History.dat 1.74b

History.dat 1.74b extracted from arcade-history.com

WHAT's NEW:
- to7_qd, to7_cass, mo5_cass, mo5_cart and to7_cart softlists entries added.
- About mo5_cass and to7_cass: Sometimes, a double cassette is used (MO5 + TO7 version on the same cassette). In this case, I'm using $to7_cass,mo5_cass=romname,

There is three types of configuration for these cassettes:

$to7_cass=romname, (for standalone TO7 cassette)
$mo5_cass=romname, (for standalone MO5 cassette)
$to7_cass,mo5_cass=romname, (for TO7/MO5 double faces cassette)

It works fine in QMC2 but for some reason not in MAME.

EXAMPLE:

here is the TO7/MO5 AIR ATTACK entry in the history.dat :


Quote:


$to7_cass,mo5_cass=aattack,aattacka,aattackb,aattackc,
$bio

Air Attack (c) 1985 Microids.

- TECHNICAL -

FACE A: T07
FACE B: MO5

$end




In MAME, if you browse the TO7 softlist, you'll see the AIR ATTACK cassette information from the history.dat in the Info tab,
But if you try to browse the MO5 softlist version of AIR ATTACK, the history.dat information is not shown.

if a MAMEdev. can take a look at this problem and fix it... Thanks in advance

Excellent, thank you Alexis!
I'm working on a little parser to help you out

You got a new email as well
My parser should now be able to return all missing entries and export individual missing lists based on the Software Lists. That should help you a bit

I will build a GUI, compile it and send you the little program, so you can run it every time you want to check what's still missing in history.dat that's present in the latest Mame XML/Hash XML files. It generates all missing lists (over 500 of them) in a little more than 10 seconds. You should have it in a few days.

Cheers!
