CPWizard - No games to preview - need help

Banditt · June 11, 2020

New load of Mame .220 x64, New install of CPWizard

I load Mame, have the right rom folder, have a mame.ini file - can play games through Mame.

In CPWizard, I select the mame64.exe file and it says loading data, but when I go to preview there are no games there to preview.

Any help would be appreciated. I can't figure it out.

delete all the periods under Edit > Options > MAME Filters > Description Excludes.

My CPWizard is version 2.67 and by default that field looked like, ". . . . . . . . . ." By leaving it blank, everything showed up. I also had dynamic loading checked so it could refresh the list.

You are a scholar. How is this not everywhere? How is it not the first line in the setup guide (Watch, it's there but I missed it)

Thank you VERY much. Worked perfectly!
