Questions on catver.ini not showing certain genre

[NIVO]

ok heres the scoop. Cant seem to figure out why certain genres, namely Sports/ Football Amer. doesnt list under categories? Only thing in Sports related shows "Sports/Football Rugby" which shows only 3-5 games. Yet if you go look inside the catver.ini(106u10) you'll see games like this:

hardyard=Sports / Football Amer.

hardyd10=Sports / Football Amer.

hiimpac3=Sports / Football Amer.

hiimpacp=Sports / Football Amer.

hiimpact=Sports / Football Amer.

nflfoot=Sports / Football Amer.

yard=Sports / Football Amer.

those are a few examples found from catver.ini

So can anyone tell me how or why they arent showing in the categories listing, yet all other sports are appearing fine in the list?

thanks much for any help.

no one else has run into this problem?

do the games run perfectly in mame. ex no emulation errors, video is correct?

your filter could be set to not show imperfect games or maybe the genre? I might have these games as well I will check in my config.

It seems I have the same issue. The games appear in all games listing but it does not seem to belong to any catergory.

maybe tom can come up with a feature that would allow custom catergorys and the ability to add roms witin the catergory.

similar to the way we can exclude or include roms? just a thought.

sounds good, i was sure it wasnt just me I think catver should list all games as simply Sports / Football for soccer and Sports / Am Football

it would just be so simple to have 2 categories. and yes they show in all games, because i can play any of them from there(as yard is a jap set)

tom will you be looking into this matter? I think it deserves attention due to the fact that it involves quite a few games not coming into the list under categories. Being as such we only see anything related to Sports / Football as only listing 3 or 4 games, when clearly there are several games not even being shown. This is of a catver.ini nature, and i dont believe its related to filters, as I can see the games appearing in the "All Games" list. Thanks.

well i guess no one else besides Brian and I have this issue but getting to what Brian posted above, it would indeed be a huge benefit to allow custom categories that you could add or remove, based on info found from your catver.ini file. It would basically be a filters option but exclusively for the categories function. Tom if you could look into this I and others would be grateful to you. Thanks.

So are we saying there's a bug in GameEx, and some games are not showing under the correct categories?

[NIVO]

hi tom, i can only attest to this as gameex is not reading the catver.ini to its fullest extent. Whether it is the fe or the catver file I dont know. You are the coder heheheh, but i can certainly try to give you any info to best of my knowledge.

Just in case you missed it, this is fixed in the latest release.

[NIVO]

yes, thx so much tom. I am going to update cabinet this evening. Thank you very much.
