danwelsh Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 Is there any easy way to filter the oriental games from my Mame.xml? or does it have to be done manually?

32assassin Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 their is usually a filtered version of the XML that removes all Oriental games. mame_no_casino_mahjong_mature.xml mame_no_casino_mahjong.xml mame.xml if by Oriental you mean Mahjong, Asian language Quiz games and not the Asian version of the game released in other Countries. but you can do it yourself. 1. Download this http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/5602-dons-hyperspin-tools/ 2. in the download file you will find a program called Split HyperList.exe 3. Open the program HyperSpinXML ---> Your MAME XML Output FOlder --> Create a temp folder Split files based on -->Genre - ---> click on Generate XML files 4. Go to your temp folder, you will find that the MAME XML has been spit into Genres folder lsit Action.xml Ball & Paddle.xml Beat-'Em-Up.xml Board Games.xml Breakout.xml Casino.xml Climbing.xml Compilation.xml Driving.xml Electromechanical - Reels.xml Fighter.xml Flying.xml genre.xml Gun.xml Mahjong.xml Maze.xml Mini-Games.xml Miscellaneous.xml Motorcycle.xml Pinball.xml Platform.xml Puzzle.xml Quiz - Chinese.xml Quiz - French.xml Quiz - German.xml Quiz - Italian.xml Quiz - Japanese - Mature -.xml Quiz - Japanese.xml Quiz - Korean.xml Quiz - Music Japanese.xml Quiz - Spanish.xml Quiz.xml Rhythm.xml Shoot-'Em-Up.xml Shooter.xml Sports - Soccer.xml Sports-Baseball.xml Sports-Basketball.xml Sports-Biking.xml Sports-Bowling.xml Sports-Boxing.xml Sports-Compilation.xml Sports-Fishing.xml Sports-Football.xml Sports-Golf.xml Sports-Handball.xml Sports-Hockey.xml Sports-Horse Racing.xml Sports-Pool and Dart.xml Sports-Rugby.xml Sports-Skateboarding.xml Sports-Skiing.xml Sports-Snowboarding.xml Sports-Soccer.xml Sports-Tennis.xml Sports-Track & Field.xml Sports-Volleyball.xml Sports-Wrestling.xml Sports.xml Tabletop.xml Utilities - Test.xml Utilities - Update.xml 5. Delete ALL the XMLs that will cause you problems genre.xml 6. Before you delete an XML, I suggest you open it in Notepad++ and go through it, it might contain games you may want to keep!!!!!! I once deleted Mini-Games.XML but this XML has Tron (A game I like to have) 7..Delete all the XMLs that contain games you do not want. such as Casino.xml Mahjong.xml Quiz - Chinese.xml Quiz - French.xml Quiz - German.xml Quiz - Italian.xml Quiz - Japanese - Mature -.xml Quiz - Japanese.xml Quiz - Korean.xml Quiz - Music Japanese.xml Quiz - Spanish.xml what you delete is all up to you. I personally don't like the Dancing Games on my Arcade. since playing those type of games with a joystick sucks!!! Rhythm.xml --> Dancing Games Utilities - Test.xml --> Test Utillites you may not want Utilities - Update --> Test Utillites you may not want 8. Once you deleted all the XMLs you do not want Go back to your Dons tools folder and open Merge HyperLists.exe 9.Drag and drop all the Genere XMs you saved into the List section of the progam. -IN THE OPTIONS MAKE SURE add<exe> tag to XML IS CHECKED OFF!!!!! this is a Hyperlaunch2 features that has been phased out. -Click Merge 10 you will be prompted to save a new XML, save as MAME.XML and start using your new genre filtered XML.
danwelsh Posted September 10, 2016 Author Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks guys. I meant games that are in Chinese, Japanese or other languages other than English.....nothing against other ethnicities I just don't like playing games I can't read
phulshof Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I think if you filter out the clones, quiz, mahjong, etc. you should be pretty close already. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
