I´m thinking on a way to sort/view/hide games by genre on the MAME variant of QMC2.

You can aleady sort / view games by category (genre) when using AntoPISA's catver.ini file. You can't hide them, though.

It´s not the same. If I have more time, I will tell you more details.
A hide feature is now useful after the pinball/fruit machines flood.

Yeah, do this... because I can't see your point right now .

Well, if it's just a matter of hiding / showing specific categories... that could be done (in the next release).

Nice

Where was it again that you can force QMC2 to use mess.ini instead of its own internal settings? Thanks -

After compiling the QMC2, which files and DLLs needed to run the same? And another, the MESS and its archives, where I put? It may be in the data folder of QMC2? Guys, if you can help me I thank you, because I always had questions about these issues.

Which QMC2 add-on do you use to compile QMC2?



What do you mean? All MESS specific folders you can set in the Options.

I used this one to do the compilation: mingw-mame-w64-QMC2-add-on-20110905. Even by setting options, so it is not finding the folder as the folder ico hash. Is something configured wrong?

1.) Ahh OK, you use René´s package, it´s not my QMC2 add-on.
Check his builds to find out which files are required to run QMC2.
Then copy the needed files from your Mingw/Qt folder in your QMC2 folder incl. subfolders.
Do not mix the MingW build files with his official VC++ build files. They are different.

2.) Tools > Options... > Frontend > File/Directories
Set the path for the icon folder, example: data/ico/icons.zip
OK
