Re: MAME UI32 v0.128 Missing Games Question

I am using MAME UI32 v0.128 and was wondering if there is any way to
determine what games you are missing from that version.

No.

Why don't they add a "Missing Games" option?

This would certainly be helpful in determining what to look for when
you are downloading.

Derivative Works

Derivative works are permitted under the MAME license. However, you are
discouraged from providing specific functionality that goes against the
philosophy of the MAME team. Specifically:

- Do not provide a means of generating a list of games that specifically
identifies those games for which the user does not have image files.
This only encourages users to seek out sources for illegal ROM, CD, and
hard disk images in order to "complete" their collection.
