General / Re: Floob's retropie image: build-romlist generates file where title=filename

Can you elaborate? The only mame.cfg I see on my system is in /usr/local/share/attract/emulators, and neither file is referenced in the Readme for AM. I was under the impression that the Generate Rom List command would dynamically create the list by issuing a "mame --listxml".

General / Floob's retropie image: build-romlist generates file where title=filename

« on: August 31, 2016, 02:36:27 PM »

I've used the latest version of the image, on a Pi2. The only thing I've added or changed is to expand the filesystem and copy a small subset of the 0.143 romset to ~/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/. I have verified that the files (all zips) are all named properly. When I build the romlist, either via the gui or the command line, the list that is generated looks like this:

Code: [Select]

airbustr;airbustr;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
airduel;airduel;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
airwolf;airwolf;MAME (Libretro);;1987;Kyugo of America, Inc;Shooter;1;;;;;;;;;
ajax;ajax;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
alexkidd;alexkidd;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
aliens;aliens;MAME (Libretro);;1990;Konami;Action;2;;;;;;;;;
aliensyn;aliensyn;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
alleymas;alleymas;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
alpine;alpine;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
altbeast;altbeast;MAME (Libretro);;;;;;;;;;;;;;
So the titles are all identical to the rom/file name, and only a handful of them have years/manufacturer/category. Any idea what's going on?

If I understand correctly, by default the build-romlist job should be matching the names of the roms against the mame executable's own output of the compatible roms' metadata, but with the runcommand.sh abstraction and such, I'm having a little trouble tracing the path of how that all works.
