Want to delete the dirty/x-rated games from your rom set?
Paul
dirty games from the rom set so I won't have to supervise them while they
play. Well, I went through the painful task of scanning through all 3500+
games, moved the questionable ones to a folder (I based my choices on
looking at the snapshot and name of each game), then created a batch file
from the custom.ini file. If you want to clean up your kids' Mame
installation, copy the lines below to a batch file, then run the batch in
the ROMS and SAMPLES directories. You can then change the batch file so that
.zip is changed to .png, then unzip snap.zip and clean up the snapshots too.
Then rezip the remaining files back to snap.zip again. This gets rid of most
of the Mahjong games, and other random ones like the Peekabo breakout games,
and few indecent "girly" pinball games and a few other stray ones. There are
about 3200 games left in my rom set now.....still more than my kids can play
in their lifetime. This is a crude batch file, but it worked for me. I think
I got most of the bad ones. I'd be curious to hear if anyone comes across
any others. Hope this helps some of you......

"Dirty" games, eh?
Sheesh, talk about re-inventing the wheel.
Incidentally, did you also delete all of the "violent" games? If not,
what are you waiting for?
It's amazing to me the number of people who think of Mame as a babysitter
for their kids. It's never been intended to be a children's toy.

It's not a baby-sitter, but a lot of us do play it with our kids or let
them pick their own games to play.
It's amazing to me that you are getting so bent out of shape that
someone else only wants to play certain games. It's not like he's trying
to ban the "dirty" games for everyone. I though you'd respect other
people's freedom to choose what games they have installed on their

How is this dirty or X-rated? It a version of Tetris.
Here's what you are teaching your kids:
Playing games you did not pay for = good
Seeing a breast = bad
Also, good luck cleaning up the whole world for your kids.

I have done a couple of collections for friends who have kids, and running
MAME Content Manager.
Certainly my friends do not use this as a baby sitting tool, in fact the
kids are only allowed to play MAME for about an hour at weekends - and thats
providing that they have been behaving, done thier schoolwork etc.
I would hate to think that MAME is being used in such a way, but then again,
some people in the world probably dont know any better.

Unfortunately I played a lot of video games in bars when I was quite
young due to my fathers habits and I "still" never saw any of these
games. As to the "gentlemen's clubs" what a contradiction in terms

I do respect people's "freedom to choose". However, I also believe it to
be hypocritical when someone is busily "censoring" Pachinko Sexy Reaction,
but has no problem with leaving Time Killers on the list of available
games.
And, as I said, Mame isn't intended to be a children's toy so censorship
of this type is irrelevant to the project at the best of times.
I suppose that I mostly take exception to the subject line chosen by the
original poster. "dirty/x-rated games"? They are arcade games, folks,
and they have been included in Mame for a reason; that reason is not (in
fact) to "see boobiez".
One lamb's humble opinion, of course.

My point is his ethics are shaky.
Many of the games deal with violence. The game Chiller
is much worse than any adult game on mame.
The op is keeping the violence in and removing the topless cartoon girls.
While he is free to do as he wishes, I feel his kids would be better
protected with a more intelligent survey of appropriate and
inappropriate games.
PS. Why remove Puyopuyo?

Understood. However I feel that whenever you give advice to another
person as to what is best for their child you tread on dangerous
ground. The op made no assertion as to where he stood ethically or
morally he simply stated "hey I made this .bat file. If you want it
here you go" At which you presumed to make a decisicon for him as to
what sort of ethics he should be teaching his children. I for one
have no problems allowing my children to see LOTR or Star Wars which
portray violence and even glorify it. I will however in no way
subject them to movies that contain nudity of any sort. Before you go
on to make the point of how I am blinding out what cannot be avoided
in the real world or some other nonsense you should know that my
children are two years old and in my opinion do not need to know
about the real world yet. That being said I will teach them what I
believe is right and bullocks to the rest of the world because I am
their father. If anyone disagrees with that to bad, raise your own
kids. When they are old enough to make their own choices I will let
them, until then I decide. Sorry for the rant and I have nothing
against you personally I just feel we should offer advice as such
when requested and leave parenting to the respective parents. Their
are far worse things to which the child could be subject, heck read
my home page ;^)

Believe it or not, I agree with you.

No, he did insert a moral/ethical opinion with his subject line. He
called them dirty/x-rated games. Most are PG-13 or R rated at best.
Very few would get an X-rating.

