Game names without brackets

[AlphaUMi]

Ive not been able to duplicate the issue. Can you post your gameex.inis please. Thanks.

Things are getting worse... I've tried to upload my ini file and got this error message: Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file.

What should I do now?

If it matters, I'm using the latest stable version of Firefox, Win XP SP3.

P.S.: If you want, you can download my ini file from here.

It just doesn't support that extension (the forum I mean). You can just zip it in the future.

@ Adultery: thanks for the information!

Just in case, attached is my ini file.

I don't know about you, but in my country is late night. So good night and see you tomorrow!

@Tom: You should already have my ini and it has this problem as well as not filtering clones, adult games, and mahjong.

I noticed in your config it was not actually set to remove brackets. It should be set to yes.

Can you try turning off "only existing roms"? Did you update catver.ini from the one included with GameEx? If so can you post it.

Cheers.

OK. I am going to run a list update with the new settings. I update catver.ini along with all my support files everytime I update my MAME build. I have attached the zip below.

I turned brackets off when I was trying stuff out to get it to work before. I'll post back when I'm done updating the list.

@Tom: Oh snap! I forgot I had turned the brackets on because I have clones showing up and that makes it so I have a bunch of the same ROMs and I needed the brackets to distinguish which is which. Sorry about that... It's that my filters aren't working that forced me to enable this. My brackets are indeed removed (but the other problem is still present).

[Tom Speirs]

As far as I can see there are three things I can see that would cause this. MAME Emu Map support, imported MAME32 inis or imported MAME32 favorites.

This is fixed for the next release but in the meantime turn off remove duplicates. It has no effect anyway when not showing clones.

Cheers.

Tom.

Fixed it! I removed my custom lists and the filters work perfectly now.

This resolves a long time problem for me. I'll see if I can find the original thread and post the solution in there. Thanks for the help Tom!

That would explain why I couldn't duplicate. I don't have custom lists. Sorry! Glad you figured it all out.

Where can I find my custom list, in case I have one (I suppose to have one, due to the fact that my mame game names have brackets). Please Adultery, post a bit more detailed information on how to proceed, (at least until the next release..)

[Adultery]

I mentioned it earlier but I had brackets on because my list was showing clones. My problem was that list filters weren't working. Sorry but that won't help you as you would know if you added your own custom list as it takes some effort to create one.

Your issue was the other the other thing I referred to. This was two different issues. You need to turn off remove duplicates.
