Category.ini and Version.ini 0.171
#350742 - 02/27/16 12:24 AM


Ready and available the packages containing the files:

- Version.ini ( + 'mess.ini' and 'arcade.ini')
- Category.ini

aligned to the 0.171 MAME version.
Also with regard to these files, the time has come to merge also my project: extended "category.ini" and "version.ini" to all the emulated machines; removed the files "category_full.ini" and "version_full.ini". In "category.ini" it has eliminated the generic category "Arcade, Fruit Machine, Pinball" and added all the sub-categories (coming directly from CatVer).

You can download inside the new renameSET.dat package, or separately at the same web page.

Category_home.ini was extremely useful in identifying the non-arcade (originally MESS) systems. These systems appear as a separate list in my front-end because they require a sub-list and they use different command options. Do you have another list that identifies these?

Thanks for the update.

>> 2016/02/24: Removed (category_home.ini) file

Emu Loader won't be able to filter out non-arcade machines without category_home.ini
oh well... life, moving on.

You could always keep improving EmuLoader's handling and configuration of non-arcade machines

Ok, it could be useful, but I work very complicated!
You can still continue to use the provided "mess.ini" to filter the ex-MESS machines... can be found in version.ini package.

I simply don't have the time to update a list of non-arcade machine.
Life goes on...

One question: will arcade.ini or mess.ini always be updated or you plan to remove them at some point ?
I can use mess.ini to filter out non-arcade machines.

This file will work great, thank you. Will you continue to update this file?

Cool, thank you. I'll change the frontend to use mess.ini instead of category_home.ini.

Change completed. Also, EL will favor category.ini and version.ini files instead of catver.ini. EL will still support catver.ini though.

Thank you for your continuous updates.
