Title: RPI - Only romname when building romlist, what am I doing wrong?
Post by: slowsl on October 26, 2018, 10:26:25 PM

Sorry guys, this probably is an easy one, but I've spent two days trying to figure this out and no luck.  I have it working perfectly fine with AM on windows, but not on the retropie.
When creating my romlist, there is no other data included in the list, just the romname. 
catver.ini, controls.ini, and nplayers.ini are in /home/pi/.attract/mame-config
I've also created my own listxml.xml file and tried several ways to use it, but not sure of the appropriate way to go about doing that.  Can someone help please?

Put your files (catver.ini, controls.ini, nplayers.ini and listxml.xml) in /home/pi/.attract/mame-config

add this line to your mame.cfg emulator file

Code: [Select]

import_extras        ./mame-config/listxml.xml;./mame-config/catver.ini;./mame-config/controls.ini,./mame-config/nplayers.ini

Regenerate romlist.

Thanks! it was  apparently a syntax error on my part.  I swear I had it typed correctly at one point, guess I overlooked something.
