Title: Drawing a blank regarding 4 player mame games and 2 player mame games
Post by: Ian on December 17, 2015, 09:21:17 AM

Hey guys, built a database with Rom Lister and it worked great. But I can't remember for the life of me how to switch a couple of 4-player mame games to the2-player clone version. So I don't always have to be Marge and player 2  Homer etc. I tried renaming the rom itself thinking I can trick the computer into thinking this was the correct one but that just pulled up an error.

I know I did this before. It's been a while since my last build. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, you want to edit the created database, or the ini file to make a custom database ?

Well yeah... My game list on galaxy has the 4 player Simpson's I want to change it to the 2 player Simpson's. I know there is an easy way to do this I just forgot.

You can just edit the database

Code: [Select]

<players>2P alt</players>
Or if you want to chnage it definitively edit the player.ini file, and make again your database.

Thanks for the reply but I don't see the option on the Database. I have Mame .161 and I had to make a merged database using rom lister. Unless there is another database that I am forgetting?
