Yes, as explained http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=24.0 (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=24.0) you need to add the path of catver.ini in the emulator configuration before generating the romlist.

Oh my bad, the status I believe is provided by mame when generating the rom list. Did you set the info source to listxml?
It did it for me on mame 01.78 when I did

Code: [Select]

attract --build-romlist mame --full
