When I'm trying to filter my MAME list in GEE, I'm trying to understand how the "Excluded ROM Filter" works. It seems to work for thing like bioses, and a few other, but for names ROMs, I can't seem to get it to recognize the ROMS I want to exclude. Here's an example of what I'm trying:
I want to exclude all beatmania games from my audited list of games, but I don't want to move the ROMs.
The ROMs are all named bm<random>mix.zip.
When I audit my game list in GEE, the "Edit Game List" in MAME Emulator Setup shows the games as beatmania<verion, release, etc>
In the "Excluded ROM Filter" for MAME (under Emulator Setup), I have:
*[BIOS]*;*(Demo)*;* Test*;*(Japan)*;*(Asia)*;
That works, fine, but if I add any of the follow to the list, then re-audit the games list, the beatmania games never disappear.
beatmania*;
or
bm*mix;
or
*bm*mix*;
How do I properly use the filter and is there a limit?
