[MAME Software Lists Import Tool - plugin]

Yeah I went and downloaded the latest /hash/ and it works fine - I have no idea where these xmls came from. They're in the Software List folder itself. Either way - Not your problem. Thanks mate.

Unfortunately I'm struggling to import most things with this error when I try the "nes.xml" hash file from the Software List 0.261:

There is an error in XML document (3, 2).

Its a bloody shame Launchbox haven't done this themselves at this point. But your plugin is already great, so thanks for that!

@JoeViking245 no idea if you're still active on this plugin, but maybe you could add a filter for emulation status on this window so its more easy to pick out interesting platforms?

That is correct.  It's an 'import one at a time' thing.  Similar to how LaunchBox innately imports platforms.

To import over 700 platforms (approx. 135,911 games) in one-go would be a bit taxing.  

What would be great though is being able to at least import a subset in one go. IE provide a table to map them each to a platform.

Is there no way to bulk import all the platforms within the software list? Seems like this plugin you have to manually do each.
