MAMEUI64 Available list
#378921 - 10/09/18 03:07 PM


Hi,

I was wondering where MAMEUI64 stores the 'Available' list, which gets generated after doing 'Refresh roms'. (at the left, just below 'All Systems')

I usually copy my whole MAMEUI64 directory to an offline PC, but I noticed this Available list is empty after running MAMEUI64 on the second PC (to which I copied the MAMEUI64 directory).

So I wanted to know in which file (or where) that list is stored on the hard drive.

Are you sure MAME_g.ini stores the game names you have the ROMs sets for (so the 'Available' list)?

I loaded that file in an editor and it contains all game names in the current MAME version I think.
Also this line 'YOU CAN SAFELY DELETE THIS FILE TO RESET THE GAME STATS.' tells me it stores the game stats for each game.

Based on those things I saw, I think MAME_g.ini is not the 'Available' list of MAMEUI or there is something I don't understand...

Please explain?

So why does my Available list stay empty after copying my whole mameui directory to another PC? (See first question)
