Trying to parse the MAME XML file
01/06/19 11:47 PM

I'm trying to parse the XML file, and I'd need some help figuring out the structure.

If I want to get a list of CHD games, should I look for this:
<device type="harddisk">

What about this:
<device type="cdrom">

I presume that's not right, because grabbing the list of those 2 does not get me the whole CHD list that MAMEUI gives.

Likewise, if I want to find multi-monitor ROMs, should I count instances of this:
<device_ref name="screen"/>

And if I don't find any instances, does it mean it's a mechanical game?

Thanks!
