After Rom List Generation - Duplicates / Clones Showed Up
« on: October 19, 2017, 03:42:05 PM »
I usually can research my way through any issue but this one is challenging me. Pi 3, Reys image, all updates complete. Everything was working great until I did this. I did a 'Generate Rom List" from the AM menu under the MAME emulator. It went through ok but when it was done I had duplicates, clones, etc. in my wheel for MAME. I tried applying filters and of course the CloneOf filter and it makes no difference. I even checked the contents on the attract.cfg file. The filters are showing up in there after I create them in AM so I know the setting is getting into the file. I have tried using multiple filters, setting the filter globally, followed other posts on filtering, etc. Makes no difference with the duplicates. Anyone know what happened and why the 'generating the rom list' in AM did this? Am i missing something simple ? Thanks. I do appreciate everyones time here. I would not post here unless I was at the end of my wits.

I have a few thoughts -

First, have a look at the wiki entry -  https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Example-filters

then - http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=24.0

http://www.progettosnaps.net/catver/

I'd start by ensuring that catver.ini is available

cd /
sudo find / -name catver.ini
