Mame is not showing in PBX as an option

[bpjacobsen]

I'm sure I have something setup incorrectly in PBX but not sure what. See attached. Mame is not appearing in the front end. I have it working fine outside PBX, it just won't show in the menu when executing PBX.

Start by reading some documentation. Section 5.5

We'd still need your Pinballx.ini and your log.txt to give you any real help.

Try changing parameters to just [TABLEFILE]

Mine looks like what's on the link below.

Do you have a MAME.xml at location "PinballX\Databases\MAME" ?

[bpjacobsen]

Yes, I do have the database xml file for MAME. Tried changing to [TABLEFILE] but mame still dn show. checking the documentation provided

[bpjacobsen]

OK, just realized the games are there but they are mixed in with the pinball tables. I was expecting a separate list called mame to appear since game mgr has it setup separately. why would I not be seeing a separate list called mame in my menu? I have attached the requested files in case you still need them. Gonna read the section in the pbx manual on this as well to see if I missed anything

log.txt

PinballX.ini

[bpjacobsen]

OK, got it now. Thanks for the info. I will keep this manual handy.

Find your PinballX/Databases/MAME/MAME.xml file.

Make a copy of the file. Call it Arcade.xml.

Go back to your MAME.xml and edit it.

Clear all games and leave only the following two lines as the content of MAME.xml:

<menu>

</menu>

Now when you start PinballX you will have a new menu item called "Arcade" (or probably "Arcade Tables")

When you click the Arcade menu item it will take you to a secondary wheel that has your MAME games.
