Wait. You're running xml2info on the mameinfo.xml file, and it's taking
5 seconds to get your output?
If so, you could split mameinfo.xml into smaller chunks - either one per
letter, or put each game's info in a separate xml file. Or use an
intermediate program to weed out the entry/ies you're actually
interested in.
The problem with using xslt to display a single entry in an xml file is
that you have to parse the entire file every time.

Hi,
I'm trying to create my own frontend and stepped over XML and
XSLT...
It all began when I tried to extract the beautiful informations
of mamehistory.dat. Due to the fact that I'm not willing to
parse this file, I found the option to generate a XML file with
xmame just by typing:
xmame.x11 -lx > mameinfo.xml
it results in a _35_ MB file!
So I poked a bit in the net and found a xslt version of xml2info.
According to this, I wrote some lines to get out the history
information of puckman.
But sad thing, it takes nearly 5 secounds - much too long for a
interactive frontend/menu.
A fast feature like:
xmame.x11 -givemehistory puckman
would be very nice.
Should I dig into the source or is there a better way to get
faster results?
Maybe someone here can help me.
