[rfancella]

Wow... That is a pretty big update according to the changelog. Tons of work from the MAMEDevs! Thanks guys!

Thanks,

Ron

It's a biggie alright. Got most of it sorted out last night and this morning but had to leave uT hashing the CHDs and go to work, so thank goodness for TeamViewer!

So far it seems that the mame.ahk doesn't want to work with .154. Anyone else have that problem?

I haven't tested as yet. Does anyone have a .154 xml file for hyperspin?

Hey, someone had to ask. Get on it !!

I assume it can also be generated from the .dat file? Or do we loose some tags doing it this way?

[marxkemp]

There it is! I was waiting on that xml question ? funny!

Did somebody already asked for jumpstyle's magic? ?

[brolly]

You'll loose tags plus the dat file alone won't tell you if a game is working or not. Anyway main problem is that catlist isn't updated since 0.152 so any new games need to be tested in order to get the genres right, this means an update to the XML might take a while this time unless someone volunteers to help checking them.

Bahahaha... I managed to not say a word this time. Pretty funny.

Make a list of what you want checked... Share it with idiots like me, Gig, Ron etc. Sure we can sit down and play some games.

[brolly]

Will do asap, thanks mr. idiot

[rfancella]

Here here! Would be glad to help out where I can!

Thanks,

Greetings! You can always find the latest hi-score/no-nag diff at the arcadecontrols forum (see direct url below), MKChamp keeps it up to date with the official MAME releaes.

----

Note! For those of you that wish to manually ''remove the "nag-screens"/loading screens/rom-warning startup screens etc by editing the src\emu\ui\ui.c source, follow these simple instructions below: (this is useful for other versions of MAME that are not compatible with the diff above, for example MAME-Plus etc:

*** STEP 1: EDIT (open with notepad): src\emu\ui\ui.c --->>

Add the red line under the green lines as shown below: (I don't include line number since that sometime changes with each MAME version, use the search function and search for this exact spot)

const int maxstate = 3;

int str = machine().options().seconds_to_run();

bool show_gameinfo = !machine().options().skip_gameinfo();

bool show_warnings = !machine().options().skip_gameinfo();

int state;

show_gameinfo = show_warnings = show_disclaimer = FALSE; // <--- this line removes error/warning screens

*** STEP 2: EDIT (open with notepad): src\emu\ui\ui.c --->> REMOVES WHITE BOX & LOADING SCREENS DURING ROM STARTUP...

In ui.c search for the red line below and delete all the 3 instances of the line

machine().video().frame_update();

Catlist updated to 0.154. http://www.progettoemma.net/?catlist

[brolly]

Ah, excellent! Thanks for the heads up, that will help.

[Polemicist]

When ya ready give us a list. Heck I'm playing R-Type so why not catalog a list of other games.

[brolly]

I will, but with the new catlist that list will probably be much smaller now!

[Polemicist]

Always happy to help.