I remember a strip poker game (probably called "Strip Poker") in the game
room in Findlay Commons at Penn State. It was in the corner, past
Gauntlet (with my initials), across from the pinball machines. It was
eventually replaced by Afterburner, iirc. The last time I was there the
entire room had been closed off and converted to some other purpose.
Sniff.

With my family, violence isnt a big issue. We know its not real when a
character punches someone's head off, however a naked lady is real. I grew
up watching Rambo and other "violent" things from early on, but sex is
purely an adult thing and thats why there are laws preventing anything
overly sexual for kids (don't go saying there are laws against violence now,
because if all parties involved are willing some violence is legal).

have no problem either allowing your son to sit and read playboy correct?
in fact some pictures in these games would never make it to playboy so I
guess you would have to buy him a swank, or a hustler instead...
I understand what your saying though. Point is life can be violent,
can't turn on the news without being reminded. BUT I do beleive that SOME
violence on T.V. can be a good teacher, it shows them life can be
dangerous, that for every action they take there is a reaction too. Hit
someone and they just may hit back, perform a violent act and many people
are effected along with the punishment that goes along with those acts.
Point is at this time in history there is NO WAY to prevent any child
from seeing violence on t.v., in real life, etc... sad though but true,
but the need to see naked women be it on t.v., books or vid games does
nothing to further my 7 yr old sons life at this time, later yes but now
no... and again sad to say but this is one of the few things parents

Everyone has their own "threshold" -- he wanted to get rid of the
"dirty" games first.
I've filtered out the adult games and a few of the more violent ones
(Chiller, etc.) on my system. I'm actually more against fighter games
than I am the adult ones (I've let my older son play Pachinko Sexy
Reaction once or twice), but everything in time. A parent has to make
their own decisions about what they want their children exposed to, and
when.

MAME may not be a toy, but everyone with a cab is using it as such. He's
not creating "censorship" for the project -- all he's done is remove the
games he finds objectionable, and shared his .bat with others. How does
this impact the MAME project? Is everyone required to have a full un-
filtered set?

I agree that the "dirty/x-rated" thing is overblown, but I respect his
right to choose what he plays. He's not required to have every game
that's been emulated in MAME.

Well ... what you may see in the mirror with "mommy" or "daddy" isn't
necessarily the same pose or action you may see in a game... (gotta stop

Exactly, and who's to say he doesn't claim the really violent games as being
dirty? He never specifically said anything about violent ones, just
"dirty/xrated". I know I put chiller and some of the other ones in a
catergory as being "dirty".
Andy Cassady
My parents censored my recreational activities(TV and movies), so I just
got it elsewhere... Their censorship even encouraged me to seek out
films with sex and violence. Kids learn about sex and violence if they
want to and no amount of censorship at home can curb their curiosity.
BTW: You forgot Pu.Li.Ru.La. Lots of innuendo and gratuitous long bare
legs in that one... You forgot Puzznic, too-Looks okay until you beat a

And when my son is 7 or 8, I don't want him to see mommy in the mirror
anyway! There's a clear difference between the two and obviously people
differ on which is worse. I'm guessing that most of the people saying the
nudity is fine (or not worse than violence) don't have kids (but I could be

And yet that doesn't mean parents should implicitly endorse sexually
explicit stuff by letting their kids do or watch what they want.
Landshark
I think I stumbled into alt.games.morality :)
That is true that kids will seek out what they are prohibited from. But
there are other things that once they are given access to, that they
seek out more. All part of that parenting thing :)

So what would your recommended viewlist for my 3-year old and 5-year old
sons be? A few of the classics such as Debbie Does Dallas, The Devil in
Miss Jones, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
There's a time and age for sex and violence, and the parent gets to
choose. You obviously disagreed with your parent's choices, which is
your right too.
(BTW, did you have to quote all 300 lines of the bat file in your
reply?)

