Disable/Hide duplicate games

[wilef]

Got everything setup, but the romset I got has like 10 versions of the same game (US, Japan, HK, Euro, etc). As I'd like a cleaner wheel, I'm planning on deleting all duplicates manually, unless someone has a better way to handle this. I was wondering if you can filter by country and remove non-US titles like with the MAME content manager, but I didn't see a way to do this.

 

On a similar note, what if the 'main' rom is non-US and you just want to show the US version? For instance:

dogfgt            "Acrobatic Dog-Fight"
dogfgtj           "Dog-Fight (Japan)"
dogfgtu           "Acrobatic Dog-Fight (USA)"

 

If I delete the Dog-Fight Japan rom, I still see 2 versions in Hyperspin, the dogfgt one is still playable and Japanese, and the US version. I can't delete the main one without the US one not working. So how do I hide the second copy in Hyperspin without disabling the US version?

The easiest way is to enable the “parent only” filter in HQ.

Like you said though, the parent is not always the preferred game. Interestingly HS does not get parent/clone info from mame itself but rather from the XML.

So if we take Pac-Man as an example you can find Pac-Man in the XML and delete “Puckman” from in between the “clone of” tags and it will show up as a parent. Then go to Puckman in the XML and put Pac-Man inside the clone of tag and HS will see it as clone and hide from wheel.
