Hi When I first used MAMEUI I was confused because the word "original" is used instead of "parent". I can imagine MAME beginners are getting confused too. Is it maybe possible to replace this word? IMHO it makes not much sense to use another word for "parent" and create unneeded confusion, because MAME always uses "parent" everywhere. Here are screenshots where it is used. https://ibb.co/kgNcZW4p https://ibb.co/mC63dV7t kind regards MAMElicious

A final question about MAMEUI: since there is no history.db, where do you read all data from? Is it ready directly from history.xml, gameinit.dat, ... when you click a game?

Thanks! Any chance you also have knowledge of the MAME way of reading DAT files? I'm having big problems here (test files/code available there): https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/13965

Thanks! Everything is clear except the last line. What to put in the "plugin" variable exactly? Can you give an example for gameinit.dat ? Is it this one you mean? Because I don't need to use this for MAME. # # SCRIPTING OPTIONS # autoboot_command autoboot_delay 0 autoboot_script console 0 plugins 1 plugin noplugin

Note that this is NOT a negative comment! I just try to understand how MAMEUI handles DAT files and if there are similarities or differences with official MAME. Until now I can't figure it out because what works in MAME does not work in MAMEUI here. That's why I ask for an explanation of the developer of MAMEUI. Thanks

Hello I try to make DAT files work in the history tab of MAMEUI but it's not working as expected. I copy all the DAT files to "DATs" folder while the LUA scripts in "plugins/data" are all there. I can't make existing DAT files (command.dat, gameinit.dat, ...) as own made DAT files (which work in official MAME because I tested them) work in MAMEUI. Also the "history.db" is not written in the "data" folder (as MAME is doing). Can you please inform what DAT files should work and if own made DAT files should also work (as in official MAME when you write the needed LUA scripts and put them in "plugins/data")? I also don't understand why "history.db" is not written in the "data" folder. In addition, I also don't find the "plugin.ini" file (as MAME has) for enabling the data plugins. Is MAMEUI not using plugin.ini or how to enable the data plugins? Thanks in advance!
