The updated category/genre/version ini files for usage with QMC2, MAMEUI and other frontends are finally ready, thanks to the work of Scuore and Swos

As promised this new release features a re-organization of Casino and Electromechanical Categories... First of all, you can say goodbye to "Electromechanical - PinMAME" and "Fruit Machines": we now have
Quote:
Electromechanical / Coin pusher Electromechanical / Pinball Electromechanical / Reel Electromechanical / Utilities Electromechanical / Misc.
Most previous Electromechanical games are now in Electromechanical / Pinball, while Fruit Machines have been split among Electromechanical / Reels (the ones which have mechanical reels) and Casino / Reels (the ones which have video reels). The Utilities category is for test chips for Electromechanical boards, of course...
Concerning Casino category, instead, we added some Categories to better identify which kind of game they are
Quote:
Casino / Cards Casino / Lottery Casino / Racing Casino / Reels Casino / Roulette Casino / Multiplay
Cards is not only for card-based poker games, but also for poker versions with guitars, cubes, cans, etc., because it's always the same game; Lottery is for all the various Keno, Bingo and Lotto games; Multiplay finally is for games which feature both card games and dice games or fruit machines
Finally, we added a few more categories: Print Club (pretty much self-explanatory), Multi-cart Board (for those BIOS which can be launched with various carts inserted: Neo-Geo, ST-V and MultiTech already, and probably Playchoice-10 in a few months) and the categories Utilities / Update and Utilities / Test for the various Installer, Updater and Test boards that are emulated by MAME.
Have fun!
