Best Means to Clean Up Mame?

[mike96sc2]

I am looking for a nice rom set of certain roms. I have a .143 complete set, but I want to remove certain clones, duplicates, foreign titles, etc. Is there any software that's as easy as displaying the list of roms and being able to hit the delete key on certain ones? I am running MAMEUI64 and this gives the perfect menu to do so, but it doesn't let you delete any roms from the list.

Any advice would be pretty great. Thanks!

You can try RomLister, but I'm not really sure.  Honestly, I keep a full list of games, including clones, duplicates, foreign, etc.  I then just use favorites lists via my frontend.  Over the past 15 years I've found it much easier to maintain complete romlists than it is partial lists.

+1  Much easier just to have a complete set and use game lists to only display the ones you want to play. The roms are usually small enough you won't realize much space gain by deleting a bunch of them, there are so many of them it'll be a bit of chore and you may accidentally delete a needed rom (Bios, parent, etc.)
