List Creator v0.2 *UPDATED*

[Banacek]

Here's a little script I made that others might like. If you don't like the script, then you might like the custom .ini and .lst files that come with it  From the readme.txt:

List Creator v0.1
Here is a script that I created that takes the XML from Mame and the Catver.ini and creates a Custom list for each category that is in the Catver.ini. This is set up so that you should be able to run this anytime a new version of Mame comes out. If your Catver.ini is older than your copy of Mame, it will put those games not found in a separate custom list called "No Category". Also, all Mature Games are filtered out into the Mature Custom List before anything else is filtered. Here's how to run it:

1) Install PHP from http://www.php.net (PHP has a command line interface, so you don't need to have anything else running);
2) Add c:\php to your path (path=%path%;c:\php;);
3) Run "mame -listxml > list.xml";
4) Put both list.xml and Catver.ini in the same directory as listcreator.php
5) Run "php listcreator.php";
6) Copy the files over your Mamewah install.

Enjoy!

Any problems, please email me at keeftm@hotmail.com with "List Creator" in the title, or else I might miss it. Thanks!

If you have any questions, let me know.

(oh, and delete the .txt extension from the download)

3) Run "mame -listxml | list.xml";

Should that be "mame -listxml > list.xml" ?

And your RAR file seems corrupt to me.  Could be at my end tho.

New version! This version correctly gives you the controls for the game that are located in Mame (I think). It also outputs a file called no_controls.txt that lists the rom names and game names with no controls documented in Mame. Sorry this wasn't included before. Also tested it with the XML output from Mame v0.108 just to make sure Enjoy!
