Re: MESS softlist paths: by xml filename or datafile name?
10/30/14 09:34 PM


These have been fixed. For future reference, let me however clarify what happens internally.

1. drivers define the softlist name (e.g. "g7400")
2. the emulator looks for an xml file with the same name in one of your hashpaths (e.g. "hash/g7400.xml")
3. when asked to load one of the games of the xml list, the emulator searches the roms inside a folder with the same name as the xml file relative to one of your rompaths (e.g. "roms/g7400")

as a result, the only thing that really matters is the xml name