parents 'doing it' pretty young, so I got 'The Talk' accordingly as I
ran into my room crying ;)
I still think I would rather my children became comfortable with nudity
before they became comfortable with violence. Watching a movie and
telling your children "That's not real" makes it that much more
difficult for a child to separate reality from fantasy. With nudity,
there is nothing intrinsically wrong wrong with it. That said there are
some games with material even I admit to being objectionable, but to
take every game that shows skin out is not necessary as some are quite
'soft'.
One SINNER's opinion, may he be forgiven :)

through most of the responses, and think most people got my point of making
the batch file. For others it appeared too much for their little brains to
handle.
Everyone raises their kids their own way. Also, every kid in every family is
different as well. Example, if you have a 7 year old son that tends to like
to fight and be destructible, then maybe his parent can make a batch file to
remove the violent games from Mame for him. For me I happen to have two
little girls that tend to have an interest in anything having to do with
other girls. When they come across a violent game in Mame, they just plain
aren't interested and hit escape (they're girls, can you blame them). But if
they come across any game with a girl on the snapshot, they tend to have an
interest and will attempt to play. Obviously I don't want my girls seeing
the smut games, so I chose to include these in my batch file. As for which
games I chose, you have to understand, I am a very busy person, and don't
have much time to scroll through 3500 games one by one. So what I did was
scroll through each VERY quickly. If the snapshot looked the LEAST bit
questionable, I included it in the batch, plain and simple. So games you may
think shouldn't be on the list might have made it. When you're scrolling
through 150 games per minute, theres not much time to decide, I was out for
the smutty, dirty, or xrated, ones (whatever the heck you want to call them)
and I think I got most.
Now if my girls want to play a few games while I'm in the other room, they
won't come across the smutty ones. And if they come across the violent ones,
they don't normally play them anyway. If I find out otherwise down the road,
then maybe I'll create a new batch then. To each his own. Raise your kids as
demented as you want. Since this took me MANY hours to do, I simply posted
to save someone some time. All I know is, now I feel much better scrolling
through the list of (now 3200) games, and I'm not going to shock my kids,
family members, or anyone who happens to be over visiting while scrolling
through the list.
Most of the people who responded with some strange, backwards remark, I bet
either don't have kids and wouldn't understand a parent to kid situation, or
maybe you have kids but since your parents did such a poor job raising you,
you have no clue how to raise your own. Or maybe you just can't have kids
and are pissed off at people who have them?
So much for trying to save a few people some time......

I would most definitely have to disagree here. The cartoon games are
mostly pretty tame, but I think most of the "photographic" games are a bit
more explicit than an R-rating would allow. (And yes, I conducted a survey
for *ahem* scientific purposes. :)
Beyond the ratings, however, the presentation of a few of the games is
pretty questionable. I find the girl's teary-eyed reluctance to strip in
Don Den Lover Vol. 1, frankly, disturbing. Even if I weren't a sexually
repressed American, I wouldn't expose my children to this.

I wouldn't call it unthinking. He couldn't realistically play all 3000+
games, and so he did the best he could by looking at names and screenshots.
I *would* however call it censorship. Normally, I reject censorship of any
kind instinctively. In this case, however, I find it perfectly acceptable.
He is censoring material for his own children. I say it is a parent's
*job* to censor anything they feel their child is not mature enough to
handle. That's the whole point, children aren't ready to deal with
everything right from the start. You have to filter their experiences and
allow them to learn a little at a time.

Another option would have been to use a frontend like Emuloader
(http://www.mameworld.net/emuloader/), which has a Parental Lock function.
It allows you to search the games by keyword, and password lock those which
you don't want your kids playing. Of course, this does leave the ROMs
available on this disk, which you may or may not be comfortable with,
depending on how devious your kids are. :)

I'm not recommending anything about when your kids should watch what(I
beleive I was 8 before I watched Debbie Does Dallas(Not a very
impressive film, IMO)... I was more into the slasher flicks, myself...
which my parents found much more acceptable). I agree there's a time
for everything and everyone has the right to raise their kids their own
way.

Oh come on, that's such pure bullshit. It's not like anybody here can take
the moral high ground on this point. I doubt you hang around here solely
for the scintillating conversation.
And who's complaining anyway? He made a batch file to remove games he
found objectionable from his own collection. He's sharing the list so that
anyone who wishes to do the same thing can avoid some tedious work. It's
not like he's petitioning the MAME Devs to remove the games he doesn't

Yeah, crotch-shots tent *ahem* (actual typo) TEND to garner an NC-17.
Many of those in mame aren't even very appealing. Breasts are R, and
quite a few of the cartoony games do stop without even revealing that
much.

I don't know if you saw the other posts before the firestorm, but
there's already a program that can filter/remove the adult and fighter
games (and the Majongg games, or whatever else).
It's called MAME Content Manager (MCM):
In other words, you didn't need to re-invent the wheel. ;-)
Take a look, it's just what you need.

