Best way to sort and list games of different criteria?
« on: November 30, 2016, 12:59:57 pm »
Hello,

the system I set up (GroovyMAME + MALA) is working but still, I am thinking of how
to get rid oflong game lists and how to sort the games.
Tried ROMlister but I get sgtrange results - I guess theres one or more currupt DAT file(s).

Any other advise on sorting software (and making lists for MALA)?
Or could some one provide me the correct XMLs used for ROMLister?

Thanks
Oliver

Tested lightspeed, works nicely and I could export in the mala format directly.  :cheers:
