[RESOLVED] Map file question

[Ptinolv]

Hello,

I am trying to setup Demul on my cab. I use the Demul map file of Gameex. The problem is that GameEx shows me ALL the names that are in the Map Files even if i don't have the roms. Is there a way to just display the games/roms that i have on my computers ?

Thank you in advance.

A custom map file will need to be generated based on your collection. There are a few map file apps that were created by a few of our users found in the forums. However, I am unaware of their functionality.

Thanks for the answer. I did check Map File Maker. But it doesn't do what i really want. It takes the rom name and generate a real name from it. But in demul my roms are like vs2_2k , so It cannot really get a real name out of it. Any ideas so i don't have to create map file manually ? In the meanwhile i ll check other tools...

Adultery and Tempest have both made tools for map files. Maybe one of them can chime in to let us know if their apps will work. Try the user projects subforums and also the pinned and hot topics subforum for these apps. If you give me a list if your roms, I can generate one for you.

I tried those tools. Either i dont understand how they work (which is likely) or they don't do what i need. Anyway, i'll check that later and probably do it manually as i don't have that many roms.... I would be nice though if there was an option integrated in gameex

Using the map file for Demul that comes with GameEx, have you tried highlighting the games in the list that you do not have and hitting the Delete button on your keyboard? This will take some time but you can easily prune the list that GameEx is presenting using this method.

It would have saved me some time, but unfortunately i already did my map file manually I'll try that next time

Glad you were able to figure out how to do so within the map files.
