It's a  no brainer for you, but for me, I guess it would be a brainer...
There is no mame.xml list in the mame folder...
How does this get generated?

I've read the documentation, but either I've missed stuff, or I just don't understand...probably a combination of both...

  The last I read MAMEWAH generated the XML file automatically.  No need for mame.xml.

  It looks like you're using MAMEWAH Config?  If so, does list generation work in there?

  If you open a command prrompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd -> OK), and type


--- Code: ---c:\mame\mame.exe -listxml >c:\mame\mame.xml && more c:\mame\mame.xml
--- End code ---

  does it display XML gibberish on the screen (type q to get out of it if so) or does it give you an error message?

OK, well I ran this, and it created the MAME.XML file in my MAME directory...the DOS window got some stuff in it, and ended with MORE 0%
When I hit enter, it continued...
Is that a good sign?

screaming:
Are you still not able to generate a normal game list?

  It is!  It means the path to your mame executable is correct and you're running the correct version of MAME :)

  Now the other piece that we need to check is if your rom folder is correct. To do that:

1) Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd -> OK)
2) Type


--- Code: ---dir c:\mame\roms >c:\mame\tmp.txt && start c:\mame\tmp.txt
--- End code ---

3) copy-and-paste the first 15 lines or so from the notepad window to your reply :)

You should get a bunch of zip files. If so, answer my question about MAMEWAH Config :) If not, your rom path isn't correct in MAMEWAH's config file for MAME.
