Title: List creation tool.
Post by: b4nd1t0 on June 20, 2016, 06:00:36 AM

Hello everyone, I just wanted to inform you of the possibility to create custom lists using the export of a search directly from the site http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/
After I made a request to motoschifo (the creator and administrator of the website) to implement the export in txt format for AttractMode and packed with all the information also not present in mame. Check them out.

AM already supports creating lists?!
For example mame:
#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra
ga2;Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (World);mame;;1992;Sega;;4;0;joystick (8-way);imperfect;1;raster;;;
ssriders;Sunset Riders (4 Players ver EAC);mame;;1991;Konami;;4;0;joystick (8-way);imperfect;1;raster;;;

yes, with the mame xml, but if you want to create a list only with the vertical games, or from or a particular year or grouped for a particular criterion, you must do it manually

This is not accurate. From the command line you can use filters to build the list you want.

as told as from progets : filter is the key
