prototype games and littles changes (games.xml)

[Ian]

I made a mistake
I meant to say star wars uses inverted controls, not the lost world

Star wars uses a joy stick, and it's really common for flight games to use inverted controls

[Spindizzi]

Aaaah ok,
for information, in swtrilgy games, the controls can be inverted (or not) in service menu setting the arcade cabinet type (deluxe cab, normal cab etc...)
I can't find this option in lost world

Thanks it help a little, but i still need a .dat or a .xml to read in my clrmamepro, because it help a lot more my organized set. Please if you can, or ask mame devs to change is database in the next version. As we know mame today is open source now. Merci.

Hey Spindizzi: I’ve fixed some things and will send you an email within the next 24 hours.

Hi
add mpegboard to srally2x
you must add epr-20641.2, mpr-20637.57, mpr-20637.58, mpr-20637.59, mpr-20637.60 from srally2 rom set

How do you figure this stuff out dude???

Open up Games.xml -- it should be pretty self-descriptive. You'll notice different ROM sections. Typically, different revisions of a game will share the same MPEG ROMs, so if they're missing, you just need to add the appropriate lines of XML to the game definition.

Ah, more straightforward than I thought then - I thought this involved some kind of painstaking detective work by Spindizzi figuring out which bits of which ROM you needed to swap out between the games to get one of the other versions working.
