I used to just grab the latest and greatest MAME dat file from Logiqx's website, as I used them for the Maximus Arcade front end. Where else can I get a dat file? I just finished a compile/clrmamepro procedure for .140. All is well. Just need a dat file to update my game list for Maximus Arcade. How can I do this if I can't get Logiqx's dat file? Thanks, Jason redk9258 Regular Reged: 09/21/03 Posts: 3968 Loc: Troy, Illinois USA Send PM Re: Logiqx MAME Dat files [Re: yoeddy] #237299 - 10/25/10 07:19 AM Reply Why not just get an xml file from MAME then convert it using DatUtil from Logiqx? MAME -LISTXML >temp.xml For old style dats.. datutil -s -o [NAME].dat -f listinfo temp.xml For xml style.. datutil -s -o [NAME].xml -f listxml temp.xml Edited by redk9258 (10/25/10 07:26 AM) yoeddy Sound perfectionist Reged: 12/27/03 Posts: 239 Loc: Boise, Idaho Send PM Re: Logiqx MAME Dat files [Re: redk9258] #237303 - 10/25/10 08:21 AM Reply Hmmm...not sure what the issue is. I ran your syntax and created the temporary xml and then ran datutil to produce a .dat file and also the other method of the xml file. I then tried to zip up and test both file types using winzip. If I use the .dat file and point MA to it, I get an "out of range" error. The xml format isn't supported in MA. I went back to Logiqx's last available zip file of .138 and it works just fine. I do use MAME 64 bit since I have a C2D in my system. Any other ideas? Thanks again for the help.

This will export the currently loaded data to a datfile...however this is the 'clean' version, i.e. common datfile errors are fixed during import... (cmpro.ini setting "Adv_DatFormatXML = on" switched between xml and old format) redk9258 Regular Reged: 09/21/03 Posts: 3968 Loc: Troy, Illinois USA Send PM Re: Logiqx MAME Dat files [Re: Roman] #237340 - 10/25/10 05:55 PM Reply Hey Roman, does that setting only affect dat file output?

Thanks again for your help! Jason Pages: 1
