I've taken the latest beta shared by gigapig and updated it to handle MAME 0.162+ XML files without having to edit them.

I'm trying to use this with 0.176 and I'm getting 0s for all the button #s. Really hoping to be able to filter based on # of buttons... any fix?

Can confirm... I wonder what changed from ~0.172 timeframe? I went from 0.172 to 0.174, and now 0.175 and see the same.

Not 100% sure how to work this tool. I would like to know how i can rename the missing games so that i can get everything to play.

Looks like this was broken at the same time, but not fixed in this updated version. I compared a "listxml" from MAME 0.158 vs. 0.180 and noticed the location of buttons changed:

MAME v0.158

<machine name="umk3" sourcefile="midwunit.cpp">
	<description>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (rev 1.2)</description>
	<input players="2" buttons="6" coins="4" service="yes" tilt="yes">
		<control type="joy" ways="8"/>
	</input>

MAME v0.180

<machine name="umk3" sourcefile="midwunit.cpp">
	<description>Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (rev 1.2)</description>
	<input players="2" coins="4" service="yes" tilt="yes">
		<control type="joy" player="1" buttons="6" ways="8"/>
		<control type="joy" player="2" buttons="6" ways="8"/>
	</input>

Hopefully someone can update the tools so that it reads in the number of buttons correctly. I'm working around this for now by using an older MAME version of the XML.

EDIT:  Please Ignore. It works just fine now for some reason.

This tools rocks but it wants to rename my bin files as track1, track2, etc.

So if I have GameName.bin and GameName.cue it wants to change it CorrectGameName.cue and track1.bin. Is there anyway to not do that? I just want CorrectGameName.cue and CorrectGameName.bin with the cue of course pointing to CorrectGameName.bin.

Thanks...Piper
