Dear Roman,
it seems, clrmame have problems to scan the new MESS SVN releases which have now a new listsoftware (xml) support.
clrmame fails to import sets from the -listxml output (MESS.exe -listxml) :
Set
<no description>\<no setname> wasn´t imported!
The problem might be related to the new lines
<softwarelist name="gamepock" />
<softwarelist name="bbcbc" />
which maybe clrmame cannot handle properly.
If Fabio Priuli (MESS developer) take the listxml output and convert it to a clrmame dat by using Logiqx's dutil, then this dat works perfectly with clrmame. Hence the problem seems to be in the way clrmame parses the xml file, not in the xml output.
Roman, are you interested to add support for parsing software lists? If yes, you have any suggestions?
You can check the current
discussion on the official MESS message board.
Thanks in advance.
Anna Wu
PS: You can use
bobz automatic MESS SVN builds or you compile your own build for testing.
