      Hi all,

      I'm just about done with this xmas gift and I have just a few things to wrap up.

      I've tied my head built in scraper along with sshelphs scraper and yet my mame roms (admame 1.04) has over 3,000 games and I have over 400 with no snapshots. Is there something that I can do?

      Also, where does advmame store its game specific cfg files? I want to delete any/all game specific cfg's and just go with a default control cfg.

      I would like to set up just the PS button on the PS3 controller to exit (I am running mostly libreto cores) but I can't get around using "select" as a shift key before using the PS button.

      Thank you all, I couldn't have built this gift without all the help!

          thanks for the link, i ran it and it downloaded a ton of mame images. my xml is now updated.

          that said, emulationstation doesn't seem to be reading the new game list.xml, i'm not sure i am dropping it in the correct location. fyi, i am using advmame 1.4.

          here is a game that is in my xml file, i have the rom in the folder listed below and the image in the correct folder also, based on the below.

          i' stumped. any thoughts?

          <game id="39953" source="ScreenScraper">
          <path>/mnt/MAME106/roms/airattck.zip</path>
          <name>Air Attack</name>
          <desc>The player ships fly through a total of seven stages fighting many enemies and multiple end-level bosses. Each player ship had a semi-automatic Normal shot and Bomb Stock, appearing as a large Phoenix. Players has a total of four different weapon pick-up items to choose from. Weapon 1 is the standard Vulcan weapon, Weapon 2 is a Rapid-Fire shot, Weapon 3 is an area-effect weapon that fires in five directions, two behind the ship and Weapon 4 is a Rocket weapon. Collecting four of the same weapon pick-up allows the selected weapon to flare-out. The player ship only had one hit though and there were no Extend Bonuses.</desc>

            doesn't look right.

            please use proper code block formatting and descriptive post titles :)
