Gothicplsur Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hey Gang! Recently gone platinum and refueled my fire for Hyperspin, it was a kindling fire for the last 4 years as I just enjoyed what I had so far. With that said, going into Rocket Launcher and doing an audit on each emulator I have set up, I go to "missing roms" and I am missing some which I can find out there on the interwebz of course, but then I get to Mame, and it seems that the CHDs are the ones missing. Is that an AHK thing or do I not have the rom directory set up right or is it an AHK thing? Or am I really in the wrong place to ask this question. *shrugs* But looking at Hyperlist, there are no AHK files to be had like there was or am I missing something altogether? TIA.

TIA.Hi GothicplsurAHK = Auto HotKey. It is used for things like navigation/commands (keystrokes) from joystick. So it has nothing to do with roms or auditing.CHD = Compressed Hunks of Data (or Compressed Hard Drive). It is a file format developed by mame and is not included with any regular rom set. The complete CHD set is somewhere around 500GB and a very low percentage of them are actually playable. My advice would be to do some research on what CHD's actually work and only grab the ones from those that you will actually play.Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothicplsur Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Ok, so I must be thinking of the XML? Where does RocketLauncher get it's games list from in the audit? And I actually have all of the CHDs in my Mame roms folder, but they are the "missing" when I do the RL audit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawk Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yes XML is the database. Well I wouldn't worry about the audit (RL is probably just scanning the "rom" folder and not all the individual game folders that the chd's are in) as long as the games run!You can highlight one and hit the little rocket icon and see if it loads.Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothicplsur Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Ok Cool! With that said, Mame is usually the only system really that gets updated frequently, is there a person or thread that does the current XML for the Mame system? Or maybe even a thread that can show me how to create my own updated XML each month using the previous XML and all it's existing info? I remember seeing one person posting an XML that has been filtered, no mahjong, casino etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawk Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I imagine most xmls you find around here are filtered for those types. You can find in the download section an app called "mame list generator" or something. You can make your own filters with it.Honestly, I update mame as rarely as I can, every single month is just ridiculous.Sent from my SM-A705W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
