B2K24 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Nice discussion and progress that's taking place here An idea to consider here is if a user creates there own file by copying and pasting sets from Categori.ini (similar to map files but without description) then some kind of software or plugin scans/parses this file and creates a compatible PBX XML that can be used to generate a game listing. So lets say a user wants all the Shooter / Flying Vertical as well as the Fighter / Vertical in their PBX setup. It only takes seconds to C&P such a list but then it would be nice for a super simple way to get everything in the created listing to PBX XML format 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Sorry to steal the fire but I just added this feature to GameEx. Now available. Just update the MAME game list and it will create the XML files in DATA\PinballX. It creates several lists but focuses on Vertical games. It just dumps whatever you have in GameEx so can create a very clean list depending on what filters you use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 While this is not standalone as we were going, this is still excellent news and I look forward to giving it a try! Thanks Tom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Your post as well as interest noted by a few others. Good feedback helps us keep the wheels of ingenuity and innovation turning! By the way Tom, I confirmed that it generated the latest xml format for PinballX for all versions (All, Horizontal, MAME (which appears the same as Vertical) and Vertical. Great job and thanks again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very fun and convenient to jump back and forth from playing some Pinball and playing some MAME all using PBX Now if someone could kick Circo into gear with getting */Official/Other/MAME Upscaled PinCab Vids* updated I will be a very happy man I have to figure out now what can show on my 2nd backglass display while I'm playing a MAME game with PBX and what shows when I'm flipping though different games before launching. Thank You again Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the MAME HD Themes by CriticalCid for my backglass videos for MAME during my testing of this and they look great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B2K24 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I just realized Tom originally made the MAME PinCab videos. I thought it was Circo. I know Tom probably has a million and one projects all going on simultaneously, but if an update happens someday, I'll be really really happy https://emumovies.com/forums/topic/8050-upscaled-mame-pincab-videos-on-ftp/?tab=comments#comment-16199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
