Title: Filters Issues -RPi
Post by: HellFish on December 02, 2016, 05:35:05 AM

Hello,

I have an issue with filters only my Retro Pi (floob Image). I want to be able to filter on status / year / manufacture etc

I Put the issue down to missing info in the rom list. They look like this :-

#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons
1941;1941;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
1941j;1941j;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
1942;1942;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;

The Generate rom list (info source scraper) is set to use listxml...but not sure where should be and if its even being used...

Ok, to answer my own question,

The listxml file can be created via mame (I had to do it on a windows PC)

mame.exe -listxml > listxml.xml

I then copied to the /home/pi/.attract/mame-config/listxml.xml

I change the Source/scarper option to blank (not listxml)

and put the path /home/pi/.attract/mame-config/listxml.xml
in the Additional Import File(s) along with the catver.ini file
