Thin out roms to match Mala game list.
« on: August 01, 2015, 02:01:20 pm »
I remove programs from Mala Gamelist (by right clicking), games such as undesirable or don't run right.
But if I refresh the gamelist, all the ones I removed are back.
I would like to go through the game lists and move any roms not in the list to a different folder.
Is there a program that can do that for me?
If not, I can write one pretty quick in VB6, but I cant open the list file (example: AllGames.ML0).
Does anyone know how I can open the list file with VB6?
Simply put, the program will read each game name in the rom folder, check the mala list, if not in mala list then move game to a different folder (such as "undesirable roms").
What format is the ML0 file?

I have created sub lists that will not refresh like the main list. The option is disabled.

I will check that option out. Thanks.
