I can't get ListGen to work with MAME build 126. This tool looks very useful in generating custom lists beyond what our front ends support. Is there an update or a similar tool for generating custom game lists?
Thanks,
Dan

I have a somewhat crippled version which will run with MAME version v0.127 or newer. It's packaged in the config utility (http://cpmaker.mameprojects.com/files/hconfig_setup.exe) I wrote for Hyperspin.
MAMEdev keep changing the MAME xml file and it keeps breaking ListGen. I've come up with a scheme to make it not do that, but I don't have it in my full version. It's on my list of things to do.

Nice tool, if I may be so bold as to make a sugestion; one list I like is "recent games" which I usually select based on whats added in the last few releases of Mame, in Cakemeisters listgen this was a possibility (veradded 0.10*) with older mame versions. The other list I like is "4 player games". I would love to see version added support and number of player support in romlist ::)

That could certainly be done. I would need another data file to know that information though. MAME's -listxml output doesn't tell you what version a particular game was added to the list. If there's a file like that (I assume something like catver.ini) that you could point me to, I'd be happy to add that support.

You can dig those up now. Just edit the -find text window, and add:
& numplayers=4
to the end of the of the text.
This information comes from controls.dat though, which is approximately 50% behind in the number of games mame supports, so you won't find all of them.

Catver.ini (the second half of the file).

heh. I really should have known that.
I'll get working on adding that feature for the next release.
