[RESOLVED] MAME, Does GameEX prefer unmerged Sets?


RIP-Felix

Recommended Posts

I have a full 0.149 Rom set but GameEX refuses to see all the games I have. I made sure it's not filtering them out and added some of the roms in question to the do not filter list. No success.

I'm now wondering if my set is merged? I'll take for example 1941. The Rom is named "1941.7z". When opened in MAMEUI64 v0.149 the parent folder 1941 is seen and there are 3 sub versions (US, world and Japan). When selected the US version plays perfectly fine from the MAME GUI. However Gameex refuses to even list 1941. My question is does mean that I need to un merge my sets for GameEX to properly list my games? Or maybe it is pulling the wrong list info and I need to pull the database from the MAMEUI64 directly?

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I set 0.149 as an emulator and it sees absolutely every file and loads them the same as MAME would. Of course this is not ideal because it take GameEX much longer to load. So this is proof that the default MAME setup is doing something.

sure. Here it is (as it is now). I've made some changes, most notably I reduced the size of the rom folder to hold just the Games I most often play and GameEX builds that list fine. But with the same settings it will not see everything in the full set. Maybe it's just too big.

Well, unfortunatly my cabinet is having this problem again and the "existing roms" field does not rectify the situation. Basicly the list does not show games I know are there, and that are showing on another computer (HTPC) with the same mame config and a copy of the same rom list..

EDIT:

what Im currently trying: I will cross them off if they don't work.

EDIT:

Ok, none of the above worked. :wacko: Now what? I've updated the Log and config to reflect the above attempts. I'm officially out of ideas, except a complete uninstall and fresh install. I really don't want to go back through all that setup again.

EDIT:

Ok I solved it! Along with the above I did the following to solve the problem:

  • Show Vert/Horiz = Show all Games
  • Do not filter these ROMs = pacman;splatter;1941;1943

If you have a game that doesn't show up after all this add it to the "do not filter these roms" field. Beyond that I bid you good luck.
