[APPLICATION] Non-Magical Mame Clone Thingy

Recommended Posts

Most of us know that PacMan is a clone of Pucman. If you live in the U.S. or some other English speaking country, you have probably already added pacman to your 'Do Not Filter' list. (Actually GameEx comes preconfigured this way.)

Mame Clone Thingy makes it easy to determine if there are clones that you would rather run instead of their parent.

When the program is run, the check boxes are pre-selected along with the 'best guess' of which clone to use. I say best guess because IMHO pacman is the best clone for puckman, however, there is no information in the description that would indicate that is true.

Check the selections over and make any changes that suit your needs. If you uncheck a box, that item will be skipped over. When you are satisfied, click 'Do it!' and the DoNotFilterROMS and ExcludedMAMERoms in your GameEx.ini will be updated. Update your list, and you should be good to go.

Possible issue:
The existing entries in your GameEx.ini are added to, and not over written. If you have already added games to either DoNotFilterROMS or ExcludedMAMERoms they will still be there. OTOH, it is possible that a game in your existing Excluded list may be added to Do Not Filter list, and vice-versa. I'm not sure what GameEx would do if that happens. I may fix this later.
