Hi guys,
I've just found this frontend and have been playing around with getting my MAME games list set up nicely.
I have got quite an extensive set of filter rules, however I would like to add a couple of exceptions.
If i understand correctly, a game that matches an exception will over ride any rules I have?
As part of the rules I have configured, I am limiting games to 1 or 2 players. But, I also want to manually add some exceptions for games that can be configured via dipswitches to be 2 player (instead of 3 or 4). An example of this is Snow Bros 2, this game is technically a 4 player game, but you can configure it in MAME via dipswitches to actually act as a 2 player game.
So, I should be able to add an exception for a game that matches the name "snowbro2" (the rom name in the mamelist.txt used by AM), and have it show up in between Snow Bros. and Snow Brothers 3 in my game list, right?
Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case. If someone could point out what i've done wrong or correct my assumptions, I would be eternally grateful!
I have included my global filter configuration below, hopefully someone can point out what I am doing wrong!
