Importing favorites from MAME

[hueffmea]

I have all my favorites saved in MAME. In the UI folder there is a Favorites.ini.
I go to Max Arcade Preferences, Then to Game Lists, Mame tab and go down to by Import (favorites.ini). I enter the path and click build list. Then I get the error message. "No games matched the criteria. A rescan of MAME roms may be necessary.
I have performed several rescans. Is there a way to import the Favorites.ini to the game list?

The import .ini feature is there to import Maximus Arcade's old MAME*.ini format, not MAME's favorites.ini format (which isn't a windows standard .ini file anyway.)

You'd have to find out what the old ini format looked like, and convert your favorites.ini file to that format.

Got it! Ok, Thanks for the help.
