Model 2 mame list

[LB11]

I noticed after upgrading to the newest model 2 emu that it doesnt show all the new games that are supported. Does Gameex use the mame version to build this list as well, or is there a set list for model 2 and zinc set aside somewhere that I can change?

GameEx has a list of games that are supported by the Model2 engine. The engine was upgraded a few months back to include command line support as well as new games. The new engine works just like the old one in GameEx, but I don't think anything inside of GameEx has been updated. As a result, it still launches with the wrapper, which is unnecessary (but not really a problem). More importantly though, the newly supported games will not run with the engine since GameEx doesn't know there is support for them. I don't know how complicated this would be to fix, but it hasn't been very high on Tom's priority list. I don't think there are that many people who have asked for it, so it's not likely to be updated any time soon. If you really want the new games supported, then I suggest adding a request for it in the "Features Request" thread.

Ok, I wasnt sure if someone made a quick fix or something. Im going to try adding those to the do not filter list. Maybe that will work.

The games that are in the new model2 engine but not recognized as such in GameEx should still be available in the main MAME list. They just won't show up in the model2 list or load with model2 is all. They should still load and play in MAME.

Oh ok, I thought I looked for virtua cop in the main list and it was not there.

Well, it's possible that it isn't. If you have GameEx set up to only show perfectly emulated games and MAME doesn't perfectly emulate the game, then it won't show up...even if model2 can do it with the new version. The only way to have it in there would be to either turn off that setting or to put it in the don't filter list. So, yeah...just do what you were going to do.
