Title: How to create a filter that will filter out all mature roms for all displays
Post by: ps2daddy on October 23, 2018, 08:47:15 AM: I need some help an insight on where and how to create a filter to accomplish this.

I have a hyperpie 2 image based on attract mode and I thought there was some way to go to a "master" display and set the filter but I am very confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post by: progets on October 27, 2018, 08:55:22 AM: 1. Your global_filter has two different "Category not_contains" rules which is likely your problem. To test you should only use one rule to be certain what works and doesn't work on its own.

2. If your romlists don't contain the correct data then your rules won't work.

Post by: ps2daddy on October 28, 2018, 08:05:04 PM: Looked at arcade romlist and all matue games are labled "*Mature*"

2 examples
galpanica;Gals Panic (MCU Protected);Arcade;galpanic;1990;Kaneko;Puzzle / Outline * Mature *;;;;;0;;;;;
apparel;Apparel Night (Japan 860929);Arcade;;1986;Central Denshi;Tabletop / Mahjong * Mature *;;;;;0;;;;;

I took the "*" of each mature title and that did not make a difference.

I assumed the the filters for mature contained under favorites allowed you to select mature games for you favorites in arcades if you choose them but would not show up in the regular arcade list.

I even removed the Mature rule under each favorites category and left the "not_contains mature" under each global_filter and that didnt make a difference either

:(

Post by: progets on October 28, 2018, 10:24:09 PM: Rules are case sensitive. Your example of "not_contains mature" should be "not_contains Mature" based on the romlist entries you provided.
Title: Re: How to create a filter that will filter out all mature roms for all displays
Post by: ps2daddy on October 29, 2018, 04:49:19 PM: I tried this in the appropriate global sections

display   Arcade
   layout HP2-Arcade-Menu
   romlist Arcade
   in_cycle no
   in_menu no
   global_filter
      rule FileIsAvailable equals 1
      rule CloneOf not_equals .*
      rule Status not_equals preliminary
      rule Category not_contains Electromechanical|Tabletop|Casino|Quiz|Mahjong|Computer|Microcomputer|Test|Portable|Console|Handheld|Device|Training Board|Synthesiser|Clock|Document Processors
      rule Category not_equals Misc.|Quiz / Korean|Electromechanical / Reels|Casino / Cards|Casino / Reels
      rule Title not_contains bootleg|prototype
      rule Manufacturer not_contains bootleg
      rule Year not_contains ?
      rule Category not_contains Mature (I added this line)

Also tried leaving the Mature filter in the "Favorites" section settings and removing it and neither way worked In conjuction with the Global filter addition

Favorites filter
filter Mature
rule Category contains Mature

(See last post for more details)

Your global_filter has two different "Category not_contains" rules which is likely your problem.

Append the first "Category not_contains" rule with |Mature and get rid of the second "Category not_contains" rule.

Went back and to the "*"'s out for Mature in the rom list and that didn't help either

I have tested this and it works for me. Like I mentioned above, get rid of all your other rules so you can test with just one rule until you get it right. Troubleshooting with all those rules makes zero sense. Once you have it working you can then implement your other rules and see where the problem comes in.

Post your attract.cfg and your mame.cfg if you want further feed back.
