Clones are different versions of the same game, so either for a different market (Japan, China, Korea, Asia, Europe, USA, ...) or a later update. If people were to give me criteria upon which to generate a specific database, I could probably do it, but what qualifies as Atari Classics? Games by Atari before a certain year? If so: what year? Same for everything else; I need objective criteria upon which to filter the list.

Assuming this is for MAME, why not use the official XML files?

Well, if the base of these files is sound, I can very easily add other variants to it, though if I add all variants this will be a rather extensive set. For now I think I favor releasing it as a sub set, but if different people want different variants I may just make it a separate set in stead.

@thatman84 Will these suffice? If so, they'll automatically be included in a separate directory starting from the MAME 0.188 XML files. Let me know whenever you guys decide to add new clones to the list. jojobane comes to mind (English version of jojoba (Japanese)).

Ok, have a look at these, and let me know if they fit your needs or if I need to make additional changes. mame_no_casino_clones_mahjong_mature_quiz_electro_utilities.xml mame_no_casino_clones_mahjong_mature_quiz_electro_utilities_playchoice.xml mame_no_casino_clones_mahjong_quiz_electro_utilities.xml mame_no_casino_mahjong_mature_quiz_electro_utilities.xml mame_no_casino_mahjong_mature_quiz_electro_utilities_playchoice.xml mame_no_casino_mahjong_quiz_electro_utilities.xml

Sure, but assume I didn't read this 14 page thread. [emoji3] What exactly should be in this additional xml file? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Can you elaborate? What exactly should be in this list? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I've updated the .180 files; should be automatically fixed from now on.

No, I did not. Is there a complete list of changes I should do? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
