Hello,

Since version mame 0.162, I cannot generate the "AllGames" roms list anymore with Mamewah 1.69. It works fine with mame 0.161

Here is what Mamewah log says:

When it works:

Code: [Select]
2015-07-18 22:51:47 List generation started...
2015-07-18 22:51:47 Current drive/directory selected: D:\mame
2015-07-18 22:51:47 Commandline run: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c D:\mame\mame.exe -listxml > D:\mamewah\mame.xml {flags=81}
2015-07-18 22:52:37 Application quit: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c D:\mame\mame.exe -listxml > D:\mamewah\mame.xml
2015-07-18 22:52:58 List generation finished
2015-07-18 22:52:58 Games list read: mame-0.lst

When it doesn't work:

Code: [Select]
2015-07-18 22:59:35 List generation started...
2015-07-18 22:59:35 Current drive/directory selected: D:\mame
2015-07-18 22:59:35 Commandline run: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c D:\mame\mame.exe -listxml > D:\mamewah\mame.xml {flags=81}
2015-07-18 23:00:50 Application quit: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c D:\mame\mame.exe -listxml > D:\mamewah\mame.xml
2015-07-18 23:01:20 List generation aborted
2015-07-18 23:01:20 Games list read: mame-0.lst

Maybe there is something with the fact that MESS and MAME merged.

I also tried RomLister and when generating "All Roms", it doesn't allow to create a list.

It would be a neat option to generate the full list from Romlister.

Any idea?

Thank you.

Pitou!

XML format has been changed and MAMEWAH just like many other frontends needs update.

I also tried RomLister and when generating "All Roms", it doesn't allow to create a list.

It would be a neat option to generate the full list from Romlister.

1) click the "list all roms" button
2) highlight all of the roms in that list (click on the first game in the list and then scroll to the end of the list and click on the last game while holding the shift key)
3) right click on the list and select "add to your list"
4) now you have a list you can export to any format you want
