Excluded Roms Limit? or a Bug?

[sktung]

I've been enjoying testing out GameEx and am planning on using it as my primary interface for MAME.

However, I have run into a frustrating problem with the Excluded Roms function. After taking several hours to DELETE all the games that I don't want included through the GameEx interface, I found that everytime I UPDATE GAME LIST, a vast majority of the deleted games show back up.

Is there some kind of character limit for the ExcludedRoms list? I deleted approximately 1400 different games - maybe it can only store the first 200 or so?

What else could be causing this problem?

Other than this problem - everything else is working great.

Thanks,

Stephen

This could be partly to do with rom renames with each new mame build.

It seems the config application overwrites the excluded games only supporting about 256 MAME games. If you went into Advanced MAME settings after deleting the games and saved it would have lost most of them. Otherwise it appears to work fine. This issue is fixed my end now, and will appear in next release.

Cheers.
