Or at least it was this way last i checked, maybe the database has now the split sets minus the bios files.ĭoesn't look like it though, from the example names of the games that don't scan. And then to add annoyance, the non-us language versions probably don't have images.Īnd in a merged set i dunno, but maybe the MAME inbuilt interface has a option to boot the other version other than the main one. On the other hand if you want to scan foreign language version roms in a split set, you need to not filter the roms in the manual scanner and simply scan for zip extensions, and then you need to laboriously and manually delete from the playlist all the zip roms which you don't care about 'naomi', etc etc. Manual scan only works 'almost always' in arcade mame (if you ask for name validation to filter out the bioses) by a accident of fate where mame organized the split romsets (what RA doesn't have in the database) and the merged romsets (what RA has in the database) to have the same main game name and the main game being the last or 'best' english version, when there is a english version.Īnd it's also why all the bios gunk you're forced to have in the same directory as the game data will not appear on a scan of a split set that only contains the 'main games' + the bios and hardware definition files.īasically if you have a split set and only care about the main version, you're ok, because the manual scanner only cares about the names being correct (if you ask to validate names in the rdb), which are the same, so it associates the images and metadata. I could be wrong, but I think the Arcade dat needs to be done with "Manual Scan"? I am likely wrong on this though.
