How do I remove Game Info from Theme?

[javeryh]

I'm trying to make my own theme but I cannot figure out how to remove the yellow circled text in the picture I attached.  The toggles in Hyper HQ modify it somewhat but I'm not seeing an option to remove it completely.

Thanks.

That info comes from the XML.

Notepad plus plus (notepad++) will help you edit them easily.

Thanks.  The MAME.xml?  Is there an easy way to delete the stuff I don't want or is this going to be painful?  Right now I only have about 100 games on my arcade cabinet but I may be adding and subtracting games over time depending on my playing habits or if a guest wants to play a particular game.  The MAME.xml file has every game in there (like 9,000 of them) so I really don't want to edit it all manually if I can avoid it.

Also, in the future in the unlikely event that I change themes and want this info it will be gone although I suppose I could make a MAME-backup.xml just to be sure...

Back ups are always a good idea. There might be someone who can make a script or something that can remove it? Not sure, I usually just bite the bullet and do this sort of stuff manually (painfully hahaha).

use Dons tools to generate an  XML based on the games you have

it will not include any of the meta data.

Has says above: np++ and use regex to find and replace the strings.

Here is the regex for the titles :

<description>.*?<\/description>

Settings/MAME.ini

 game_text_active=false
show_year=false
show_manf=false
show_description=false
