Share your favorite Mamewah / Mala game list for MAME

[smalltownguy]

Okay, I've done a bit of searching, and I'm just not finding what I need. I'm trying to find a copy of a 'Top 100'  or 'most popular' games list in '.lst' format for Mamewah. I've played with Rom programs like Rom Lister, and they're OK, but I just can't seem to find a way to pare down a seemingly endless list of roms to a manageable size. I will be placing my cabinet in my family's downstairs bar, and I'd like to set it up with a list of about 100 or so of the most popular arcade games for MAME. Would anyone be willing to share their own list to accomplish this? The thought of sorting through 1000's of roms to create a list is simply too overwhelming for me.

I realize it's a lot of work to create a good custom list, and I'll appreciate it very much if someone else out there would be willing to share their work.

I apologize if this information is already available in a Wiki somewhere and I missed it.

Thanks!

Have you got that list in ".lst" format so I can bring it into Mamewah?

[smalltownguy]

Bump. Any Mamewah users out there willing to share their favorite lists?

[rockmes]

here is mine. if you want to use it just rename the ext to .lst

[zorrobandito]

It's empty, are there still file repository problems on here?

[zorrobandito]

Here's mine. It's still a work in progress...and will be forever, I think :-)

[smalltownguy]

Hey guys, thanks for these 2 lists! I appreciate it. Anyone else have any Mamewah lists they'd like to share?

Anyone out there want to share their list? I'm working with Mala now, so I'm building a new list.

I suspect you're not getting a lot of feedback here because lists are rather custom based on the machine you're working with.

Do you have a 4way or 8way stick?  Are you on a cocktail machine?  How many buttons do you have?  What screen orientation/resolution are you working with?

I'd gladly send you my mala list, but I'm on a cocktail machine, 3 buttons and U360 sticks, so all of my games are vertical and support screen flipping on a standard res arcade monitor.

That's really what romlister is all about; get the stuff that is specific to your machine.  Then you'll have a list of games that you know you can play completely and then start paring it down from there.  I do that by hand, because I've found a lot of neat games that I never knew about-that's the fun part!
