CoryBee:
What are you using that makes you have to manually add?

Have you checked out ROMlister?  I will never manually add again.
dgame:
The system is an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 (6M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) with 4GB RAM and WinXP x64.
27" Wells D9200 and ATI Radeon X600 with CRT_EmuDriver 9.3, only Running x64 GroovyMAME 147u4 and MaLa.
Currently stored on a 160GB 7200RPM Hard Drive. Going to squeeze everything onto a 64GB SSD Drive.

The list will be created with RomLister build 027: http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/

Looks like this is winding down.

I will post the list in MaLa format and rom names only format. Any other format requests? Hyperspin?

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I'll leave the list open to suggestions until this weekend when I will create and post the final version. This has been very interesting. I have 10 previously removed personal favorite titles to add to the final list which pushes my personal list to 210 games. The list I post here will only be the 200 gleaned from this thread.

Maybe its just me, but I have no confidence in that tool. I played around with it recently, and the results just don't make sense. For example: I selected all my controls and a few genres. I ended up with 400+ roms, then I selected ' no samples' and 'no clones' to cut down on the crap. However, I then ended up with more (500+) roms ??? The only way I could get any kind of expected results is by manually typing in the search criteria.

edekoning, manually typing in the search criteria is the best way to harness the power of RomLister.

I keep some search strings in a text file.

--- Code: ---'<nplayers>2P sim</nplayers>' & !Versus & !'<category>Shooter' & !'<category>Rhythm' & !'*Mature' & !'<driver status="preliminary'
--- End code ---

Now as you discovered the list is cumulative so every time you change something and click 'Go' it usually adds to the working list.

So if you want to make the list shorter close your working list, update the search string with more exclusions (not this, not that) and create a new shorter list.

Double click on titles in your working list that you don't want and find something in the XML to exclude.


--- Code: ---'<nplayers>2P sim</nplayers>' & !Versus & !'<category>Shooter' & !'<category>Rhythm' & !'*Mature' & !'<driver status="preliminary' & !cloneof
--- End code ---

This list is shorter than the first.

Now to make the list for this thread I am just going to 'List all ROMs' and Ctrl-Click the Titles and Right Click to Add them to the list.
