gameboy artwork error
#386494 - 05/28/20 05:14 PM


Hi!

I'm using the hydef mame artwork with mame 221 and as I try to boot the gameboy skin mame return this error:


Code:

mame64 gameboy tetris
Improperly formatted XML file 'default', ignoring
Improperly formatted XML file 'default', ignoring



The default.lay file looks pretty standard and ok to me but somehow mame doesn't like it and it doesn't show what is wrong with it either.

is there something I can do about it?

Something in the current view is referencing an element that is not defined earlier in the file.

Not sure which file you used... he's got five different ones posted there. Post your file here, I can look at it and should be able to fix it for you.




RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

Line 17

Where it says: <element ref="Backdrop">

Change it to: <element ref="Backdrop1">

The different elements defined in the file are called Backdrop1, Backdrop2, Backdrop3, and Unit. That line is referencing an element "Backdrop" that doesn't exist (should have been Backdrop1).

That should fix it.




RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
