mameName LCD Smartie Plugin

December 2020

Displays the name of the current running game ROM in MAME on any LCD Smartie compatible screen.

Latest version: v1.2

CHANGES SINCE 1.0:

  • Now auto detects 32/64 bit
  • Compatible with MAMEUIFX32/64 & ARCADE32/64

REQUIREMENTS:

  • LCD Smartie (>= 5.3 beta 3)
  • MAME 32 or 64 bit (for Windows) (Or MAMEUIFX/ARCADE)

USAGE:

Unzip the download file into the "plugins" directory of LCD Smartie and then... $dll(mameName,1,[hideLongName (0/1)],0)
  • The first parameter is always 1, the last is always 0.
  • "hideLongName" will show the full name when set to anything other than 1 and attempt to show the game name only when set to 1. (1 is the recommended setting.)

Say we are playing the rom titled "Galaxian (Namco set 1) [galaxian]".
Here's how it would look with different settings:

$dll(mameName,1,0,0)
LCD: "Galaxian (Namco set 1) [galaxian]"

$dll(mameName,1,1,0)
LCD: "Galaxian"

Also compatible with MAMEUIFX
