Any assumption like "got softwarelists" won't lead to anything useful....
I know it's a dirty hack, but It works pretty well and no arcade games were excluded as far as I could see. I even made Emu Loader generate a .txt file with all machines excluded from the list, so anyone can check it for themselves and make sure no arcade machines were left out.
But there are lots of console/computer entries still being added. Without some kind of "systemtype" tag in -listxml output, it will be impossible to filter non-arcade machines.
This is a temporary solution until MAME have a tag like the one above to categorize machine entries in -listxml...
I've just removed this from my frontend. EL will list all MESS drives, even if you can't run anything with them.
I'll probably make no further efforts to hide MESS machines.
