Problem with romlists
« on: December 10, 2016, 10:18:54 AM »
Hi

I have a problem with all my romlists
The first line of the romlist TXT files it's not recognized for Attract Mode
I'm using the NesicaXLive theme
Something is happening at that first line
For example, if I change the order and make the second line be the first one, the that game does not get recognized

Example:

I have

LINE 1: Street fighter iv (with the rest of the parameters in order)
LINE 2: King of fighters XII (with the rest of the parameters in order)

Street Figher does no show any artwork in the frontend

And if I change the order:

LINE 1: King of fighters XII (with the rest of the parameters in order)
LINE 2: Street fighter iv (with the rest of the parameters in order)

KOF xii it's not recognized

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance

Something is probably being left out in your lines, post the complete lines so we can see the problem.
Did you manually create your romlist files, or did you auto-generate them?

I'm making copy/paste to make some more foused lists

For example, as NesicaXlive games are in fact Type X2 games, I'm making a new list

The strange thing is that this only happens in the first line...

Thanks in advance

The first line is the header and shouldn't contain a game name. It should look like this.
Code: [Select]
#Name;Title;Emulator;CloneOf;Year;Manufacturer;Category;Players;Rotation;Control;Status;DisplayCount;DisplayType;AltRomname;AltTitle;Extra;Buttons

I put that line as the first line on the romlist, and now the first games shows in the frontend (because now is the second line)
But it has created an entry in the frontend, like it was a new game, but empty and of course, no artwork is shown
Maybe I can use some filter to make the frontend not show that header line as a game?
Thanks in advance
