Final Burn Neo > FBN Discussion
I need help creating Arcade "gamelist.xml", filtering games by genre
Whipon:
Greetings:
I have two custom arcade cabs with the RetroFE frontend.
I'm setting up the frontend to add FB Neo to the menu.
I managed to convert the FBNeo dat to XML so game names are shown instead of rom names.
However, the arcade games list has 7238 games.
So I want to filter them by genre.
RetroFE include txt files are just a list with the desired games rom names.
I couldn't find any info regarding how to create these lists.
For example with MAME I can do it with MAME XML Full List Generator.
I can't do it with FBNeo because it doesn't support -listxml.
So I don't know how to generate the XML files I need.
I found some lists through Google from 2020 that are currently outdated. More than 900 games avalaible in latest rom set are missing from them.
I'll really appreciate any info.
Have a nice week.
Whipon.

Hi,
You could use the latest windows ui version to generate the game lists, under the "Misc -> Generate Dat FileS"

Hello, Dink.
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I already did that, but the resulting DAT file contains all the Arcade games without any genre info.
So I can't filter them.
I tried with both January 9 and January 15 X64 releases.
I didn't find any way to generate separated dat files by genre.
Regards ;).

Could you link me a file which has genre info? I need to see how it is supposed to look in order to possibly implement it.

Excellent!.
I have attached 3 files, Fighter.xml and MAME.xml are both from MAME, first one are fighter games, second one has all MAME games.
FB Neo.xml is the FB Neo dat converted from dat to xml, with rom info nodes removed.
Regards ;).
