Hide home systems / game console names in mame

[Neosys]

Hello!

I have the emulator ColecoVision run with mame on. runs so far very good.

For this I had to copy the coleco.zip in the rom folder of mame. Now I see the name Colecovision displayed. how can I "home systems / game console" hide?
I will only show my mame games and not the home systems / game console names.

Thank you.

Idk, I use a classic colecoVision emul, but if you use mame, the displayed name depend of the xml file. So I think you can just edit it, but I have never use this mame feature.

When i edit the xml then crashed mgalaxy.exe 

Which colecoVision emulator do you use?

I tested bluemsx but i have problems with the joystick.

You are trying to edit the xml called "xmlout.xml" ?

I m using BlueMSX or Mess (old version).

To make some tests, I have find others emuls compatible with mGalaxy, if you want to try it too.
- BizHawk Realy good one.
- ColEm light one, but few configuration possible for controller.

But on the game "antartic adventure" I haven't problem, but on "Alcazar" impossible to start the game (even with their virtual pad), for me it works only on BlueMsX.

I'm afraid you'll have to opt for a 'dedicated' emulator, mGalaxy only manages arcade games when the MAME system is chosen!

Hello MGALAXY!

Sorry my english is not so good. I don´t understand your answer.

Can i only show my mame games and not the home systems / game console names?

Thanx

That's it!!

I've just tested ColEm (http://fms.komkon.org/ColEm/ColEm.html) which works perfectly.
I've added it to the ColecoVision emulators list (available with next version of mGalaxy).
There's a new entry for it in the 'Emulators settings' page (http://www.mgalaxy.com/tutorial_emulators.html)

You can benefit from it right now if you want to!
To do so: open mGalaxy folder > Data folder > Systems.xml
Find this block of code:

Code: Select all

<System Type="Console">
    <Name>Coleco Colecovision</Name>
    <AppPath />
    <RomPath />
    <SnapPath />
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="MESS" value="coleco -cart "%path\%file%ext" -volume -%volume(32,0) -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.col,.rom,.zip</Extensions>
    <Active>False</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
</System>

Insert this line after the <Cmd id="0"......> line

Code: Select all

<Cmd id="1" name="ColEm" value=""%path\%file%ext"" />

Add then this line (this time for blueMSX

Code: Select all

<Cmd id="2" name="blueMSX" value="/fullscreen /machine "COL - ColecoVision" /rom1 "%path\%file%ext""/>

The whole block should now look like this:

Code: Select all

<System Type="Console">
    <Name>Coleco Colecovision</Name>
    <AppPath />
    <RomPath />
    <SnapPath />
    <VidPath />
    <Emu selected="0">
      <Cmd id="0" name="MESS" value="coleco -cart "%path\%file%ext" -volume -%volume(32,0) -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
      <Cmd id="1" name="ColEm" value=""%path\%file%ext"" />
      <Cmd id="2" name="blueMSX" value="/fullscreen /machine "COL - ColecoVision" /rom1 "%path\%file%ext""/>
    </Emu>
    <Extensions>.col,.rom,.zip</Extensions>
    <Active>False</Active>
    <Script>True</Script>
    <Database>False</Database>
</System>

From now, those 2 emulators will appear in the drop down list of available emulators for the ColecoVision system.

Hope it'll help! Don't hesitate to come back here and ask for help if you need to!

I think you can add BizHawk too, it works for coleco too, more options, but like Colem, some games are not working.

But I have a question, I have old Mame version (I m waiting for the next mGalaxy version to upgrade), so I haven't tested it since the mame/mess fusion. But it's not possible to select mame executable instead of mess executable to use Mame on the same way than Mess previously ?
