Problems with game list: not applying filters, showing clones, etc....

[Mike_Fu]

I have the latest version of Gamex (clean install today). In my MAME options I have it set to not show bracketed text, no clones, no mahjong, no japanese games and such. However, after runing the Update List option a couple times I still have all of those roms showing up.

Currently I have 8000ish games in my list which is of course a pain to sort through. Any idea as to why the filters don't seem to be taking effect?

*Resolved*

Turns out it was an issue with Mame32... not GameEx.

I was using version 131.u1. Apparantely there are some issues with this release. I reverted to 131 and all is working fine.

I just installed MAME 0.132 and am seeing the same problem. After an update list it shows 8000 including a bunch I don't have.

Like the other threads, going back to MAME 0.131 resolves the problem.

In 0.132 the log looked to show after processing listinfo.dat it skipped going through the rest of the game list processing (history, controls, etc..) that happens with 0.131.

Comparing listinfo.dat files created with each versions seems to show an element change.

<!ELEMENT game (description, year?, manufacturer, biosset*, rom*, disk*, sample*, chip*, display*, sound?, input?, dipswitch*, driver?)>

<!ELEMENT game (description, year?, manufacturer, biosset*, rom*, disk*, sample*, chip*, display*, sound?, input?, dipswitch*, configuration*, adjuster*, driver?)>

Not sure if that's messing anything up.

<configuration name="Cabinet">

<confsetting name="Upright/w One Hit Button"/>

<confsetting name="Upright/w P1/P2 Hit Buttons" default="yes"/>

<confsetting name="Cocktail"/>

</configuration>

Watching the progress, 0.132 looked to show a progress update at 20%, then sped through creating the list of 8000 games including BIOSs, etc...

0.131 showed progress updates at a few more instances in listinfo.dat and then went through the rest of the steps of building the game list - ending up with the ~1000 that are in my collection.
