I actually only had about 200 games on my cab when I first started and had thought I had accomplished this - and then had someone asking for games I didn't have that I suppose were somewhat common/popular.

Yeah, I'm doing something like that right now, my problem is that another requirement I want to achieve is to be sure all games boot fine, have controls defined fine, that performance of the PC is fine to run every game on the list, etc. But yeah, I guess that there is nothing much better than this option.

its not good only to have the popular games,because there other games less popular which are very cool to play and you lose them if you do that

As a counter-point to this, you will NEVER again see any machine in my collection presenting more than 100 games to the user.
 
There is a reason why people consistently point out that their 60-in-1, 48-in-1 and Neo Geo machines get more play than their all-powerful MAME boxes.

People want to spend their time playing games, not choosing them.

It is easy to have a game list for general consumption and to have a seperate game list so that you can play eleventy12! games when you want.

Additionally if you put 100 games in there, the user might actually browse through the games and pick games they didn't remember. If you put 5000 games, they will look for the game they want and ignore everything else.

the more games the better for the years to come
having only 50-60 games on mame cab is a shame
