Yet another dumb question - How would I do that?
I ran "Mame" -listxml >xmlfile and got a 26M xml file and opened that in Opera (browser) but it just looked like a list of all the games strung together. . . :P ???

I find it easier to just use notepad than IE or firefox if I just want to look at the info as a whole, as the xml is more a database than a formated paper that browsers treat them. I don't have Opera, so can't tell you anything about that, but IE is dog slow. I actually use textpad at home, but notepad at work, err... works too. ;D
If I want something clearer or repeatable, xslt is a great flexible way to parse the data and build seperate lists. I just downloaded Krick's xml2info xslt and edit it as needed. (For example, his xml2list_xslt does a better job than xml2list.exe at translating mame's listxml to the old listinfo format.) He has posted other xslt examples over at mame.net forum, too. I don't really know the transfomation language, but it's so easy I've been able to piece together stuff by just looking at his examples. ;)

Here's an XSL transform that outputs HTML so you can use your browser to do the transform.
Just put this file (after removing the .txt extension) in the same folder with your mame XML file. Then edit your XML file and add this as the second line...
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="savestates.xsl"?>
...then save and open the XML file in your browser.

For the lazy among us (i.e. me), there's a 'Save State' category in Mame32 that lists 673 games with working savestate function. You can grab M32 108 here.
