felixthadog Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have added a ROM into my mame/roms directory, but when I launch MameWah the ROM is not displayed in the Game List. How do I re-generate my Game List in MameWah? :unsure Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacies Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Press player 2 start button while at the frontend. It opens a menu box. Use joystick to move and player 1 start button to select/make changes. Player 2 to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a specific menu that I have to open? :unsure Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacies Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Its in their somewhere. I haven't used Mamewah for ages but I think it was in the 2nd to last in the 1st list, hit player 1 and then go to re-generate list. If you do this and it still doesn't show you prolly have a rom, mame version compatibility issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the menu from the main MameWah screen by pressing 2, then scrolled down to the option "Games List Options" and pressed 1. In the Games List Options window, I scrolled down to the option "Generate Filtered List..." and pressed 1. In the Generate Filtered List window, I pressed 2, then pressed 2 twice to get back to the main screen. The Game List had not been re-generated. The ROM that I expect to see is TMNT, and I have confirmed it is compatible with the MAME version by running the game from the command line.

spacies Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Have you checked to see if any filters are in place? Its also in the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthadog Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Have you checked to see if any filters are in place? Its also in the menu. There are no filters, everything is selected for display (Clones, Manufacturers etc). Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacies Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Try MALA, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthadog Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I've tried Mala, AtomicFE, GameEx, Mame32 and MameWah. Each of the FE's have their good and bad points, but once I understood how to configure MameWah, I found it suited my requirements better than than the other FE's. Except of course for re-generating game lists :rolleyes Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacies Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 LOL. Have you tried other roms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthadog Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 LOL. Have you tried other roms? Yep, other existing ROMs are showing up in the list, and I can play those directly from MameWah. But when I add a new ROM to the mame\roms directory, I can't re-generate the list to display the newly added ROM(s) :cry Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacies Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 mmmmmmm. IIRC some games require all the different roms, incl clones, to show in the list. I remember this being a problem for me with Moon Patrol until I added both mpatrol and mpatrolw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I dont really understand exactly what you pressed. When you open the menu scroll down to the "Games List Options" There should be three things??? Add Game to List Remove Game From List Generate List You need to press the third one "Generate List" Is this what you have done... Otherwise what is your list generation method in your ini files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise what is your list generation method in your ini files That is exactly what I did, but the games are not appearing in the list. The list generation method in the MameWah\config\mame\mame.ini file is "rom_folder_vs_listxml". Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Sorry I'm a little confused from the above post...Are you using filtered lists...Do you have more than one list set up in your mamewah?

felixthadog Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Sorry I'm a little confused from the above post...Are you using filtered lists...Do you have more than one list set up in your mamewah? Sorry, yes I am using my own game list, although it is not filtered (MameWah displays all my ROMs because I have not generated a filtered list). I have mame-0.ini and mame-1.ini files.

Amy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ok ill try explaining without too much confusion...but first can you tell me the list_title in your mame-1 ini file? First thing you need to do is go to your mamewah menu and go to select list....the first one should be titled "All games" the second may or may not be the same...however you need to select the first list....From here you need to generate you list...In the games list option there will be the three options I said earlier you need to press the third one "Generate list"...if it say "Generate filtered list" then you are using the wrong list and this will not work...

Fixed now, thanks. I generated the list from "All Games", then generated the list from "My Game List", which is my custom game list. I can now see all my newly added ROMs in my custom Game List :D Matthew where r u in melbourne, mate i may be able to have a look at it for you. Thanks for the offer, but no further help is required :) Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
