clrmame Discussion / Re: MESS XML import
« on: 03 September 2010, 22:13 »Hmmm...
What I have been doing is using the actual .xml files from the "hash" directory.
To sort a pile of roms I use the .XML output: "mess -listsoftware > mess_software_lists.xml" and then rebuild those rebuilt files with each individual system "XML". (Before someone asks/tells, I have too many roms spread around to do a "batch run".
Only "problem" is for the "big" XML, the profile name is "a5200"... no big deal.
Anyways, is my way of doing it wrong, meaning will I not end up with the same results?
On a side note, is "cloneof" working?
I always use the XML files from the hash/ directory also, which works great. As far as I know there is no way to import the MESS software lists directly from the MESS executable. For the MESS (The mess -listxml output) import however the recommended way is to use the direct MESS import. And that is what this thread was/is about
