Hi Minwah,
Did a bit more testing and here are some observations:
1) regarding the use of xml2info, sorry that's my fault, I misread your notes and left 'listxml' configured; once I changed this in the 'mame.ini' all information was presented correctly for each game.
2) in further testing (when using xml2info) Mame 079 produced clean results, MAME 101 produced the 'duplicate' reporting results I experienced in my first test. I've included a screenshot for reference. I thought perhaps this might have been an interface design issue, but the information is present in the 'mame-0.lst' file; here is a sample:
*** Sample of mame-0.lst file ***
1941
1941 - Counter Attack (World)
1990
Capcom
Raster
Vertical
8-Way Joystick
Status Good (Good)
Color Good (Good)
Sound Good
*** End ***
3) I also tested the issue regarding menu options and the 'Indexing Services'. I tried using MAMEWAH with the option on/off for the MAMEWAH directory and all options were present in both cases.
Cheers,
Breaker.

So by 'duplicate' info do you mean the 'Good (Good)' etc parts? If so, this is supposed to happen. I forget the exact Mame version, but previously there was only driver 'status', 'color' and 'sound' info. At some point, 'emulation' and 'graphics' status' were also added...this is how it appears:
--- Quote ---Status Good (Good) = status (emulation)
Color Good (Good) = color (graphics)
Sound Good = sound

Let me know if I misunderstood, and thanks for your testing :)

Hi Minwah,
Yes, you understood correctly. I wasn't aware of this change in MAME so I assumed it was an extract issue with xml2info; thanks for the correction. I did some more testing last night, configuring Daphne with MAMEWAH 162b12 and had no problems at all; nice to be able to do it all with 'ini' files! I also dabbled in the layout editor, modifying the default layout for my Daphne screen and all was well. Will continue to test and report any issues.
Cheers,
Breaker.
