I can't get my catver.ini file to work with mamewah. If my catver file is for mame version .99 will it work with .105?
-
Yes but obviously newly added games will not have any category info. Point to catver.ini in your (mamewah) mame.ini file, and ensure you generate the list *after* this.
-
I pointed the (mamewah) mame.ini to the catver.ini file. Then I "re-generated" the main list. I did research this but couldn't find anything to help me. My catver.ini is in my mame folder.

Sounds like you did everything right....maybe post your (mamewah) mame.ini file...

rom_path G:\Emus\zinc\roms
Could it be that this should be pointing to your MAME roms folder??

No. I know it's weird but I was having problems with zinc and it didn't like having it's rom folder outside of it's directory. Mame accesses those roms fine. I found a different version of catver.ini and I'm going to try it when I have a chance. Thanks for looking at my mame.ini Minwah

No problem, it looks fine apart from the unusual rom path.

I had this problem too. In (version 1.61) the 'files' subdirectory, for some reason all of the files that ended in .ftr were empty. I deleted the one that ended in -0.ftr (filtered list) and did a generate list, then I got my catver information again. If I remember correctly all of the .ftr files were blank, so I may have deleted them all.
-
Well I now have the option to sort by category but now mamewah lists the rom names and not the game names :(. I changed the list generation method to rom_folder and then changed it back to rom_folder_vs_listxml but mamewah still just lists the rom name and not the "game name". I have re-generated the main list but nothing has helped.
-
I'd suggest you delete everything in the 'files' folder and try again. Make sure you have xml2info.exe in your mame folder.

I ended up downloading a .dat file for mame 105 and then changing the list generation method to rom_folder_vs_dat_file. That seems to have solved it. I think my original problem was my version of catver.ini. The one that worked for me was from www.catver.com.
