Running 1.62b9.
Last night I ran MCM to clean out some of the mature games, puzzles, mahjong, etc. It ran fine and did everything expected of it.
Regenerated my list and Mamewah was displaying only the rom names. (ini was set to rom folder). No problem, changed to rom_folder_vs_listxml, generated a listxml.xml file, regenerated a game list in Mamewah and all seemed well.
Tried to run a game and Mamewah crashed. Rebooted, tried another game, crashed.
I'm not absolutely sure that changing the list generation method caused the crash (can't see how it would) but at 1:30 am I didn't want to go to bed with the machine not functioning - I knew I would just stew over it for hours while I tried to sleep. I'm just that kind of freak.
I Switched the generation method back to rom_folder, created .nms file, regenerated mame list and everything runs fine - well, almost everything.
My skin is set to display the control type as well as the manufacturer & date.
Neither of these is being displayed using the rom_folder & nms method.
What am I missing. I'm sure I fogot a step.
Any guidance is appreciated.
