UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 GameEx not listing Mame roms past CarnEvil since last update. I've tried updating the list several times and no luck. I have all the latest dats and the current 1.50 version of Mame. Any help would be very appreciated.log.txtGameEx.ini 1
Krakerman Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I noticed this when I upgraded MAME to 0.150 last night but I figured it out. Turn on verify roms in the setup wizard under the MAME settings and then do a scan and the list will be restored.
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 I did that. It still doesn't work.
Krakerman Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Do you have your game filter OFF?Those are the things I did last night and it finally restored my list. Also make sure you updated your mameinfo.dat file to 0.150
Rychem28 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 It has to do with the history.dat file. There is a | separator placed in the description of Carnevil. If you go do a manual edit of the history.dat and takeaway the separator, then rebuild the list everything will be fine.Took me a while to figure this one out. 2
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 I turned it off. Did another update, which took twice as long and did nothing. Still doesn't list past CarnEvil.
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 OK. Removing the seperator and changing it from [shotgun|shotguns] to just [shotguns] made the list come back, but there are still games missing like Xmen Children of the Atom.
Rychem28 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 See the attached png. It is in the Carnevil description and located between the words shotgun and shotgun's
Krakerman Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Not sure if that is the issue because all I did was turned on verify roms and did a scan and my list was restored. 1
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 Also there are not any games listed under the Neo Geo menu...
Rychem28 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Never even noticed that, maybe the same issue is contained within those descriptions. I am going to go take a look to see if my XCOTA is there.
Rychem28 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Maybe the other roms not showing up are due to verification. Once I "fixed" the history.dat file I got roms past Carnevil with verification turned on. Prior to the change not all roms were listed regardless of verification and the database that was built for MAME stopped at Carnevil.When I pulled the history.day out from the pointer in the Setup Wizard all roms appeared, albeit with no history.
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 I opened up the history.dat again and did ctrl+h and replaced all | with a blank. I have verify off and filter on. I did a re scan which brought Xmen back, but still no Neo Geo in the list.
Krakerman Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Did you try an older history.dat file and see what happens?
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 Not yet. When I removed the history.dat there still isn't any neo geo listed.
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 Just tried the 149 dat. Everything seem to be there except the neo geo in the first menu.
u-man Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Dont know what to say, but I have the latest MAME 0.150, history.dat and everything else. No problems at all. My Neo Geo Section says 151 Roms are there. There must be a faulty History.dat you use or some other faulty stuff, that is used, when GameEx is generating the list.All games here, even the XCOTA.Get all the files from here: http://www.gameex.com/Download/Supportfiles.aspxLike i said, no problems here at all.Good Luck
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Of the two working links on that page, I got them from the same place. I haven't had a problem with any of them until now, and apparently it's not just me.
u-man Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 here are my files, that i use to generate the mame-list. maybe they are working for you.good luck.GAMEEX_DATA.7z
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 I appreciate that very much. Unfortunately, I am using Mame 1.50. These are for Mame 1.47. Thanks for your help though.
Tempest Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 GameEx not listing Mame roms past CarnEvil since last update. I've tried updating the list several times and no luck. I have all the latest dats and the current 1.50 version of Mame. Any help would be very appreciated.When you say "since the last update", do you mean updating GameEx or Mame?
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 GameEx update. Same as the other 2 members in the begining of the post. I updated GameEx after the Mame 1.50 update. Thank you for your help.
nullPointer Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Just to verify the current state of affairs, all games are displayed, but the Neo Geo category isn't listed in the category selection list? If that's the case it sounds to me like there might be some kind of issue with the catver.ini you're using. It might be worthwhile to replace your current version of the file with one found here: http://www.progettoemma.net/?catlist
UNFORGIVEN II Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Thats the ini I am using. The only way I can get all the games listed is to disable filter in advanced settings and to delete the history dat. Even then there is not any Neo Geo listed. I've re-dowloaded everything including GameEx (re-installing) and that as far as I have been able to get so far. Anything else results in GameEx only listing to CarnEvil.
