I used SortInfo to separate my ROMs into directories corresponding to my CP's.  Then I made a batch file with a menu for selecting the current CP.  The batch file copies over the emuwizard.ini file associated with the CP.  Then I just launch EmuWizard!

The you should appreciate this.  I don't use a database, I wrote one for the frontend.  by the time I finished all the features, I had a decent little database going that use vectors for indexs and hashtables for data.  

But I would change in an instant to a true database because it gives you a TON of features, it's faster then anything you will write for a frontend, and it would help my memory requirements since I load all data into memory.

Database all the way!  Why load data that you are not gonig to ever uses.  I only pull the data into AFX that is need, when it is needed.  Database access even with Access is lightening fast.  You can beat the power and speed of a db IMO.
