Romlister .30
« on: March 06, 2015, 12:16:22 pm »
So i updated my romlister to .30 and now when i try to merge a file using controls.xml and Catver.ini the output file from a rom list for example only showing working games not bios and not clones. the output XML show no data added for category and veradded. I noticed this as my old file it seems i picked up the wrong language file. so got the english one. but the old file was from the .29 version. I checked the catver.ini and it is the same as the one i used on .29
My Gf made me put a sig up. /whipped

huh.
I'm merging a wolfmame151.xml, a (probably stale) controls.xml, catver and nplayer from version 150 while I write this.  I just opened the output file in notepad++ and I see tags for nplayers, veradded, category, etc in the data.

here's the first entry:
Code: [Select]
<mame build="0.151[W] (Nov  6 2013)" debug="no" mameconfig="10">
<game name="005" sourcefile="segag80r.c" sampleof="005">
<description>005</description>
<year>1981</year>
<manufacturer>Sega</manufacturer>
<category>Maze / Shooter Small</category>
<nplayers>2P alt</nplayers>
<verAdded>.030</verAdded>


It may be best if you zip up your input files, including your mame.xml file and send them to me (email address is on the romlister website) or post them here or wherever you can so I can get them and try and duplicate what you're seeing.

I just did a fresh merge and this is the resulting output in XMl

<mame build="0.151 (Feb 25 2015)" debug="no" mameconfig="10">

   <game name="005" sourcefile="segag80r.c" sampleof="005">
      <description>005</description>
      <year>1981</year>
      <manufacturer>Sega</manufacturer>
      <category>no_catver</category>
      <nplayers>2P alt</nplayers>
      <verAdded>no_veradded</verAdded>
      <controls_info>numPlayers="2" alternating="1" mirrored="1" usesService="0" tilt="0" cocktail="1"</controls_info>
      <player number="1" numButtons="1">
         <controls>
            <control name="4-way Joystick">
               <constant name="joy4way"/>
            </control>

Note this is with a mame64.exe that i compiled with the no nag patch. I tried it with an unmodded mame64.exe 151 version and i get the same thing. Also sent that email with my romlister folder.

and I believe I've fixed the problem, a prototype RL is available here:
http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/RomLister.zip

for completeness, at some point the catver.ini folks changed formats:

005=Maze / Shooter Small
10yard=Sports / Football Amer.

the new one looks like this:
005 = Maze / Shooter Small
10yard = Sports / Amer. Football

All it took was that stupid space around the = being added, and that kept RL from being able to discover the rom name. 
So far I've gotten good feedback from the fixed version linked above.  If you like it too, I'll make an official 31 release with it.
