Mame Update List Problem


REconstructible

Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

I have some trouble with Mame emulator. I tried (emulators with the same game versions):

.145

-mame regular

-mameui32

.148

-mame

-mameplus

-mameuifx32

The problem is that, when I run emulators and audit games, I do not have any problem (also I can play games). But when I tried to updatelist via gameex, gameex could not able to find any verifyable roms. The final emulator that I tried is mameuifx32 (.148 version).

Can you please help me with this issue.,

Thanks

ps: sorry for my lack of english

Try turning off the Verify Sets option.

I had done to turn off the Verify Sets, but I had no luck:
01:54:13.3 03.03.2013: Updating MAME Game List
01:54:13.3 03.03.2013: Running: C: C:\Emulators\Mame\mameuifx32.exe -listxml > C:\Emulators\Mame\listinfo.dat
01:54:29.7 03.03.2013: Opening Listinfo.dat
01:54:31.2 03.03.2013: Reading ListInfo.dat
01:54:41.4 03.03.2013: Reading ListInfo.dat - DONE
01:54:41.4 03.03.2013: Total verifyable roms: 0
01:54:41.4 03.03.2013: Processing ListInfo.dat
01:54:52.1 03.03.2013: Listinfo.dat Processing Complete
I am trying this thing like 3 weeks without any success. only thing that I can understand is that while opening it writes Listinfo.dat, but when reading ListInfo.dat is used, "i" "I" can uppercase be a problem (I am not using english windows and in my country i and I are two different letters).
Is there anything I can do to work Mame emulator properly? If I setup mame under emulated games section (like the other emulators) I have no problem finding games. But at that time titles are problem.

Hi there,

Apart from the log listing no errors from listinfo.dat i doubt it is the culprit. I am by no means an expert but my list is fine.

Try these settings (which are mine) and see what happens:

Only Working - Yes

Allow Imperfect - Yes

Verify - No

Only Existing - Yes

Remember you must Update List within GameEx after making these sorts of changes :) It will be in MAME>bottom-of-list

-EDIT- i also notice you are using a non-standard version of MAME. This can open up a whole can of worms :wacko: Have you tried using/compiling vanilla MAME? It works very well! Not just within GameEx but in general :D

-EDIT 2- ok i re-read your original post and see you used vanilla MAME twice at least, which brings me to another question: do your roms match your version of MAME?

I'm just trying to clarify things in order to get you a better response ;)

Dear DazzleHP,

Thank you for your assist on this issue, my roms match with emulator versions. As you said, I used original Mame but when I have trouble I tried other emulators (but) with no luck :(. I have updated every time after setup. Also I uninstall and install gameex several times as well :). In my opinion I am

missing a tiny thing that I can not see :)

The controller is on its way, I hope the problem will be resolved before it arrives :)

Thanks all for your help.

Hello to all,

I resolved my problem. I think, as I said, the problem is (what I think of) the Windows language. I tried all solutions on forums (on Gameex) but I had no solution. Then I tried to change Windows default language but as I said on my previous messages, my Windows (Vista) is in Turkish and I have no solution because of non ability to change language on my installed Windows. Then I bought and installed Windows 8 (in english) and then when I installed gameex, I have no problem (the destination folders are the same as previous) with Mame games. I am neighter a computer engineer nor a coder but what I think is the problem is the difference of language. Please check the iterations again because in Turkish, i and I are 2 seperate letters.

Also thank to Tempest and Dazzle HP for your helps for solution on my problem.
