I need help creating Arcade "gamelist.xml", filtering games by genre

<< < (2/4) > >>

dink:
Could you link the mame file before it had been converted?

Good morning.

I created those XMLs with Mame XML Full List Generator:

http://r0man0.free.fr/index.php/download-mame-xml-lists-and-generator/

It generates the files from MAME exe file.
I didn't modify those files, I just used them to generate the include txt game lists.

I tried to do something similar with FB Neo since you can filter the games by genre, manufacturer, etc, in the game selection menu.

Here's the web where I found the outdated lists:

I attach a game include txt list for reference.

Have a great week ;).

I'm comparing mame's -listxml with fbneo's arcade dat file, and neither of them have a genre tag, so there must be something else to this.  Hmm

Exactly, you can only generate xml files from Mame with Genre info with Mame Xml Full List Generator.

Since FBNeo already allows to choose games through genre in the game selection menu, maybe a xml file can be generated with that info?. Maybe there is a list in another format in the source files?.

Thanks in advance ;).

dink:
Couldn't you use the fbneo dat file(s) with this MAME xml list generator app?
fbneo dat file are the xml files, they're just named .dat for historical reasons that I don't quite understand

best regards,
