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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.aspx

Like i said, no problems here at all.

Good Luck

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.

When you say "since the last update", do you mean updating GameEx or Mame?

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

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.
