MAME Movie Maker released

<< < (13/153) > >>

sWampy:
I've changed the paths for roms and mame in listgen.ini, and tried audit_roms 0 and 1.   I get the output below from listgen. 


Calling MAME to get version
MAME version is 0.890000
Calling MAME to build XML game info
Scanning XML game info
parse error, unexpected LT
Processing catver.ini
Processing nplayers.ini
Processing gameplay.ini
Writing intermediate file listgen.tmp
Reading intermediate file into filter database
Filtering database into result.tmp
Writing game list to makemovies.bat


Here is my listgen.ini

rompath c:\mame\roms
mamepath c:\mame
frontend moviebatch
verbose 0
silent 0
audit_roms 0
use_clones 1
unique 1
us_version_priority 0
world_version_priority 0
strip_description 1
japan_version_priority -1
reuse_listxml_data 1
output makemovies.bat


I've tried every combination of c:\mame\roms, c:\mame\roms\, .\roms, .\roms\  I could think of with no luck. ;-/

That's interesting.

What is the size of listxml.txt? I get 22,421,287 bytes.

What happens when you do a mame -listxml and compare the existing output to that?

Try doing a mame -listxml > listxml.txt, then running listgen again. This will create the listxml.txt separately, and you should get the 22 megabyte file. Make sure reuse_listxml_data is set to 1 in your listgen.ini.

I thought MAME always output 8-bit ASCII characters. Do you live in a place that doesn't have standard characters?

The "unexpected LT" is a parser error. The XML parser is getting a less than (LT) where it shouldn't.

Weird.


Silver:
I know mame can ouput UTF-8 (or was it -16?) as I spent ages a few months back scratching my head why mame would produce 22meg xml on one pc but 28meg xml on another and it turned out to be the encoding. I'm trying to remember what the cause was.... I know one PC was Win2K the other XP, but don't think that was the difference....

Sorry not to be more helpful!

Wierd, I remember something now that you mention it about xp, and this is actually mce2005 default encoding as unicode from an xml class I took last year, I'll have to look through my notes to see how to change that, but that must be what's going on.  Or maybe there is a convertor.   Loading it in notepad and saving it as ascii didn't help. ;-/   Oh, well I have to run off to work, I'll play more tonight.
