Fursphere Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Something I've noticed for awhile is when I update my MAME set, and then in Launchbox scan for new games - it never finds any new ones. How does Launchbox actually generate the MAME game list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Launchbox actually generate the MAME game list? Launchbox is using a older MAME game list, that's why you see no new games added. It does really need updating though.

Fursphere Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Must be pretty old then. I update almost every version, and I haven't seen a new game added in a long time. Not that thats a bad thing.. MAME is mostly about the classics. The interface (and options to handle clones, slot machines, etc) made me thing it was using ROMlister in some fashion, which in turn uses the MAME.EXE -LISTXML file dump. So.. how do we go about getting this list refreshed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to actually be coded into Launchbox, you can't just drop a newer list into a folder unfortunately. Jason needs to actually add a newer version to the program on his end.

Fursphere Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Ah. So really it needs an overhaul to be abstracted from the code - so the end users can maintain thier own lists. #FeatureRequest Edited October 28, 2017 by Fursphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
