Processing options

• use_nonrunnable - controls the processing of entries in -listxml marked as runnable=“no”
• xpath_expr - the XPath expression applied on the -listxml output to select the driver, that should be processed (has to start with DRIVER_ROOT macro to be application-independent / only XPath 1.0 is supported)
• device_file - use a fixed list of devices instead of the automatic detection based on driver name and device type
• use_isbios - controls the testing of MAME bios sets
• skip_mandatory - controls the testing of drivers with mandatory devices, when devices are specified (MESS only)
• test_softrest - controls the execution of a softreset on each driver (only works with “use_debug”)

Command-line options

• str - the value passed to the -str parameter of the executable
• use_bios - controls the processing of all available bioses for a driver
• use_sound - controls the sound output
• use_ramsize - controls the processing of all available ramsizes of a driver (MESS only)
• use_autosave - controls the usage of -autosave of all drivers, that support it (runs each driver twice - once for initial saving and once or loading)
• use_throttle - controls the usage of throttling
• use_debug - controls the usage of the internal debugger (will automatically pass a script with the “go” command, so it will continue)
• use_dipswitches - controls the processing of all available dip switches for a driver (only working with 0.136 and up)
• use_configurations - controls the processing of all available configurations for a driver (only working with 0.136 and up)
• use_softwarelist - controls the usage of software lists (MESS only / only working with 0.138 and up)
• write_mng - controls the writing of MNGs for each driver
• write_avi - controls the writing of AVIs for each driver
• write_wav - controls the writing of WAVs for each driver
• additional_options - specifies additional options for the command-line

Output options

• output_folder - specify the folder the mame_regtest output gets written to
• store_output - controls if the output files of a call are kept
• clear_output_folder - controls the clearing the output folder on start-up
• print_xpath_results - controls the creatíon of a XML containg the results of the XPath expression

Valgrind options

• use_valgrind - will run each call in valgrind (UNIX only)
• valgrind_binary - the location of the valgrind binary (UNIX only)
• valgrind_parameters - the parameters, that will be passed to the valgrind calls (–log-file is added by mame_regtest / UNIX only)

Additional options

• test_createconfig - controls the configuration creation in the output folder (the file is not used as configuration for the tests)
• verbose - controls the amount of command-line output

Hacks

• hack_debug - indicates, that given executable is a debug version for versions, that don't have the debug attribute in the -listxml output (necessary until 0.114)
• hack_ftr - forces usage of old -ftr parameter and the old snapshot locations (necessary until 0.113)
• hack_biospath - forces the usage of the old -bp parameter (MESS only / necessary until 0.111)
• hack_mngwrite - forces the usage of the old MNG locations (necessary until 0.???)
