Hi Tafoid,

Apologies if I sound ignorant, but I use the Maximus Arcade front end with MAME. Within MA there is a Dat option where I can browse to the latest dat file that corresponds to the build that I have. Same thing with catver.ini. I exported one from clrmamepro with the latest build, but whenever I do this, the .dat file that I created has a funky game list. If I use the one that Logiqx creates, my game list is fine. I thought this file was what was needed to create the game list in my front end.

Maybe I'm misusing the file.

Thanks,
Jason
