MAMEWAH 1.61 and MAME .97 Filtered List

[giza]

Just in case some of you haven't figured out how to get the filtered list feature working in MAMEWAH v1.61, you need to get the lastest catver.ini file http://www.mameworld.net/catlist/.  Once I downloaded the new file an used MAMEWAH Config 1.61.1 to generate my list using ROM Folder and -listxml (post .84 versions of MAME), the filtered list options showed in MAMEWAH.

Something else that I have notice is that there are two list for each platform in MAMEWAH, one is filterable and the other is not filterable.  In order for your filter options to show, you need to select the list that is filterable.

Actually you don't need catver to use filtered lists, you just need to generate the list (using listxml, listinfo or a suitable dat file).  Catver is only required if you wish to filter on game category.

Correct, but you can have as many filtered lists as you want (just add new emulator-?.ini files).  One list (the first one) is always non-filterable.

Thanks Minwah for clearing up some things for me.  Now I feel better about being able to config MAMEWAH a little better.
