add to a list after you've started the game...

If there isn't I'm thinking of writing a util to do this..>Does anyone know how Mamewah setup builds the master list from the rom dir??  Is it possible to generate the same list in xml for easier parsing??

ps. I'm new to Mamewah setup, so if I've missed something on how to do it like I've described, please let me know...

thx!!

What makes you think that?  Hit 'z' and pick the list you want to add to ;)

Well that's per game...i think...are you saying i can do that from the list view when Mamewah is running?? Meaning scroll through list and highlight a game and press "z"???

Yes, exactly :)

If you want more general stuff then you can use the 'Generate Custom List using Filters' menu (in Games List Options) to create a list automatically.  Just make sure you select a custom list first...
