Players Edge Plus??

[uberpubert69]

I noticed I have a huge amount of games in my MAME list just called Players Edge Plus. What's going on here? I have show only parent roms on. Can I get rid of it somehow?

Is this something that just started recently, or has it always been like that? What happens if you turn on Remove Duplicates and rebuild the list? If Remove Duplicates is already turned on please post your GameEx.ini and we'll have a look. Thanks man!

I'm pretty sure these are the new IGN poker and slot games, and yes they are new.

Do you have the no casino games filter on?

I just updated my set yesterday and noticed the new roms but haven't updated mame yet so I don't know if the filter is missing them or not. They should be marked as not working anyway.

Excellent call Adultery. Looks like it's about time for me to update my MAME set so I can keep up with the times!

Glad to be of some use once in a while.

That would explain why when I try to play the game it says I'm missing ROMs. Is it really that important to update mame every time its updated? That kinda sucks when you compile your own build lol. Also, I'm pretty certain that I have dupes off and casino games off as well.

I don't update MAME every time, but I do it often. As long as you don't make changes to your ROM set, you shouldn't need to update MAME at all. If you do keep your set current though, games will stop working unless you use the proper build.

As Adultery said. Unlike other emulators, your MAME build will depend entirely on your romset. Your MAME vers, and all its support files should match your romset version always. So, in short, if you update your romset, you will need to recompile MAME and get updated versions of the the support files to match.

Support files:

mameinfo.dat

history.dat

catver.ini

nplayers.ini

command.dat

controls.ini

hiscore.dat

For this reason i choose to skip a few versions of MAME each time. If you're not too bothered about keeping up with the latest you can keep the same set for (potentially) years. But if you start mixing versions of anything Mame related you're in for a big headache!
