... first of all, after you deleted the .db1 file, did AF recerate it, and did you see one for playstation and one for playstation-hw?

AF recreates the db1 file for Playstation only.
Code: [Select]
*** Initializing display: 'Playstation#CONSOLE'
 - Loaded master romlist 'Playstation' in 37 ms (13 entries kept, 0 discarded)
 - Constructed 2 filters in 0 ms (26 comparisons)

AN ERROR HAS OCCURED [the index 'Playstation-hw' does not exist]

CALLSTACK
*FUNCTION [z_listboot()] C:\Games\Attract-Mode\layouts/Arcadeflow/layout.nut line [6037]
*FUNCTION [on_transition()] C:\Games\Attract-Mode\layouts/Arcadeflow/layout.nut line [13669]

In Playstation.db1 file for Parasite Eve

Code: [Select]
"Parasite Eve (USA)" : {
      z_manufacturer = "Squaresoft"
      z_title = "Parasite Eve (USA)"
      z_filename = ""
      z_resolution = ""
      z_control = ""
      z_players = "1"
      z_year = "1998"
      z_inmfz = null
      z_fileisavailable = true
      z_emulator = "Playstation"
      z_commands = []
     ...

... first of all, after you deleted the .db1 file, did AF recerate it, and did you see one for playstation and one for playstation-hw?

AF recreates the db1 file for Playstation only.

Ok, I was able to replicate the issue, and it is related to the way AF creates its database, maybe I'll find a fix in the future, but right now I have a workaround: let's say you want to use a romlist for playstation games, and you have two emulators you want to use, let's call them PSX-EMU1 and PSX-EMU2, ok? You need your setup like this:

Emulator folder:
Here you must have the two emulator config files, let's call them PSX-EMU1.cfg and PSX-EMU2.cfg, pointing to the same rom folder.

Romlist folder:
Here you need THREE romlists:
- PSX-EMU1.txt with all the games, all with PSX-EMU1 set as emulator
- PSX-EMU2.txt with the same games, but all set to PSX-EMU2 as emulator
- PSX.txt this is the "merged" romlist where you set the emulators to your liking, some with PSX-EMU1, some with PSX-EMU2

At this point if your Display points to PSX.txt as romlist, everything should work fine, scraping included.

Basically, for AF to work correctly, there should always be a romlist with the same name as the emilator, where all the games have the same emulator. So if you want to  create a "mixed" romlist you'll need first to create romlists with each single emulator pointing to the same roms. Then you can create the mixed romlist which must have a name that's different from the emulator name.

Let me know if this fixes your issue, whie I try to implement a real solution for mixed emulator romlists that have the same name as an emulator ;)

Arcadeflow 13.3 is out!

This version will be the last to update through my own website, I've moved 13.2 and all new releases to a GitHub repository so, from now on, updating will work through that. Hopefully everything goes smoothly... The old "history" website will stay online and I'll keep that updated, because it's just nice looking with all the archives and images.

- Added new GitHub based update routine
- Reorganized code and folder structure
- Code cleanup
