myPrograms & Mame (1 Viewer)

[bug]

any news of a solution or workaround for this problem yet?

I haven't tried Mame or My Programs with MP yet, but just reaching in the dark...you're sure its not related to the fact that you running off a mapped drive right?

Just fwiw. (Discussion here about the mapped drives not working until accessed manually via Windows Explorer. http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2241)

It doesn't seem to be related to mapped drives. I have copied some of the roms to a local folder and tried to update from there, but the result is the same, empty list.

Hi guys,

Too busy to fix the bug, but things I found out:

* The problem is that the commandline parameters doesn't work anymore(?) as expected:

The importer uses the following mame-switches to build lists of supported games / of available games:

mame32 -listfull
mame32 -listfull -noclones

mame32 -listgames
mame32 -listgames -noclones

These switches only work in the commandline version of mame, mame32 (the standard windows frontend) doesn't treat them (anymore?).

Sorry to have too little time to fix that, it will be better in two weeks :?

Cheers,

Daniel

ok, I've fixed the mame importer!

Don't forget to remove the "-skip_disclaimer" argument, as this is not supported anymore by mame.

Please tell me if it works!

Cheers,

Daniel

Where can we download the last version of the myProgram plugin ? I've got the same issue and can not create my db list.

Also, I've got another problem with myProgram : the "Delete" button doesn't work for me : To trash a program, I have to remove the database file :/ Any tip ?

Ok, I've found topics about delete issue and I suppose that new dll is only available with cvs version :s Sad

yeah, the new dll is only available in cvs, cause the mame plugin had to be reworked. The Mame team decided that the commandline switches I've used are obsolete so my importer didn't work anymore. Things like this always happen and there's no way to "fix this in advance".

For the "delete-bug" in 0.1.3.0:
You can safely do a "drop trigger td_application;" on a 0.1.3.0 myPrograms database, which fixes the bug. If you don't know what this is, then you'll either need to use the cvs version or wait for a new release.

Regards,

Daniel
