I was trying to get romlister to show US roms where possible and not the clones and to check for good driver status. Is this possible or would i have to add the few clones that work better later. Like i want pacman instead of puckman tho i know they both pass the driver status check.

one problem with the region stuff is that there just isn't that much data to go off.
ie, nowhere does it say that pacman is a USA release.
what we need is a catver.ini type file that describes each game's country of origin/language.

so you're best off doing "no clones" and "playable" checkboxes and leave the region stuff out.
You could also save your working list as an XML file, then bring that XML file in as your main input.  Then filter out japan games (since puckman says japan after it, but pacman doesn't say USA). 

that might get you what you're looking for.

yea I played with it a lil bit trying to work on learning the -find codex. alas in the end i have decided I wanted to change my os to windows xp 64bit from windows 7. for shelling reasons. so ill be redoing the entire thing later anyway. thanks for the reply awesome program saves me lots of time and work. I manually went through a list of 2000+ games after picking playable and adding a few filters i wanted.
