Filter problem

[Matt-One]

Hello,
I would like to filter in the puzzle section all the Puzzle Games but not the Puzzle/Mature games, how can i do it?

Thank you.

@Matt-One
probably you use 'contain' instead 'equal' in filter?
what is your filter config?
post an example of your romlist (shown a game with category Puzzle and one with category Puzzle/Mature).

Thank you for your reply..
My filter config is like the one on AttractMode Wiki, so :

Code: [Select]

And these are some games in my romlist file, as you can see the category games are separated by a / (i made my romlist on arcadeitalia because i made a single selection of my favorite games) :

@Matt-One
add a filter to your emulator system:
start AM > press TAB key > Displays > choose your emulator system, that you want to filter > Add Filter

choose a name (e.g. Puzzles) > Rule > Target : Category > Comparison : contains > Filter Value : Puzzle > Back

at this moment, you get all Puzzles. The trick is to add a second rule to your created filter:
Add rule > Target : Category > Comparision : does not contain > Filter Value : Mature
