Trouble generating MAME romlist
« on: June 21, 2022, 12:31:18 AM »
I actually used AttractMode extensively like four years ago.  Had things all set up nicely.  Times change, though.  Now I'm trying to generate a new, updated MAME romlist.  Without having to basically hand-insert entries into my existing list.

The problem I'm having is this.  Here's an entry from my old list:

asteroid;Asteroids (rev 4);Arcade (MAME);;1979;Atari;Shooter / Field;1;0;only_buttons;good;1;vector;;;;

And here's what it looks like in my new list.

asteroid;asteroid;Arcade (MAME);;;;Shooter / Field;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

In other words, literally the only things that are being accurately provided in the newly-generated list are the romname, the emulator, and the genre.  Not even the title of the games are being provided.  This is an issue.

I'm hoping somebody knows what I need to do in order to cause all of those other entries to fill out properly.

In your mame emulator.cfg (configuration) make sure you have this.

Code: [Select]
