Avenger Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 There is a file, I think it is called catver for mame games that has very specific genre tags for games. Such as all the wrestling games or all the baseball games. Is there a way to use this to create playlists or filters so I can see all my wrestling games, for example? Or would I have to create the playlists manually? Thanks and sorry for creating two topics in one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 As of now you would have to create them manually. No need to apologize for making 2 post in one day as long as you aren't asking the same question twice its no big deal feel free to post any questions you may have. You will find we don't really play forum Nazis around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 There was actually a post here that had a program that did what I wanted. But the binary is gone. Did it not work anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 yeah no clue can't remember if maybe that was before we switched to the new forums and none of the images or links came across or if its missing for some other reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Okay one last question. catver is basically a file containing the category and rom file names in that category. Can I search by the rom file name in LaunchBox, click on the game and add it to a playlist? Or do I have to cross-reference the rom file name to the game name from an external source and then search for the game in LaunchBox? I'm trying to figure out how much effort it would be if I wanted to create a playlist of say baseball arcade games if I have the rom file names. Thanks.

DOS76 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 To add it to a Playlist at least to my knowledge you would have to find the game and add it manually so you would need the title not the rom name if there is another method I don't know of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
