I think those MRA should, at least, be reported through the web interface.
This will help MRA developers to know their MRA files are malformed.
I think you understand what I was saying, but reading back my posting I saw that maybe I wasn't completely clear in my wording, so for clarification:
By "have an & character in them", I mean that that character is present within the MRA file; not in the title of the MRA file.
For example:
<misterromdescription>
<name>Flicky (128k Version, not encrypted)</name>
<mameversion>0217</mameversion>
<setname>flickys2</setname>
<mratimestamp>201912300000</mratimestamp>
<year>1984</year>
<manufacturer>Sega</manufacturer>
<category>Maze / Cat & Mouse</category>
<category>Platform</category>
<rbf>segasys1</rbf>
As you see, the <category>
line says Cat & Mouse
. This & character generates the XML error.
It should read: Cat & Mouse
I am giving feedback about: Certain MRA's are not showing up in the webmenu
I believe that because: I found out that those mra files all have an XML error. What I found is that most of them have an & character in them and that generates an error during scanning, causing them not to show up in the WebMenu. When I correct the & character by replacing it with &, then the mra magically appears!
But: This seems an error in the MRA and not the webmenu, but maybe you can be "lenient" in the scanning process, by letting them appear despite the error?
