silverslc Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 hey guys I have a custom Hyperspin setup that starts simply into arcade classics which is my mame.xml. Within that single wheel I have Daphne and Mame games listed. My question is can you have a games display in multiple genres.. For instance .. I have a Genre listed as "Neo Geo Games" and a separate genre list called "Fighting Games", say I want King of Fighters to be listed in Both "Fighting Games" and "Neo Geo Games" Genres.. The xml shows one game listed in the Mame.xml file.. Is it simply a matter of the proper switches to allow that game to be listed in other genre wheels? Say... <description>King of Fighters</description> <genre>Fighting Games; Neo Geo Games</genre> ?? Thanks! Nick
Yeuxkes Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I think you have it mixed up a little bit, the genre in the main MAME.xml defines the genre of that game. You would then create a separate xml file named after the genre tag in the mame xml file. Whatever you want to show in your genre wheels will be shown. For your example you will need to edit/create the xml "Fighting games.xml" & "Neo Geo Games.xml" to both include the game King of Fighters and it will show up whenever you go into genres in Hyperspin. You will have to make a genres list first but that's a piece of cake with Don's Hypertools, check out the tutorial section if you aren't sure on how to do that. I hope this will clear things up for you.
