Reply To: Script to generate Emulation Station xml for MAME (entirely offline!)

[quote=84672]Hello,

Thanks for this script !!! How can I match my Snes folder roms with my image Snes folder to generate an XML file ?!!

Because when I execute the command :

perl mameGenXml.pl -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes -mode console -extension smc > gamelist.xml

The result is the XML file create, but not image path, there is no <image>…</image>

I put the .png file with the rom file in the same folder and I launch the script, but I don’t have images path in the XML file !!

Do you have an idea ?!

Thanks you

Do the images have the exact same names as the roms and have extensions that are one of these: png, jpg, jpeg, bmp ?

In other words if your rom is called “mygame.smc” the image must be called one of “mygame.png”, “mygame.jpg”, etc

You sure you’re looking at the right xml file ?

If you’re still having problems it might help if you provided some example rom and image file names and the relevant part of the ouput xml file output.
