database <enabled> parameter

[EB27]

Hello

I am trying to keep my databases intact and using the <enabled> flag to hide non working roms from the wheel.

This is a sample game entry that shows up in the wheel even with <enabled> set to No.  I have tried 0, N, n, "0", F, False and none will hide the game from the wheel.

  <game name="bass" index="true" image="b">
    <description>Sega Bass Fishing</description>
    <manufacturer>Sega</manufacturer>
    <rating>Other - NR (Not Rated)</rating>
    <year>1997</year>
    <genre>Sports/Fishing</genre>
    <enabled>No</enabled>
  </game>

 

If i add enabled="0" as shown below then the game does get hidden from the wheel.

  <game name="bass" enabled="0" index="true" image="b">
    <description>Sega Bass Fishing</description>
    <manufacturer>Sega</manufacturer>
    <rating>Other - NR (Not Rated)</rating>
    <year>1997</year>
    <genre>Sports/Fishing</genre>
    <enabled>Yes</enabled>
  </game>

 

I have been using HyperT00ls to easily modify the xml's <enabled> parameter for non working games.

Is there any way to get Hyperspin to hide the roms from the wheel using <enabled>No</enabled> parameter?

Or do I need to manually edit the <game> parameter for every non working game?

I do use the filter clones and filter wheel, but I have all the art for the non working games and don't want to delete it

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Why not filter "roms only" and move or delete the roms you don't want to see on the wheel?

You can keep your database and media intact but store the unwanted roms in a different location so they are not seen.
