It's probably because half of your entries are incomplete.  

Even if you don't use the filters option it has to be in the path entry... just leave it blank.  Also in half of the entries you've made it's "filters:" and the other half it's "filter:"

It should be filters:

Next time check your syntax.  It's always a syntax error.

Hi Howard, Guys.

I added filters: to all of them still not showing up. The thin is it showed before? not sure why its not working.. anyone assist please?
What is wrong with the syntax? Its wierd some work others do not. ???I wrote which ones do not work and dont know why? Any help is appreciated!

[Howard_Casto]

I don't mind helping, but only if you give me readable data.  Those not working comments are all over the place, one is even in the middle of your path entry.  

Please just Post a list of the non working ones exactly as they are.  

[Demon-Seed]

Hi Howard,
Np sorry about that. these ones are not working. they worked in previous DK. Also how do u get a mp3 random list to work? seems to be only MAME.

[Mike]

Most are labeled userclones instead of useclones. The first has the searchstring label wrong.

[Demon-Seed]

Hey,
Ok the thing I do not get is these were transfered from the first DK where they worked. Could you provide me with a few samples to exactly what i need?

thx
JIM

[Mike]

this should fix the ones you posted. just compare them.

As I said, always syntax error, check your spelling.  

I really appreciate you helping mike.  I'll be busy for the next few days so I don't know how often I can get online.

see everyone: Howard isn't always arrogant, rude, and egotistical...  

[Demon-Seed]

Hey
I appreciate the help but it did not work. I double checked and I have the latest 73 catver file in the catver folder in DK. The games and catergories are all listed there fine. I do not understand it should work, I have the cat file, the dirs/roms exist and i fixed the syntax.?

JIM

[Demon-Seed]

ok i got it!! thanks for the help.

Um the MP3 list.. what do i need to play random mp3's i list??

[Howard_Casto]

They are always random.  It can only be set in random mode.  But remember, computer random isn't as random as people random.  Depending upon your system, some files are more likely to play first than others.
