SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Sorry... I may not be understand this correctly. But I think your asking how you would use a database you made on a system? Ok first off, yes, if you do not need Genre XMLs/Databases then sure you can delete them. To enable a databse that you have made it first off needs to be valid. If it is then that should be fine. All you need to do is rename the xml file to the same name of whatever system it is you want to use it on. Example: If I wanted to change a Genesis Database into one that works on my system I would rename it to.... Genesis So that the entire file would look like Genesis.xml RMEMEBER!!!!!!!!!! Spelling, punctuation and caps all have to be EXACTLY the same as the system name Hope this helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks austin for reply The thing is like this i made game list CPS2.xml using romlister and the list contains only CPS2 system games and i would like to add to mame when i select genres i would select only the CPS2 list Hope anybody understand what i'm trying to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ahhhhh... now I think Im getting you. Well the most simple way to do it would be to add a Capcom Play System Wheel to your maain menu. But yes this is possible by a number of ways. Most simple (in my head)... now this may sound confusing.... Pick a Genre you dont really like/use Now first find the wheel art for that Genre, rename whatever wheel you want to use to the exact name as that Genre. Next the theme... do the same with your theme. Now the Databse... some with that. Now overwrite all those original files in your MAME media and database folders with the ones you just made. Now in theory, it should now show up with all your media and only show the list of games for CPS2 That what you mean?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yeah that i'm looking for but i dont have theme just cps2.xml not sure if you could write it step by step ? I'm bit confused.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolietbob Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Hello, I have the same question.... I just created a new xml file with all my favorite games using Don's tools. Called it bob.xml Austin, you state to just rename my bob.xml file and replace one of the current xml files in the database folder. ie. copy bob.xml --> /hyperspin/databases/mame/Casino Games.xml thus, when I select Casino Games in the Mame / Genres, i'll actually get my favorite games. Is that correct? Is there a way to just add a new genre and call it Bob's Games? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
