MameInfo.dat's [neogeo] Games Supported section is empty

MameInfo.dat's entry for [neogeo] has the Games Supported section empty. There are no games listed under that section.
Can someone inform Mr. MASH of this mistake.

That's a MAMEUI driver problem!

Hi,
that's a MAMEUI problem in source osd\winui\datafile.c and not a
missing entry in the MAMEinfo.dat.
Perhaps Robbbert at https://github.com/Robbbert/mameui
can fixed this.

It's fine here in MAMEUIFX. I select a NeoGeo game and when I scroll down I have source code info and all the games supported listed. I have to compare my datafile.c with the one in MAMEUI.

No, I'm not talking about selecting a Neo-Geo game. I'm talking about selecting the [neogeo] BIOS. The [neogeo] doesn't list the supported games.

You have the game [mslug3h] selected. I said it doesn't show the supported games when the BIOS [neogeo] is selected... you have a game selected, not the BIOS [neogeo]...
Click on the BIOS folder on the left panel. But don't open it's subcategories. Just click on the BIOS folder and then click on the Neo-Geo [neogeo] on the middle panel. The Description is Neo-Geo. The ROM Name is neogeo. The Year is 1990. The Manufacturer is SNK. etc...
Do ya understand now?... or do I have to come over there and smarten you up

Yes I can confirm and found the cause:
Code:
strcat(buffer,"\nGAMES SUPPORTED:\n");
for (i = 0; i < driver_list::total(); i++)
{
if (!strcmp (drv->source_file + 32, driver_list::driver(i).source_file + 32)
&& !(driver_list::driver(i).flags & GAME_IS_BIOS_ROOT))<--- check
{
strcat(buffer, driver_list::driver(i).description);
strcat(buffer,"\n");
}
}
We check if the game is a BIOS here. I have to verify this.

After a bit of investigation I found the real cause. MASH source and file is ok and is ok our datafile.c too. The problem lies in MAME core:
- NEOGEO.C contains NEOGEO bios and stop.
- NEOGEO_NOSLOT.C contains NEOGEO games.
Usually in MAME the BIOS and the games that uses it are in the same driver so our code work. NEOGEO is different, if you select a NeoGeo game you're on neogeo_noslot.c and have the list of games supported. If you select NeoGeo BIOS you're on neogeo.c which doesn't contains any games in it. I don't know if it's cleat which is the culprit here and maybe MASH can fix it his datafile, making NeoGeo BIOS pointing to neogeo_noslot.c... I don't know if it's doable or not.
EDIT: Nope, because we check for neogeo BIOS the entry "neogeo_noslot.c" with core entry "neogeo.c" and since the condition is FALSE, we don't display anything in the section. There's no fix for this issue I guess. Boh.
