Why mame team not to make some parametres to make them easer...? Thank you for the anwser... MrV2K Explainer in simple terms.

What it does is... 1. If theres no data it generate the xml file and compresses it down to 15mb to save space. 2. Once theres a data file it loads the data. 3. Uncompresses the xml in memory 4. Recursively parses the xml nodes and attributes pulling out the data I need into a 2D array. and all in less than 5 seconds. It took some head banging but I very pleased with the result. At the moment the whole front end loads in less than 15 seconds including loading, parsing, sorting, filtering and checking the availability of 26000 plus entries.

That is freaking amazing 5 sec... ouaou only in my dreams... The best result i get is about 3 minutes.... Ok i make the 3 and the 4 ... But how can you make the 1... this is impressive.. But the generation of the mame.xml file took about 1.5 minutes... I really take a look about your code... i know "basic" and pascal is not to far... MrV2K Explainer in simple terms.

Strangely it's a quirk with purebasic that it doesn't allow you to direct a programs output to a file with the >something.xml. What I had to do is run the mame -listxml, my program then captures mames output and writes its own file with the xml output which seems to be a bit quicker than mame doing it itself. I terms of speed I use Mame 64bit, my frontend is 64 bit and I have an i7 2600k running it. That's where the speed is coming from. Here's a bit of code that parses the xml ; Ignore anything except normal nodes. If XMLNodeType(*CurrentNode) = #PB_XML_Normal ; Add this node to the tree. Add name and attributes ; node$ = GetXMLNodeName(*CurrentNode) If ExamineXMLAttributes(*CurrentNode) While NextXMLAttribute(*CurrentNode) Attrib$ = XMLAttributeName(*CurrentNode) Attribval$ = XMLAttributeValue(*CurrentNode) If node$ = "mame" And Attrib$ ="build" And Game_Count = 0 : MAME_Version=Attribval$ : EndIf If node$ = "game" And Attrib$ = "name" : templist (Game_Count,0) = Attribval$ :Game_Count+1: EndIf If node$ = "game" And Attrib$ = "cloneof" : templist (Game_Count-1,6) = Attribval$:EndIf If node$ = "game" And Attrib$ = "sampleof" : templist (Game_Count-1,7) = Attribval$: EndIf If node$ = "game" And Attrib$ = "isbios" : templist (Game_Count-1,8) = Attribval$: EndIf If node$ = "game" And Attrib$ = "ismechanical" : templist (Game_Count-1,9) = Attribval$: EndIf If node$ = "driver" And Attrib$ = "status" : templist (Game_Count-1,5) = Attribval$ : EndIf If node$ = "display" And Attrib$ = "type" : templist (Game_Count-1,13) = Attribval$ : EndIf Wend nodeText$ + GetXMLNodeText(*CurrentNode) If node$ = "description" : templist (Game_Count-1,1) = nodeText$ : EndIf If node$ = "year" : templist (Game_Count-1,2) = nodeText$: EndIf If node$ = "manufacturer" : templist (Game_Count-1,3) = nodeText$ : EndIf If node$ = "biosset" : templist (Game_Count-1,4)="1" : EndIf EndIf ; Now get the first child node (if any) *ChildNode = ChildXMLNode(*CurrentNode) ; Loop through all available child nodes and call this procedure again ; While *ChildNode <> 0 FillTree(*ChildNode) *ChildNode = NextXMLNode(*ChildNode) Wend EndIf MrV2K "I See Dead People!" easyEmu azrael11 MAME Fan Reged: 05/01/11 Posts: 6 Send PM Re: Command Line options...

That's where the speed is coming from. This is speed compares to my Pentium 4 3ghz with 1 mb memory and very old ide hard drive hmmm... > > Here's a bit of code that parses the xml > > ; Ignore anything except normal nodes. > > If XMLNodeType(*CurrentNode) = #PB_XML_Normal > > ; Add this node to the tree.
