Hello everybody!
I have a question about the mame command line -listsoftware
It generates a XML file that contains all software lists in the current mame version.
I generated that list and counted (using a program) the number of software lists inside the XML file: it are 555 software lists for mame 0.217.
The manual says:
-listsoftware / -lsoft [<pattern>]
Posts to screen all software lists which can be used by the entered pattern or system. Note that this is simply a copy/paste of the .XML file which reside in the HASH folder which are allowed to be used.
But if I count the number of XML files in the HASH folder of MAME, I find 567 XML files.
Why has -listsoftware XML file has not the SAME amount of software lists then the HASH folder?
Is this a bug in the -listsoftware command line?
Thank you for reading!
