[RESOLVED] MAME Update List

[celly]

Ok gang I'm stumped and pist. I finally updated my MAME from .143 to .145. Before the update I had filters on my game list, quite honestly I don't remember which but It it was set good. I updated my MAME then started GameEx and ran the Update List. My numbers started to drop. From the 4500ish down to 3564. Then I went back to the Wizard, rechecked my filters and opened GameEx again and reran the update list. It dropped again to 3180. Again, I checked the Wizard and undid changes I did before then tried again. Now I'm down to 2170. What gives. I just updated all my MAME Roms and CHD's. I shouldn't be dropping in game numbers. Getting a bit ticked here since nothing that should work, is working. Any help? Which .ini you need MAME or GameEx?

Couple of things. Check the remove duplicates setting. Also GameEx is hard coded to filter Mechanical games in MAME so you will never get all 10,000 games.

A quick process of elimination, it was the clones. Doh! I hate when I do that. Resolved.
