SYNOPSIS

xml2info [-option] < ./input.xml > ./output.lst

DESCRIPTION

xml2info is the MAME XML to INFO converter. It is a stream filter able to translate the MAME XML output of the -listxml to the old INFO format.

The program does the following extra checks on the XML input: any game has a name attribute, any game name is unique and any cloneof/romof/sampleof attribute references an existing game.

Please note the program doesn't validate the XML input. It only checks if it's well-formed.

OPTIONS

-version

Outputs version information of XML processing engine.

EXAMPLES

A typical use in combination with MAME is :

mame -listxml | xml2info > mame.lst
