MAME - Categories - LightGun Games

[frizat]

I tried searching the forum for this issue, but to no avail.

I just recently updated my catver in GameEX and noticed that if I go onto MAME the top level categories didn't seem to update.

For example, LightGun Games doesn't show Aliens3 - The Gun or Revolution X. Yet if I go and select all MAME Games and then Categories I'm able to find both of those games under "Shooter / Gun".

How do I update the top level MAME Categories? They seem to be set by GameEx and not Catver

Thanks

Did you update your game list in GameEx after replacing the catver file?

GameEx builds all this info while it's scanning your rom directory

Yup, I changed the catver in my GameEx directory and then rebuilt the categories inside of the MAME menu in GAMEEX. Wasn't sure which category GameEx used to check on LightGun Games. I can see it in the sub-mame category menu, so I wasn't sure how the top level categories were populated.

Thanks!
