catver.ini issue

[mimezu]

Thank you Tom for all those new versions those days

But I (again) have a small issue with GameEx.

When I update my mame game list, gameex no longer use catver.ini informations, I am using MAME standard version, and I have the latest catver.ini version, with the good path to it in the config.ini, but Gameex is just ignoring it. There is no more category in Gameex (the catlist.txt file in data folder created by gameex is empty)

In the gamelist.txt file every game is like this :

005|005|Sega|1981|True||False|V|224|256||[-LF-][-LF-][-LF-]You play secret agent 005, your mission is to take a briefcase filled with secret documents to a waiting helicopter. But, enemy agents are everywhere, trying to thwart your every move, luckily you are armed with cannisters of gas.[-LF-][-LF-][-LF-]|635[-LF-]1432[-LF-]1588[-LF-]1659[-LF-]1929[-LF-]2171[-LF-]2416[-LF-]2681[-LF-]|2P alt|0|False|True|joy4way

I guess that between true||false there should be the category ?

Every other file is working with gameex update feature, nplayers.ini, history.dat, mameinfo.dat.

I am now using mame32 ini folders, but the catver support was great in the past versions and I misst it

Thanxs

I come upon the same issues he is having. When I my mame roms list it just blicks and nothing being update. The 7.09 version of GameEX had no issues when updating roms list. Also added is a bug saying rom path error. I have mame arcade roms in F:\Mame32\roms and the CHDS E:\chds (note chds are in folder which worked before) the format in GameEX config suppose to be F:\Mame32\roms;E:\chds.

For your first problem you need to delete the gamelist.txt file in the data folder before updating your gamelist, it seems to fix the issue.

For the second problem, there seem to be a bug when you enter more than one rom path.

I tried a lot of things for my catver problem, but with no luck, still no category for the games, and the catlist.txt file in DATA stays empty, anyone have ideas ? I really miss the game categories from earlier gameex versions

I just uninstalled and did a fresh reinstall of GameEx, and I still have the same issue : no categories in the mame list.

Everything seems to be configured correctly, the configuration is pointing to the good catver.ini, but in the end, after updating the mame game list, everything is working except the category section. by year, by name, or by manufacturer are working allright, only the by category is empty.

in the DATA folder, the catlist.txt file is just empty, nothing inside.
