Clones only in ADVMENU.RC...Help!
« on: November 19, 2002, 11:44:53 pm »
Ok, I've been searching high and low, but I just can't figure this one out.  Anyone running ADVMenu can tell me if I can only show specific games?  I want to show polepos1 (Atari) which is a clone of polepos (parent).  Right now it seems like only the parent roms will display, and I have to hit F10 to see a list of clones.  This won't work for my cab setup, I just want two specific clones to show (and that's it).  I've put the necessary files in the clone zips so the parents should not be necessary, but I can't figure out how to tell Advmenu to only see the clones or specific roms.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Find this line in your advmenu.rc file and change the parameter to "include".

select_clone include

Then find the following line and make sure the parameter is "name"

sort name

The second is because clones some times don't show up under the logical "parent", and sorting by "name" instead will ensure that they show up where they should, alphabetically.

Hope that helps.

Thanks that did help.  For my.RC file, this was the line that I needed to change tho:

emulator_attrib "dmame" clone include  (from exclude)

Thanks for helping out!!

I am having the same problem.  I was wondering what version advmenu you are using.  I have read about this EMULATOR_ATTRIB command, but I have not been able to find any configuration documentaion on it.  

I also though they changed this command around version 2.2.4 according to the advmenu history. (Renamed the "Attrib" menu to "Selection". )  unless EMULATOR_ATTRIB and ATTRIB are different.  

I ran the advmenu -default and cannot find either line in the advmenu.rc.

THanks
