GameLists: Multiple emuls in same list work-around solution

I cheated. I used romlister to make a mala game list and so now have the games appearing on the games list

Now I'm wrestling with the mame.cmd file

SGT:
Here is my mame.cmd:

--- Code: ---if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\radikalb" goto rAdikalb
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\M2" goto m2
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\daphne" goto daphne
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\zinc" goto zinc
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\pcgames" goto pcgames
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\mjolnir" goto mjolnir
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\vivanonno" goto vivanonno
if "%2" == "E:\emulators\other_emus\nestopia" goto nestopia

mame.exe %1
exit

:radikalb
cd ..\radikal
closemul.exe radikalb.exe
exit

:m2
cd ..\m2emulator
closemul.exe emulator.exe zip %1 rar
exit

:pcgames
cd ..\pc_games\roms
%1.lnk
exit


:daphne
cd \emulators\daphne
if "%1" == "badlands2" goto badlands
IF "%1" == "ace2" goto ace
start/wait daphne.exe %1 vldp -framefile E:\emulators\Daphne\framefile\%1.txt -fullscreen -blank_skips -blank_searches -preset 1
exit
:badlands
start/wait daphne.exe badlands vldp -framefile E:\emulators\Daphne\framefile\badlands.txt -fullscreen -blank_skips -blank_searches -preset 1
exit
:ace
start/wait daphne.exe ace vldp -framefile E:\emulators\Daphne\framefile\ace.txt -fullscreen -blank_skips -blank_searches -preset 1
exit


:zinc
cd ..\zinc
cmd-launch7.exe %1
exit


:mjolnir
cd ..\mjolnir
mjolnir.exe %1
exit


:vivanonno
cd ..\vivanonno
if "%1" == "ridger2a" AutoVivanonno rrs1
if "%1" == "raveracw" AutoVivanonno rv2
exit


:nestopia
cd ..\nestopia
nestopia.exe %2\%1.zip
exit

:set_resolution
cd ..\utilities\qres
qres.exe /x 1440 /y 900
exit
--- End code ---


As you can see, I have shortcuts to the pc games themselves.  Shortcuts have the extension LNK.  The shortcuts have the same name as the dummy rom.  The difference is the dummy rom has the extension ZIP and of course the shortcut has the extension LNK.  I used to use CMD files which uses the same concept.  You need one folder with name.zip files and another folder with name.cmd files.  LNK files are just easier for some in that you don't have to create a CMD file for each PC Game, but just let windows create the shortcut for you.  Notice that my dummy files folder is pcgames and is located here:

--- Code: ---E:\emulators\other_emus\pcgames
--- End code ---

My lnk folder is pc_games:

--- Code: ---E:\emulators\pc_games\roms
--- End code ---

Probably a little more confusing than it should have been.  Hope this helps.

SGT:
Also regarding why they're not showing up in the game list.  I notice the xml entries has:

--- Code: ---   <driver status"good" emulation"good"/>
--- End code ---


There are equal signs missing, and if you have the option to only have working roms, Mala may be filtering these back out because it doesn't recognize that the driver status="good".  Example:


--- Code: ---<game name="tigerwoods">
<description>Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07</description>
<year></year>
<manufacturer></manufacturer>
<driver status="good"/>
</game>

--- End code ---

Now I haven't analyzed later versions of Mame.  So if mame devs have changed the format of mame.xml, disregard my drivel.

Thanks SGT- that XML was the problem. I also got the cmd file going now based on your input.  :cheers:
