MAME Software List Command-Line Settings for all systems.

[ci2own]

I spent a lot of time importing most of the known computers from MAME Software Lists to my LaunchBox, and i would like to share all the collected info on an excel sheet and help saving time to other people.

Feel free to comment if something wrong, or if want to add a missing system.

I didn't add the systems with just Operating Systems, System Utilities, etc. on the romset.

If someone have more info and wants to share, i'll be happy to include it to this document.

 

I would like to give credits to all the internet community

Extremely helpful! Thank you for sharing! I've started this thread for sharing autoboot commands. Check it out, maybe there is something in there you can use =).

By the way, have you figured out an easy / automated way to sort the actual games from software in mame SL folders? When importing mame SL collections, there are always so many non-games that it makes browsing and launching games not fun at all.

Thanks! I've seen a few posts talking about the same, but i wanted to put together all possible command-line for "computers". I also checked your thread and used it to setup my systems .

Also i found the attached txt file in progettoemma, which has very good info too  (though not always work probably because of the mame/roms version and updates).

Regarding a way to sort only games from mame software lists, i guess there's no easy automated way. You may want to check in No-Intro Romsets. I guess they're more about games than software and probably are the same files with the "Right Name".

Anyway you got the Launchbox Custom command for MTX512, TI 99/4a and Mac OS? This is a big time saver, Thank you!

For Texas TI 99 --> ti99_4 -cart

For Memotech --> mtx512 -autoboot_delay 2 -autoboot_command "LOAD """"""\n" -cass

For the TI-99/4A I use the Default Command-Line Parameters
ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot2 32kmem -ioport:peb:slot3 speechadapter -cart

With proper softlist emulation (Remove file extension and folder path box enabled), the cart parameter can be dropped.

To skip the intro screen and also auto-select the game option at the TI BASIC or game options screen you can use the expanded parameters
ti99_4a -autoboot_delay 1 -ab \n\n\x32\n -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot2 32kmem -ioport:peb:slot3 speechadapter -cart

Increase the -autoboot_delay value if you prefer a longer look at the intro screen.
To get a longer look at the choose TI BASIC or game screen add more \n entries.
