Topic: VMMaker a favourite game list limit
How much games I can put in MameMain.txt ? I have almost 2000 titles in this file and VMMaker hangs when I try to start it.
Re: VMMaker a favourite game list limit
The maximum value is 512, though it's not checked, that's way it's hanging. However, it doesn't make sense to use such a big amount. Bear in mind the driver admits only 120 modes, and that list simply sets a higher priority to those games, so even if you set high priority to 2000 titles only 120 modes will fit in the list. The purpose of those list was to avoid VMMaker dropping modes that were used by few games but even though were important.
GroovyMAME makes all that almost obsolete. You shouldn't use fixed mode tables either if you're in W7.

I bypass this actually using custom list with:

Re: VMMaker a favourite game list limit
That looks good.
