Managing MAME roms question
« on: March 24, 2014, 08:21:02 pm »
I was hoping someone could help me with this.  Is there some way to load the mame rom database that mame generates and search it?  In this case, I'd like to create a game list.  Like, if I wanted to see every 2-player game made by Sega between 1981 and 1993 with 3 buttons.  Is there a way to do that?

Check out Mawler.   It will let you search on just about any criteria you can think of.  Be sure and change Simple to Deluxe in the dropdown at the top to see all the things you can search on.
