The Games List

The games list is the core of the GnoMAME, in it you can find all the useful game information such as the ROM name, the game name and status. With the games list you can mark games, sort them or play a game.
The games list is composed of two parts, the title bar and the games info list :

The Title Bar

In the title bar you can find a description of the columns visible into the games list, every column on the title bar is a clickable button. Once pressed, sort the games list according with the meaning of the column, for example if you click onto the Year column title button, the entire list will sort into the creation year ascending order from the older to the most recent games.
There are three special columns :

The first column ( , , , ) is the visibility filter column, it indicates the visibility flag of the game. It is a cycling button that have four possible states, each state indicates what games are shown from the entire xmame games database, below there is a legend of the possible states with their meanings (this column isn't sortable).
The second ( ) is the game-specific configuration column, this flag indicates which games have a specific xmame configuration file and not obey to the general xmame configuration, to delete this file look at the games list menu commands (this column is sortable).
The last ( ) is the marked game column, indicates if a game is marked and is listed into the notepad window (this column is sortable).

The Games Info List

Here we can see a typical GnoMAME games list view.
We can see that the games are sorted into a "Description" ascending order and that we have 10 games visible, 8 with ROMs in perfect state (the icons on the first column) and 2 with some warnings (the icon on the first column and the last two lines). The game "Ninja Gaiden" has a specific xmame configuration indicated by the icon into the second column and the game "Pengo" was marked (the icon of the third column) and you can find it also into the "Notepad".
