Hi all!
for years it seemed necessary to manipulate back and forth different XML structures with a number of tools that now mostly are obsolete.
Coming across @r0man0`s full list approach I`m wondering, whether that has now changed? While not perfect, I seem to be able to generate a full list of current MAME version 0.284b, with a lot of detail to each game, and directly stuff it into Hyperspin in expected format.
My question: is there a reason why I would now strip that full list to just the ROMs I have? Or does Hyperspin simply only show the games for which there is a Wheel logo available, and so I could just ensure I match the Wheel logos and other artwork to just the ROMs I actually have?
For MAME Genres I realize I can now directly use the full list as input to Don`s Filter Hyperlist tool and export the desired subset, again with a Hyperlist compatible XML.
I`m thankful for any feedback, corrections or comments in the quest to keep maintenance as low as possible.
Thx
