im trying to make a listinfo.dat for sortinfo when i try and run mame thorught the command line using mame -listxml > list.xml i get 'mame" is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file any one help

Your syntax is improper. If your version of Mame is prior to .107, thy this:
mame.exe -listxml|xml2info > c:\mame\mame.dat
Good Luck,

Its version 107, copyed and pasted your mame.exe -listxml|xml2info > c:\mame\mame.dat but still get the the same result

I said PRIOR to .107. For .107 and above try this:
mame.exe -listxml > c:\mame\mame.xml
The output will be in XML format. The listinfo via xml2info no longer works in .107 and above. If you search the threads here there is a third party xml2info file you can drop in and then use the syntax from my previous post.

Ok thanks can get the list in an older version of mame and also the xml version in 107 but still unsure how to convert. Do i need to get the xml2info file inside the same directory and then enter
mame.exe -listxml|xml2info > c:\mame\mame.dat
and then it will convert the xml
I haven't follower the thread but I believe you just drop it in the mame folder, replacing the on that is distributed with .107 and then run the command:
mame.exe -listxml|xml2info > c:\mame\mame.dat

tried that and get the error
empty token

Sort info is a fairly dead piece of software, it won't work with the new data that mame spits out even if the xml2info did work for you. I would suggest looking for an alternative solution as many people have made their own list generators since then.
