Guillermo075 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hello everyone, happy new year, I use Dons Hyperspin Tools 4.3.26 to generate my xml for the database, the problem is that I want to complete the other data such as manufacturing, year, description, etc. In the case of MAME, I have an xml file that exports the exe of the mame to obtain the information, or even the exe, but the option to generate a hyperspin list from the mame's xml fails. Could someone tell me how I can complete these fields automatically? For me it is important because MAME has really strange names in their roms and the description that appears in the mame4.exe is super necessary. Thank you very much in advance!

phulshof Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Out of curiosity: what's wrong with the ones I provided in the official MAME XML thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 only way you will get all the meta date is to use FIlter Hyperlist.exe in the dons tools folder, you will need to make a malelist.XML witch contains all the meta data you need. the process to add the meta data to an XMl that is missing its meta data is to long to list. you are better of downloading phulshof MAME XMLs and using filter Hyperlist.exe to remove the games you do not want from a full MAME.XML with meta data. or just save yourself the hassle and use one of his filtered XMLs.

Guillermo075 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi, thanks for the answers, it's not exactly for the MAME, it's for the HBMAME that works exactly the same. In my case I have some games of HBMAME (not all) and I have the hbmame.exe, I extracted the xml from the hbmame.exe and it has all the metadata, in parallel, I use the Dons to make my xml with the roms that I have from the HBMAME but are missing these metadatas, then I have an xml with my roms without metadata and another xml with all the data of the mamexml, there should be some tool that compares game names in both xml and complete the incomplete with the data of which if it is complete, not if it is understood.

phulshof Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm afraid I haven't done HBMAME XML files since 0.198. That's the best I can do for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 their is one in hyperslist http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/ and from your description it sounds like all you are doing is filtering all you need to do is download the official HBMAME XML generate your XML with the roms you want (have) open Filter Hyerlist.exe Hyperpin Source XML --> Official HBMAME XML Hyperpin Exclude XML list --> YOUR XML with the games you want. ignore everything else, and don't bother generating a mamelist.xml click scan when your PC scans your XML and you get the second screen, Generate (export) a new XML that only includes all the games from your Exclude XML (the XML you generated with all your games) the new exported XML will contain all your games and it will include all the meta date given that the new exported XML was generated from the official HBMAME XML.
