How do I create a dat file using MAME.EXE?

[Mamlas]

Hi, I have MAME.EXE and CLR MAME Pro

My question is: how to create DAT File for CLR MAME Pro if I have only MAME.EXE ?

I'm comfused mame.exe has too many switches (eg. -listsha1 -listcrc -listxml) and I don't know, how to combine them to get usable output for datutil.exe or similiar program.

Thanks for any idea

I think, that the way is very simply. Run command line (cmd) and do this:

Code: Select all

mame.exe -lx>a.a
datutil.exe a.a
del a.a

The file datutil.dat is now created.

Or you may use latest version od MAME32 ( http://www.classicgaming.com/mame32qa/ ) and do this:

Code: Select all

mame32.exe -lx>a.a
datutil.exe a.a
del a.a

The file datutil.dat is now created and this one contains some new games for 0.99u6

I'm sorry for my grammar
