2- The tricky part, the search function (or keyboard search function plugin) should be modified to check the entries in "CloneOf" - so when you push the custom key to search it would search the "CloneOf" of current game and list any matched entries.
I didn't know it exist a search function plugin. It's not I want exactly, but it's a nice solution and I will try it. Thanks so much!

General / Sub-wheels
« on: July 22, 2019, 08:42:50 PM »
Hi all, I would like to know if there is any way to have a sub-wheel. I would like to have a structure like this using a .dat file from dat-o-matic for example:
#Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
- Bare Knucle II (Japan/Europe) (Parent ROM)
  - Streets of Rage II (USA) (Clone ROM)
  - Bare Knuckle II (Unknown) (Beta) (Clone ROM)

For example, if I select Bare Knuckle II I go to another wheel where there are the three games, Parent and Clones.

Code: [Select]
<game name="Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe)">
  <description>Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe)</description>
  <release name="Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe)" region="EUR"/>
  <release name="Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe)" region="JPN"/>
  <rom name="Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe).md" size="2097152" crc="42e3efdc" md5="c53faea21ca58de2282a8f1a210527ba" sha1="a0d3a216278aef5564dcbed83df0dd59222812c8" status="verified"/>
</game>
<game name="Bare Knuckle II (Unknown) (Beta)" cloneof="Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe)">
  <description>Bare Knuckle II (Unknown) (Beta)</description>
  <rom name="Bare Knuckle II (Unknown) (Beta).md" size="1245184" crc="0cf2acbe" md5="bbe27f5a43be4bb2a11d119b3c1c70e1" sha1="ee3bee676944bc5a3cab163c209825f678dc8204"/>
</game>
<game name="Streets of Rage 2 (USA)" cloneof="Bare Knuckle II - Shitou e no Requiem ~ Streets of Rage II (Japan, Europe)">
  <description>Streets of Rage 2 (USA)</description>
  <release name="Streets of Rage 2 (USA)" region="USA"/>
  <rom name="Streets of Rage 2 (USA).md" size="2097152" crc="e01fa526" md5="cb75d5a6919b61efe917bea5762c1cb7" sha1="8b656eec9692d88bbbb84787142aa732b44ce0be" status="verified"/>
</game>

Thanks in advance, and sorry if my English is bad  ;D

I had the same problem. I fixed it using Handbrake reconverting to .mp4 with the same fps of each video. But yes, this problem is so anoying...

Since you are on a PC you can use Steven Selph's scraper. The videos WILL work on a PC however you will have to compile it but it will work.

Thanks for your answer but I hate scraper xD. Matching video and game is not perfect and some games will get wrong videos. It's only perfect in MAME because each rom has an unique ID name.

And the batch file could be useful but has a problem, when mame is updated I would have to modify it.

To improve it you can take a list of all your games in the folder and iterate it with a FOR statement calling the instruction to encode video, checking before if video and game name matchs, I think is a better solution and generic.

files is improperly encoded. Use HandBrake to re-encode again

I don't think this is the case.  I encode my own snaps with avidemux.  They are properly encoded with no errors.  But certain high settings bitrate and/or 60 fps encodes even though they are very small (640x480) and cpu unintensive, seem to be problem with playback on AM.  Even a flip phone from a decade ago can play these low res non-HD files perfectly fine.  I've been clamoring for HW support for a long time now and couldn't be happier with the inclusion of it on this latest version.  But alas, it didn't fix anything.   Also keep in mind popular movie sets like Emumovies are tried and true by a large community and they work flawlessly for nearly all big front ends.  It's not the video files that is causing the problems it is definitely AM.

I re-encoded some videos that didn't work well in AM and now are displayed perfectly. Anyway, I think the first problem is the video decoder in AM.

Thanks for your answer. So I should download another video pack because re-encode all videos is a huge task.

I have to re-encode it finally. In spite it's a huge task it's better than searching another pack.

Hi all, I have a problem, some HQ videos freeze when I display them. I tried changing video decoder but both options (software and dxva2) don't work properly. I have read about other video decoder like CUVID but it doesn't appear. I have a modern PC and my GPU is a NVidia GTX 760 and AM version is 2.3. Thanks in advance.
