Glad to see that it's finally working!
Once in mGalaxy, call the 'Preferences' window and check 'Available Only' button!

thank you so much for the video, it works now! But I have one last question. how do i filter the data base just so it shows the roms i have (which is around 600). everytime i go to mgalaxy, it shows 11330 games. I put "rom" in the filter and it displays all my roms but i cant get it to transfer to mgalaxy when i open it.

I followed all the steps in "the mame case" and I click ok on "database saved" and i still dont see games in my list. i  clicked used database if available and save it. open mgalaxy and then i get "the filtering produced an empty game list".

How do I setup my mame database in mgalaxy runway so my games list looks like it does when I used romlister for mgalaxy 5.5? What I mean is, how do I hide all the bios files and make games like donkey kong  actually read as donkey kong and not dkong? I have no idea how to create a mame database now without romlister.

Romlister is NOT updated to mGalaxy v6.0 database format!
I will contact him shortly about that fact!

mgalaxy 6.0 crashes when importing mame database

ive always used romlister with no issues on mgalaxy. After the new update to mgalaxy 6, it crashes when importing "mg_mamedb" that I created with romlister.
