i dont know what could be wrong ? is it because im using mame 32 instead of command line mame.
Thanks for the help and patience but i think im a lost cause..........

As long as the DAT file was created successfully with "Mame" (not with "Mame32") and the
file has valid data descriptions inside of it for all Rom games, then I am not sure what
else to try.
I would recommend starting a new thread here or in the MameWah forum asking
the experts how to do this. It should not be hard (I just do not remember exactly),
since most people do not use the rom name game listing for Mame.
arcade-mad:
Thanks again uncle T for the help and advise on mamewah.
ive used the search facility on this forum and have noticed that a lot of people have the same problem as me with the naming of games on there lists.
maybe in a future version of mamewah this will be sorted out.
i have managed to get games running and im in the middle of making my fav's list again as long as there is a screen shot of the game the rom name in the game listing isnt realy a big problem for me.
But its just a little niggle thats done my head in.
Maybe ill try an older version of mame32 im currently using .95
and try different list generation commands as ive read it all changed after version .85 of mame ?? Or maybe try the command line mame if i can get my head round that.
ill persivere with it though and see how i go
thanks again.
unclet:
Yes, I guess the important question would be ...... what version of Mame32 are you using?
You need to use the same version of "Mame" (which coincides with your version of Mame32)
to generate the DAT file ..... although if you are using an older version of Mame32 then
perhaps the DAT file content stuff changed.
arcade-mad:
hhhmmmmmmm the version of mame32 is .98 that im using i just downloaded the current version of mame and created a dat file as i couldnt find version .98 of mame.
will this be the reason why creating a dat file didnt work.
