Are you going to provide a ClrMAME WWW mode file for the merged sets? Do you want one of us to throw one together quickly for you to post?

wow. This page is awesome. May I use it as the "Internet Game Info" for my frontend ?
I already do this for MAME. It would be nice to have it also for software list games.

This is the direct link I will access. If that's the the right one, correct me.

Yeah, it's pretty cool, though I prefer the look/feel of standard Progetto EMMA for some reason.

It's actually developed by etabeta78, though he had help from s_bastian of Progetto EMMA and AntoPISA is a main contributor.

One thing he should add now is history.dat view support since Alexis has added MESS games to history.dat

AntoPISA,

Lots of great new stuff here especially with all the handheld assets - nice work!

A few comments and suggestions for your consideration:

  • Your combined "cabinets" datfile should also include "devices" from the non-coinop (MESS) side - otherwise they are totally missed. Come to think of it, perhaps you'd consider dropping the individual "cabinets" and "devices" collections anyway, since you already have "cabdevs"?

  • Now that "messinfo" offers the same information as "mameinfo", would you and MASH consider merging your work together under a single "mameinfo" thereafter updated by one of you?

  • Along the same lines, would you consider offering a combined artwork datfile which would include Mr. Do's coin-op artwork in addition to your MESS artwork? Ideally one of you could maintain a combined collection, but that assumes willingness so I'm not sure how "Do"able that would be (couldn't resist).

  • You might consider removing some of your dats from their current scattered locations to avoid confusion. As you know, currently in MAME cases they are offered as a separate download on the assets page (but not in the zips), while in MESS cases they are contained in the asset zips AND on the page. Since you can now get them on a standalone "dat" page I'm not sure why any of the others are needed? This might lead to problems especially in the case of MESS assets - if the user doesn't remember to delete the dats within the asset zips, and uses them to scan against combined assets, they could end up deleting all the MAME assets.

  • In the event your consolidation effort was scoped around datfiles exclusively (thanks again), you might also consider a page with the actual combined assets. The need to keep MAME and MESS assets separated is going to become less important over time as I'm sure you realize. Up to you!

  • In your consolidated datfiles, consider using the XML tag machine name="asset" rather than game name="asset" as consistent with MAME's new taxonomy.

Thanks again for the awesome work.

Just trying to reconcile a few issues with the MESS ClrMAME WWW file:

1. The DATs page specifies the latest MESS Samples file is 156, but the WWW mode file points to 157. Which is correct?

2. The DATs page specifies the latest MESS Artworks file is 161, but the WWW mode file points to 157. Which is correct?

3. The WW mode file points to www.progettosnaps.net/dats/cmdats/pS_MESS_ArtworkPreview_20150617_(cm).dat.zip, where I believe that the ".dat" portion was unintended.

Thanks again for all of your work.
