I know that theres a lot i dont understand concerning mame in general, so im sorry bout my noob statements.:-).Hi im running the latest Mame, and Gameex Arcade (as of 07122016), i was wondering if there is a way to make updating games list faster, it takes forever and seems to tjek up to or over 6000 titles, even when i only have to roms in my rom folder.Is it possible to edit some list (xml) file or something to speed up this process.The reason is i would like to quickly test if new roms are recognised and working in gameex, i know i can test the roms with mamegui or mame, but thats does not verify if gameex recognises and are able to run the game (in my very short experience).
I know im supposed to attach my ini and log files, but since this is a general issue not applicable to a certain version, i choose not to do this. The verify is forced in GameEx Arcade to keep options simple and also because GameEx needs to know if games are fully working and not just best available. Headkaze has developed a better solution for GameEx Evolution and maybe I can utilize that in the future. Mame Romset Update The GamesSp just to clarify, my original question, theres not much difference, in the time it takes to update the games list, when i have 700 Roms in my folder to when i have only 2 roms in folder, is this correct for the current version. Again we have a faster routine for Evo which can hopefully make it into regular GameEx later. Btw. it is faster with only 2 roms, but it still takes something like 15-39 minuttes to complete. One other tip. Use a version of MAME compiled as arcade only. I used GameEX Arcade Edition with baseline MAME 0.180 from mamedev.org and the update list only took about 5 minutes here on my end. That seems very fast indeed, its the same setup here though, so not sure why yours is so fast. Mame Romset .Exe Or Mame0180B64BitWhat do you mean by baseline, on the newest releases dl page in can choose between mame0180b32bit.exe or mame0180b64bit.exe, on the previous releases page, the latest version is 1.79. AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core 3.81GHz (standard) 2 x 120GB SSD 16GB RAM Geforce GTX 1060 (3GB) Windows 10 64bit. After 5 minuttes its at 25 reading listinfo.dat there are 2 roms in the roms folder, nothing else have been copied to Mame or Gameex folders. But I wont. Just turn it off, go back and hit Update List, wait a bit. As Tom has stated you cant turn verify off with Arcade Edition. Anyway, after some thinking on this, Ive reached this conclusion. My MAME romset and CHDs are 100 complete with everything properly named as MAME expects. Im assuming here that this helps during the verify operation as it checks or run commands, sees that everything is correct, then moves on very quickly. The main thing I have found that affects the speed of the MAME verify is storage speed. If the files are on a good local disk, yes you can do it in 5-10 mins. Ahh. Thx. i had tried regular gameex but not sure if i had disabled verify, not sure ill, ever understand what ClrMAMEpro is, but im allready somewhat closer to getting my problem solved, thx. Ive setup a very nice and perfectly smooth PinballX system, guess i was hoping the Arcade setup would be as easy.:-).
