Hello,
i updated my Mameui64 to 0.169 after that i updated all the files gameex is looking for in its mame settings in the data folder (F:\GameEx/DATA/).
There i updated Category.ini, catver.ini, Control.ini, history.dat, nplayers.ini, mameinfo.dat to 0.169
then i update my gameslist in gameex
the games from the first to the 1242 game has now a category displayed so "mermaid" as the 1242 game in the list is labeled as " Sports / Misc. " but the next one "metafox" (nr. 1243), has not a category ( must be " Shooter / Flying Vertical ") and from there on until my 2526 game ,as the last rom, are not giving categories. so half of the games from "metafox" on don't have a category
how is that possible? what have i done wrong? why is game ex stopping in the middle with labeling the games with categories?
the catver.ini looks like this at the point of break (without the red and bold and italic of course):
mermaid=Sports / Misc.
merryjn=Casino / Reels
mes=Laptop / Notebook / Portable
messimg_disk_image=System / Device
metafox=Shooter / Flying Vertical
metalb=Shooter / Flying Horizontal
metalbj=Shooter / Flying Horizontal
metalman=Electromechanical / Pinball
metalmx=Driving / Race (chase view)
metamaq2=3D Printer
metamrph=Fighter / 2.5D
metamrphj=Fighter / 2.5D
metamrphu=Fighter / 2.5D
meteor=Shooter / Field
meteorho=Shooter / Field
meteorp=Electromechanical / Pinball
meteors=Shooter / Field
Please help me, without categories its very bad to have a huge mame rom collection and no possibility to sort it :-(
Thanks
