Remove Text in Bracket

[griggs619]

Hey guys im have trouble getting the "Dont Show Text in Bracket" feature to work with turbografx cd (magic engine) i dont have this issue you with any of the other emulators i have set up. its really annoying with all the roms having such long names (as you can see in my game card). attached is my turbgrafx cd .ini thank you guys for any help you can provide.

Maybe try rebuilding the list? Delete the EMU_29.map file found in the DATA directory of you GameEx install.

this did work but only if i add this () type of bracket any text in [] type bracket still apperas. so i had to add () to any text after the rom name ex:

Addams Family [CD][TGXCD1019][iCOM Simulations][1991][PCE][rigg].cue

Addams Family ([CD][TGXCD1019][iCOM Simulations][1991][PCE][rigg]).cue

i hope i dont have to add these () in all my roms in this set?

Ahhhh ok. I thought it handled different brackets as well. Sorry! Then I would suggest creating a copy of that map file and then editing it with a text editor so that you don't mess with your files. You can use regex to clean it up easily. Also, Tempest created a MAP file app called Map File Magician that can simplify this for you. Then you just simply point GameEx to this file by selecting it in the Map File setting found in Emulator Setup.

An example would be as follows:

Addams Family [U][CD][TGXCD1019][ICOM Simulations][1991][PCE][rigg].cue|Addams Family

or

Addams Family [U][CD][TGXCD1019][ICOM Simulations][1991][PCE][rigg].cue "Addams Family"

i tried fixing the map file for adams family real quick just to test. I edited the EMU_29 map file to look like this:

Addams Family [CD][TGXCD1019][iCOM Simulations][1991][PCE][rigg].cue "Addams Family"

it worked but only on the game select menu once i select "adams family" on the game info screen it goes back to showing the full name? its so long it bleeds into the play game option so you cant read anyting.

I use a pipe for MAP files if it makes any difference. Maybe I'm not observant enough to notice this? *shrugs*

If you just edit the EMU_29.map file then it will be rewritten because GameEx will rebuild it. Did you follow the directions I gave? I quoted myself to the key points again.
