I find a bit conflicting datafile internal names don't match xml filenames. The following hash files as of MESS 0.155 have that issue:
g7400.xml
softwarelist name="vg7400" description="Philips Videopac Plus G7400 cartridges"
fmtowns_cd.xml
softwarelist name="fmtowns" description="FM Towns CD-ROMs"
pegasus_cart.xml
softwarelist name="pegasus" description="Technosys Aamber Pegasus ROM expansions"
radio86_cass.xml
softwarelist name="radio86" description="Radio-86RK cassettes"
Doing some tests, if I try and load a Videopac Plus G7400 cartridge I get the following:
WARNING: support for software helicopt (in list g7400) is only preliminary
helicopter rescue (europe).bin NOT FOUND (tried in g7400 odyssey2 g7400\helicopt
helicopt)
FATALERROR: Required files are missing, the system cannot be run.
Which obviously obeys it's following internal software list name. Not a problem, that "mistake" has been there since 3 to 5 official builds and it was the only one. But now we have 3 more hash files. If I try and load a Radio-86RK cassette, it won't load on a "radio86" path. Only if it's in a "radio86_cass" path, that is following xml filename.
Not a complain, only reporting what it could be an omission. I don't have a bannister account, so sorry for reporting this here.

MESS softlist paths: by xml filename or datafile name?
