Hmm. I have thought along similar lines. Presently I have organized my maybe 4-500 games into six subdirectories, which works kinda OK.
But there are several quite good MAME front-ends out there. What I thought about trying (but haven't got around to as usual :) was to start an external MAME front-end instead of the MAME front-end in Freevo. Then again, most front-ends I've tried have had a lot of quirky dependencies and since sorting and stuff would be too hard on the existing front-end.. hmm.. I suppose I stand neutral on the subject then :) Oh, one more thing; I have _never_ _ever_ gotten icons/screens to work with the freevo MAME front-end. And not for any other game types either. Is there a trick to naming or filetypes? /PS -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: 2004-01-04 18:38 Ämne: [Freevo-devel] MAME games sorting As Freevo 1.4 seems stable, i want to introduce a new features for the management of MAME games in 1.5. Here is my problem : 1 - I have more than 1600 games in my MAME folder 2 - Even with the name and the snapshot, it is difficult to parse all the files in order to find the desired game So my idea is to use some external parameters to sort the games with the following menus : MAME games by year | |-> 1980 |-> 1981 |-> ... |-> 2002 MAME games by genre |-> Arcade |-> Platform |-> ... |-> Puzzle Of course, the submenus (year and genre) are automatically generated by parsing the MAME folders AND the history.dat file (found at http://fandemame.emu-france.com/) But i don't know how to use the mediamenu in this case. Do you have any ideas about that kind of sorting ?? Regards, Sylvain ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
