General / Filters Not Showing Up
« on: March 09, 2015, 04:50:47 AM »
On Linux Mint 17.1, 64-bit, AttractMode 1.5.1:
I've not been successful with my filters showing up (MAME in this case, the only one I've tested so far). Whenever I press the next or previous filters assigned keys the games list is empty. Bringing up the Filters Menu only displays "All" and "Favourites".
I suspect I'm the issue here with a typo or something. ;-)
The categories are showing up correctly when I use the "machines" display (which looks really, really good btw).
My mame.cfg has this line:
import_extras $HOME/Desktop/AttractMode/EmulatorsData/mame/catver/catver.ini;$HOME/Desktop/AttractMode/EmulatorsData/mame/catver/filters.ini
My filters.ini looks like this:
filter "Justin Test Filter"
rule Title not_contains bootleg|prototype|Sports|Trivia|Quiz|Mahjong
rule Year not_contains ?
rule Manufacturer not_contains bootleg
rule Category not_contains Mature|Quiz|Sports|Mahjong|Casino
rule Players equals 1|2
rule Control contains joystick
rule Control contains 2-way|4-way|8-way
rule Status equals good|imperfect
rule DisplayCount equals 1
filter "Justin Favourite Games"
rule Favourite equals 1
After adding all of these changes and then running the "Generate Collection/Rom list" option in the Emulators MAME section I'm still not seeing my filter appear.
Do I also need to add brackets around the 'filter "Name Of Filter Here"' section?
Any ideas or suggestions on what to check? Thanks in advance.
