Jason Carr said Not currently, but I can review that to see if we can integrate it or similar. Can you get me that XML file for review? I am not sure if imgema got a xml over to you or not but that would be an awesome feature in order to use a hyperspin xml file to weed out the junk. Basically if you use Don's Hyperspin Tools (it is a program that makes it real easy that you can rename roms or create your own xml files among many other things) it is a program that makes it really easy to weed out mame clones,adult games,bios,mahjong,etc. and you can include anything or remove anything you wish and then it will generate a xml file. Also some example clones that you want to keep are pacman and tmnt2po (2 player version of tmnt) and etc. It was originally created for hyperspin but the xml files it creates can be used with any frontends that has the ability to read xml files. In fact I have all my xml files located in the database folder inside of Launchbox so Rocketlauncher can read them to get the info for the fade and etc. that rocketlauncher uses when I use LB. I imported my mame games last night in LB and chose all the options to remove clones, bios and etc. and while it removed the majority of it , it still left a lot of junk behind that I need to figure out how to remove. If it had the ability to read an xml file that already had the stuff you don't want removed that would be awesome!

Ah...that was the problem as I did not choose MAME as the emulator because I chose rocketlauncher since I run all my games through it. So I did the force MAME metadata and it worked...thanks!

I am not getting that screen that you posted "How would you like to import your Mame games" when I am trying to import my mame games. I read in another thread that you had to click beta mode in options which I have done and still not getting that screen option. Do I have to have my mame roms folder named something particular to get that screen to pull up? Thanks.

That does sound like a great feature for someone using a keyboard. But for someone like myself who is planning on putting LB Big Box as my frontend on my arcade cabinet and who would be using a joystick and not a keyboard, a nice feature in BB mode would be able to press right or left with the joystick on the game selection screen to jump letters in the alphabet to get to the game you want to play rather than scrolling all the way down the list. For instance if I wanted to play a game on the Sega Genesis that started with a S, instead of scrolling all the way down to get to the S's I could just press right to jump letters in the alphabet until I got to the S games or press left to go backwards in the alphabet. BTW: I have just upgraded to premium and I have been enjoying it so much and wanted to say thanks for all the work you have put into this awesome program!

I have just recently learned about this awesome frontend and am very impressed. I just currently own the free version and would love to try out premium. This seems like a great community with an awesome developer who listens to his users. Thanks for all your hard work!!
