Have you actually looked for the mametest.bat ? If you type dir /b >mametest.bat at the DOS prompt and hit return there is no message or anything, you just get the DOS prompt again but the .bat file has been created. Try type dir /b >mametest.bat, hit return and then type 'type mametest.bat' (without the ') and hit return. You should then get the list typed in the DOS window. This is just to make sure the you have the .bat. --- Quote from: Hutt on February 12, 2016, 12:04:51 pm ---Also the only text editor I have is notepad... What are you using? A quick search I found one called EmEditor... --- End quote --- I use a very old version of UltraEdit. If you don't want the hassle of installing (and learning how to use) a new editor, just mail me the mametest.bat and I'll edit it. Takes only a few minutes. |

I'm going to go and delete a lot of the obvious and easy stuff first... like I said in the last post the M1-M5 files killed 8000 roms. I see there are some other large groupings as well... so after that I make a new .bat file I'll send it over. Thank you!! |

No problem. You don't have to delete all those files, it's easier to just delete the corresponding lines in the .bat. That's faster and that way you can't accidentally delete any files that you may need later. |
