Filter for Mame platform

[keilmillerjr]

I'm building a dedicated neo geo mvs cabinet. The following example will filter based on manufacturer. However, not all titles by snk are for mvs. Any way to set up filter correctly? Filter based on mvs bios?

Code: [Select]

filter               "Neo Geo MVS"
      rule                 Manufacturer equals SNK

Actually because the list for MVS and AES is so close it would not take you long to just take all the neogeo games and the delete the AES version ones. I did that took me about 15 minutes. I have my MAME system set for MVS (mame) and then a Neo-Geo list that has just AES (mess). I think there are only about maybe 5 that are were made for AES and not the MVS.  Try here for a list http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/masterlist.htm And here is a script to pull out all the neogeo games from your mame roms http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=132.0 (at the bottom of the thread.)  I'm jealous I want a dedicated neogeo cab

Looking at my mame romlist it seems that the "AltRomName" field is set to "neogeo" for NeoGeo games.... would filtering for that help?

Sorry to answer this so late Ray (but so others know too). Yes I found that you can use the AltRomName for filtering neogeo..in fact i think that is the best way.
