How to fix the hash loading issue on the newer 0.172 beta.
#351269 - 03/07/16 08:34 PM


mame.ini > rompath roms;softwarelist\nes;softwarelist\nes_ade;softwarelist\nes_datach;softwarelist\nes_kstudio;softwarelist\nes_ntbrom < Working.

nes.ini > rompath roms;softwarelist\nes;softwarelist\nes_ade;softwarelist\nes_datach;softwarelist\nes_kstudio;softwarelist\nes_ntbrom < Won't work.

You have to move all the ROM's paths over onto the mame.ini in order to work. This is the way it been done now. Don't ask me why.

Other wise it still working with the command on the old way. > mame64 nes

Anyway giving some heads up about the changes.

I can't figure out why you'd need a different rompath in nes.ini compared to mame.ini when mame.ini supports up to 150 different paths (I think)

Long time ago. You couldn't put all the ROM's paths on there. Be way too many to load up all at once. It just load some of it back then. Others would be skip on loading. Which is why I was doing it the other way around so the paths can be loaded a lot cleaner. There was a limited back then on loading the paths. That is how come there so many ini files so the paths won't be over loaded.

What you saying is that it can be done. I didn't know it can be done now. Starting doing this way today.

Anyway. Works fine with the 0.170 and below on the nes.ini and others. Just won't work on the 0.171 and up. Been change.

I do have 61 ROM's paths. 1 MAME/MESS ROM's path and 60 softwarelist ROM's paths.


Code:


rompath roms;softwarelist\32x;softwarelist\a800;softwarelist\a800_flop;softwarelist\a2600;softwarelist\a2600_cass;softwarelist\a5200;softwarelist\a7800;softwarelist\cpc_cass;softwarelist\cpc_flop;softwarelist\famicom_cass;softwarelist\famicom_flop;softwarelist\gameboy;softwarelist\gamecom;softwarelist\gamegear;softwarelist\gba;softwarelist\gbcolor;softwarelist\gp32;softwarelist\megadriv;softwarelist\msx1_cart;softwarelist\msx1_cass;softwarelist\msx1_flop;softwarelist\msx2_cart;softwarelist\msx2_cass;softwarelist\msx2_flop;softwarelist\msx2p_flop;softwarelist\msxr_flop;softwarelist\n64;softwarelist\n64dd;softwarelist\neocd;softwarelist\neogeo;softwarelist\nes;softwarelist\nes_ade;softwarelist\nes_datach;softwarelist\nes_kstudio;softwarelist\nes_ntbrom;softwarelist\ngp;softwarelist\ngpc;softwarelist\pce;softwarelist\pcecd;softwarelist\pokemini;softwarelist\pv1000;softwarelist\pv2000;softwarelist\sat_cart;softwarelist\sc3000_cart;softwarelist\sc3000_cass;softwarelist\scv;softwarelist\sg1000;softwarelist\sgx;softwarelist\sms;softwarelist\snes;softwarelist\snes_bspack;softwarelist\snes_strom;softwarelist\snes_vkun;softwarelist\tg16;softwarelist\vboy;softwarelist\vectrex;softwarelist\wscolor;softwarelist\wswan;softwarelist\x68k_flop



I guest there other settings might been change as well.

OMG...

No need for all these paths.

Exactly no need for all those paths. Here's what mine looks like.

Rom path.

E:\Roms\Mame;E:\Roms\MAME CHDs;E:\Roms\MAME Software Lists ROMS;E:\Roms\Mame Software List CHDs

I didn't know that guys. I felt much better than worrying about all those paths now. Case closed. Thanks for letting me know.

I think MAME search for games in a sub-folders with the same name as the software list name, so, you can set only this in your mame.ini:

d:\mame\roms;c:\emulator\mame\softwarelist

and run a Atari 2600 game, asteroids.

mame64.exe a2600 asteroids

MAME will search for asteroids.zip in the above folders but also in (no need to set these in mame.ini):

d:\mame\roms\a2600\
c:\emulator\mame\softwarelist\a2600\


But I don't think MAME supports recursive folders search... any sub-folder inside the folders you set in mame.ini.
For frontend writers that do games auditing inside the frontend (me included), this would be a nightmare to support.
