mccorkled Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Does anyone have a MAME database that doesn't include all the BS? I have one from HS that contains 3049 games that claimed to have removed all the garbage but as I scroll through I still see Chinese, Japanese, bootlegs, etc. I don't need 35,000 roms including clones and clones of clones that were cloned once by a clone. Does anyone have a CLEAN upto date-ish MAME database that just has arcade games? I would like to get MAME setup finally but sorting an enormous xml and romset has me thinking I made a mistake again.

phulshof Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Did you grab mine by chance? I've provided MAME 0.205 XML files with multiple different filters for you to use, including filters on Mahjong, quiz games, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I seem to be having is that even with mahjong, quiz, and adult type games out there is always a few lingerers like pinball and fruit machine, etc. Ideally I would like a separate mame setup for fruit machine and gambling games so all of my drunk friends can lose money at my bar mwhahaha. I have to pay for these beers somehow amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccorkled Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Is the Quote mame_no_casino_clones_mahjong_mature_quiz_electro_utilities_playchoice.xml the one with the most of the debris out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccorkled Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Mature game such as? From my experience they are always lame card games. What tool do you use to sort roms? I typically use Don's but when I try to with my 35,000 roms it crashes every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccorkled Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Cool, thanks guys. I got the non-merged set from PD but it is missing these and I cannot find the non-merged roms anywhere. Also, is there a place to get all the real bezels and marquees for the databases you make? I can't seem to find any. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 For MAME? There's a bezel pack on the FTP in my RetroFE Media Pack directory, under emulators/MAME/artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the wheels for those too? The HS ones are a mess. I also noticed that your MAME xml has a lot of Euro instead of USA, Set 1 instead of 2, 3, or 4, etc. Is this normal? Forgive my ignorance but I am new to MAME and would just like an easy setup and to play. Unfortunatly I feel like this is not possible since I have been setting up HS console systems for nearly 8 years now. Thanks/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use RetroFE, and RetroFE doesn't need them to set up such collections. Most of the parent roms are from the Euro region, and the same goes for set 1. If you want the others as well, you need to grab one of the XML files that doesn't filter the clones out. I honestly can't help you with HyperSpin; it's just not my front-end.

I appreciate any info. Do you know why my games would be displaying off center in the bezels? What's the difference between a bezel and a background? I download some pack (maybe the one you said was on the ftp) and it has both and I have no idea why. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I download some pack (maybe the one you said was on the ftp) and it has both and I have no idea why. In general, backgrounds are what's displayed behind the game while bezels are displayed in front of the game (like the plastic bezels that used to surround the monitors). I'm not sure why it would show off-center; I'd have to see the actual bezel you used. Does it use a .ini or a .lay file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the problem then. I'm not familiar with how RL handles bezels though, so I won't be much help on that. Try a new thread to get some answers there?

I’m really trying to get my make setup done without it taking nearly 10 years like my console setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could extract them from there, and then convert them to RL format if you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorkled Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Convert them how? What file type does RL use? I honestly don't care how it works as long as it works, but it's been a real struggle so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phulshof Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Well, the simple solution to grab my pack, and use MAME to display them or grab one of the RL packs from the upload directory, and let RL display them. I've never used RL, so I honestly don't know what they're format looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
