sparky1821 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Hello, I got some pms a few weeks ago that my mame xml was gone from the hyperlist, I went there and they were all gone! ?? (part of the server upgrade?) anyways, after having some trouble with my pc browser, I finally got it back on Hyperlist tonight for those who wanted it Most of the credit goes to Lashek, and wherever he got his greatest hits list, My List is basically Lashek's greatest hits list, but it has been gone through one by one, and about 90 or so games that didn't work or werent playable were removed It's set for the .143 version of mame, so if your on .144 you might have to change the naming of a small handful of wheel arts and box arts and xml naming, if the mame team changed any names for the games in .144 that are on my list (I havent looked at .144 yet) Enjoy! Sparky
painfullyawesome Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Awesome, thanks! I'll check it out tonight!

blueblood Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Trying to find this xml but i cant, i've gone into hyperlist and clicked browse game lists and nothing shows up. Is there another way to get it?
Lashek Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 All custom lists have been wiped. I do have backups of a majority of the lists, however. Due to the constant wiping/recreating of the MAME database, many of the lists became invalid due to the current system design. -Lashek I invented HyperList! http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com Please do not ask me support questions about HyperList, I am no longer a part of the team/project.
sparky1821 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Posted March 11, 2012 Ok, no problem. Well I've been getting a lot of pm's about the sparky's greatest hits xml. So for now I threw a copy of it on the ftp under "upload here/sparky1821" but like lashek said my list is starting to be outdated as far as version of mame, not too big of deal though if you want the list. Since the list has only about 1400 hundred games. What will happen is because mine is from mame .143 and if someone is currently on .144 or .145 some game names may have changed slightly by the mame team, if you have wheel art or themes or videos not showing up and\or the game doesn't work, change anything but the rom names! I believe the mame emu needs the roms to be named exactly what they are, so if you see maybe a dozen or so things not matching up, change the name of the game in the xml to match the rom with the program "notepad ++" and change your wheel art name, and video snap name to match the rom. Do not change the rom name if you want it to keep working. You will only have these problems if the mame team changed any rom names slightly from version .143 to .144 or .145. (you might have to check theme naming too) Sparky
Lashek Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Sparky, go ahead and re-upload it to the website as well. The MAME database won't be purged again, and I have pretty much handed the reigns over to brolly. This way, it can maintain itself through updates. I feel it's in much better hands this way, and I can now focus more on HL itself. -Lashek I invented HyperList! http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com Please do not ask me support questions about HyperList, I am no longer a part of the team/project.
blueblood Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks guys, got the xml i was after and it works great.
golden_35 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 How do I find this list? I went to: http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/index.php?module=userlists and there is only 1 user contributed list there. Was the server upgraded again?

Golden if you read the thread it states that it was wiped. that was 2 days ago, give it a few days for the lists to be uploaded again.
golden_35 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Ok, thanks. This is my first project and when steps get interrupted, impatience happens. Lol, thanks for everyone in this forum. I am creating a Transformers G1 bartop cab. Pics to follow.

Hello to anyone waiting for me to re-upload my list, I have tried a couple times now and it always freezes at the "parse list" page, I'm not sure why, this happened a few times last time, then all of a sudden it worked, not sure why this is but I will keep trying so it's back on the hyperlist, but this only affects non donating members, if you have donated and have ftp access the xml is in my ftp folder Sparky
Drkdweller Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 sparky, i dont have your list on this machine so i cant do it, but you could post your xml list within code tags here, or make a sticky?

Drkdweller Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Sorry i have been very busy at work and thats where my cabs are, they are also the machines that have my fpt client, home computer blewup, so im limited to a pos laptop. I didnt know it was in your folder, but Golden looks to be a gold member as well. Golden if you dont have Ftp access yet ill PM ya tomarrow with it. thanks for letting us know you have it in your folder if Hyperlist goes blank again well know where to go.
sparky1821 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Ok, I finally got it back on Hyperlist, it's there right now, enjoy!
aertie Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Do I just copy your XML over mine??? (I will back up just in case) my set is .145, I believe you send I would have to rename some files correct??? do I just do this maual? Also I just got a fullset of CHD for .145 roms.. I have a open question out about that on the Forum, because not sure if I just merge both folder, or place the CHD in same folder as zipped rom? Thanks for all your help

I have a open question out about that on the Forum, because not sure if I just merge both folder, or place the CHD in same folder as zipped rom? Thanks for all your help just replace your xml with mine and name it mame.xml, if you ever want to go back you can just re-download the full xml from this website. yes rename manually, it should only be very few titles if any, you will know which ones right away because if they need changing, the game will not work when you try to play it. Manually change any themes/wheel art/video snaps and the game name in the xml(use notepad ++ to easily change a game name in an xml document)...but do not rename the rom!...if you rename the rom it won't work with your version of mame .145 emu here is a link to everything you need to know about chd's and my filtered list, you only need to keep about 15 gigs of the 215 gigs of chd's if you stick with my list http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15457 also, your chd's will go in your roms folder in their own folder! so for example, in the folder Hyperspin/emulators/mame/roms you will have all your .zip mame games, in this folder...create a folder for each chd...and put that .chd file in that folder example = simpsons bowling rom (simpbowl.zip) is in hyperspin/emulators/mame/roms folder chd (simpbowl.chd) is in hyperspin/emulators/mame/roms/simpbowl folder hope this helps! you can also keep your regular xml, and add my xml...and switch back and forth between the two using the "genre" function when using hyperspin, I don't do this though, so I can't give you specifics on it, but I know it can be done easily Good luck!
aertie Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Thank you so much, it all works great! not sure which ones I have to rename because of the .145 romset, told the kids to tell me which games dont work and I will rename them. havent found one yet. Thanks again

Thanks again Hey, glad you got it all working!, yeah it sucks that you can't find out exactly which ones have changed just from looking at the wheel, but from what I've seen with previous upgrades, it's always very few titles, if I had to guess...it's probably 10 games or less out of the 1400+ on my list, usually when they change it will be something very small that will change with name, example Ninja Gaiden I think in other versions changed from "gaiden" to "gaidena"... etc etc
johnodon Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Thak you so much Sparky. Just pulled the XML and now it is time to start banging out the CHDs. My set is at 146 so I'll need to do a little cleanup i'm sure. Thanks again! John "There are some who call me.......Tim."
sparky1821 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Hey no problem John!, Hope you get it all going nicely!, I've heard some version of street fighter has to be changed, good luck with everything Sparky
hardcorehubz Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 This list is awesome, thanks so much! Has anyone figured out what games need to be renamed to fit with .146 by chance? Or is there an easy way I can audit this anybody has come up with?
kingofall00 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 im sorry... but where do i download Sparky's XML file? i cant seem to find it
Kodiak Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 The script found here for updating Mame would also work on this...since it's Mame based. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.
