I'm pretty sure the quotes are needed, as the other poster mentioned AM uses regex for these filters and the dot means any character, the parenthesis might also through the regex off.
Maybe you would you have more luck with this:

Code: [Select]

filter               All
rule                 Title not_equals "Super Mario Bros. \(Japan, USA\)"or

Code: [Select]

filter               All
rule                 Title not_equals "Super Mario Bros\. \(Japan, USA\)"Sorry I can't test this ATM.

These both worked! Just had to remove the quotes. For some reason, with the quotes, it doesn't work. I used the first one to filter this and a few other titles (they also contained parenthesis) and it worked perfectly.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I tried that but it didnt work. I've also tried

Code: [Select]

filter               All
rule                 Title not_contains "Super Mario Bros. (Japan, USA)"
With and with out quotes, but that didnt work either.

What I did find is, if I shorten the game rom name to "Test" (and update the rom list), it filters that out fine. So maybe it has something to with the length of the rom name or the special characters that are preventing it from being filtered out?

edit:

Looks to be the parentheses causing the problem. Simply removing them fixes the issue.

General / Question about filtering

« on: March 06, 2017, 05:47:02 AM »

I am having some trouble setting up filters for my NES games. For example, I am trying to filter out "Super Mario Bros. (Japan, USA)"

I used

Code: [Select]

filter               All
rule                 Title not_equals Super Mario Bros. (Japan, USA)
Should't this filter out that game? or am I doing something wrong?

I am on windows.

Thanks

General / Issues with fullscreen

« on: January 31, 2017, 01:47:46 AM »

Hey all!

I've only been using attract mode for a couple weeks or so, but I have used other front ends in the past, like Hyperspin.

So far I've only set up a few systems on my laptop (mostly for testing purposes) before I want to eventually migrate everything to my main PC. So far I have Intellivision (MESS), NES with RA (using the nestopia EMU), DOSbox with a few dos games, and Mame.

Up until now it's been working great, without any issues.

The problem is, up until now I've been using the default screen size (fill screen). And again, everything runs and loads perfectly, no issues at all. I am using the nevato layout, which looks amazing btw.

When I enable Fullscreen however, I run into some issues. Mainly, when loading a game (from any of the emulators) the EMU hangs and wont load. I have to hard close the emu from task manager. running windows 10.

Also, with full screen enabled when I attempt to change the screen size back to default (or any setting) from within the game, AM instantly crashes (have to set it back from the config file).

I also downloaded and tried the 32-bit installer. but it still hangs when loading a game. although, it did fix the problem with AM crashing when changing settings with full screen enabled.

One other note, I was able to reproduce the issue using a clean install of AM in a separate directory, only using the default layout, settings, etc.

I have tried the usually fixes (running AM as admin, windows 7 compatibility mode, etc.), but had no luck with those)

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has encounters this. thanks.