Once you've become proficient in MAME the only other reason is *FOR*
scintillating conversation or to help others, how much MAME can you talk
about without eventually becoming repetitive. The groups is here so
like minded people can discuss things that are dear to them and gather
with some friends and occasionally enjoy the OP rant.

No one here is, but teaching right from wrong is all inclusive, not
selective, and as mentioned although sometimes appropriate, MAME is not
for children if it was there would be no need for tools like MCM.

Also I agree, I have taught Sunday School for young children and have
had the displeasure of having to diplomatically approach parents
concerning their child(rens) behavior and even when it *is*
neccissary parents don't for the most part take kindly to it at least
IME. This however does not really apply to this particular issue as
we have not determened that anyones child(ren) are misbehaving.

Thanks for your input. At risk of turning this into an even greater

This whole "why not let em see it if their just gonna find a way to
see it any way" philosophy is just lame. I mean, why make robbery
illegal if people are gonna do it anyway? Why outlaw rape? if someone
wants to force sex on you you can't stop them! and so on. In reality
if you a teach a child *why* you say something is wrong istead of
just *it's wrong* or *your too young* perhaps the child, as an adult
may share that point of view and perhaps not but your job as a parent
is to teach them *why* you believe a thing is right or wrong. If and
when my children decide to go and see an R rated movie it wont be
with me weather their 6 or 60 because I don't watch them. I will
explain to them why I feel it is wrong and as they mature they will
obtain other input and make their own decisions. My father subscribed
to Playboy and I stole them and read them when I was in Junior High
School. In a way my father had, by that, condoned that it was OK. I
later in life found reason to believe that it is damageing and
degrading to both the consumer and the models involved and decided it
was wrong. I will share that belief with my children and they will
make their decision.

So, IYO there is something wrong with a nude human? We arent talking sex
here and NUDE != Sex, teaching anything else would be deceptive and
munipulative. IMO of course.

yourself. They have grown up their whole lives surrounded by computers. If
they were really interested wouldn't they learn how to play those games
anyway. No lame attempt at "preventing" kids from access will ever work.
(at least it never worked for me).
Just my two cents...

Wonder if he covers up piano legs, too? And I always knew those damn

One of the last verses on Noah tells us that two of his sons averted their
eyes to avoid seeing his nakedness. Probably a fairly obscure reference on
my part.
SINNER
Way before that, in Adam and Eve (Genesis) they hid from God after they
ate from the tree as they were embarrassed by their nudity. When God
asked them how they knew they were naked, he realized they had eaten
from the Tree of Knowledge.
Based on that story, it was Man that has the issue with nakedness, as
God intended us to be naked...
I am no theologian though...

I'm no theologian, but I would agree with you - with some reservation. If
we were still without sin, then nakedness would not be a problem.
Again, I am not a theologian so this is probably phrased awkwardly, but:
My assumption is that the nakedness of Adam and Eve is more metaphoric - a
representation of how God sees our sin no matter how we clothe it. Adam and
Eve tried to sew together fig leaves - a representation of how silly our
own attempts to hide our sins really are.
Note that when God cast them out of Eden, he took away the ridiculous
clothes they had made and clothed them in animal skins. Not only were their
efforts ineffective, blood had to be shed to effectively cover their
nakedness.
Sory - this got way off topic. To bring it back on topic a little, I
personally do not have a problem with the nudity in these games. My
problems is the way women are exploited in them. There is nothing natural
about the sexuality displayed in most of these games.
I use MCM to filter out some games, but I keep others. I also keep out
games like Chiller. This is my choice as a father, and I do not presume to
tell others that they must do the same.

Paul,
Apart from the ones in your original list, catver.ini
and mameinfo.dat categorize the following games
as Adult.
I've not played them, so I'm uncertain of how
adult they actually are. Nor did I spend much
time preparing the list so there may be errors. All
I did was write a quick script to extract the rom
names of the games categorized as Adult in these
two files and compare them to your list.
Should you want to completely remove all the
adult games, you should download the mame
source code, comment out the lines relating to
these games and re-compile it.
Anyway, here's the list:
-----------------------
bballs
bigtwin
blockgal
bubl2000
galpanib
hexa
magix
matchit
pairs
pcktgal2
pcktgalb
pkladiel
plgirls2
primella
puzznic
sichuan2
sichuana
spool3
spool3i
-----------------------
Congratulations on inadvertently kicking up a
storm with this thread. Don't let it put you off
posting any other mame nuggets you spend
time on.
All the best,
Zax
