MAME.txt formatting #216

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I know that I can get a fresh history.dat from http://www.arcade-history.com/. 
I can tried to convert it into your MAME.txt file format with:

`iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-15 history.dat > converted.txt`

However, that doesn't work. How can I grab and convert my own MAME.txt?
