I've had Mamewah running for months with these lists working but today I had to have Mamewah re-generate the main game list and for some reason now the most played and longest played lists are completely broken.

At first they only showed one game - the last game I played. I deleted the two list files so that Mamewah could generate them again, and it then managed to show the last 2 games I'd played. But that's it - no matter how long or how many times I play any game, they never show up in these lists anymore. I've made sure the list files are writeable, and I've lost count of the amount of times I've rebooted and restarted Mamewah.

The list_type is set to 'most_played' and the other is set to 'longest_played', just how they were when I originally created them months ago.

Any ideas? They're just not being populated automatically  :banghead:

Update: It doesn't seem to have affected any other emulators - only the mame lists.

Finally found what the problem was! The list Mamewah generated had a couple of incorrectly formatted games

I used Romlister to recreate a full list from scratch and now it's working again  ;D
