You need to generate the Main list before you can generate a filtered list...ensure you have the correct list selected*

*a clue is in the menu option...'Generate List' for the main list, or 'Generate Filtered List' for custom lists.

one mistake l did was l had the mame.dat file in my mame folder instead of the mamewah folder , thats why nothing was happening. But l have noticed that with using the dat file under generate filtered list ,only the caterogry filters come up nothing else . is that suppose to happen??

It doesn't matter where your dat file is, as you point to it in your (mamewah) mame.ini file

I don't know what you mean....the DAT file can only be used to generate the main list.

what l mean is- l can generate the main games list , but when l want to generate a filtered list (eg horizontal games ), its only got the option of generating the list with the category filters only , no other type of filters are available on screen when using the dat file. When l use the normal kirks xml2info.exe ,everything works apart form generating the inputs filtered list. thats what l am really after.
