All Killer, No Filler MAME Gamelists Directory
aevans0001:
@Badmouth You may update the front page with this version if you want and no need in giving me any credit.
I updated the list for use with Version .280
Unlike previous versions, this version works on directories with spaces
I also created a second script to use on Merged sets.
I created a third script for Non-Merged sets
The new batch files also work on any extension, so no more worrying about .zip, .7z, or extracted.
If using non-merged sets it will copy over some extra games. I tried to clear the obvious doubles, but some games have parent directory puckman and clone pac-man. So i more than likely missed some.
Enjoy
I have an continually updating post with even more lists in the works over on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/1noaec3/multitool_batch_files_to_organize_repair_and_copy/
------------------------EDIT----------------------
I have removed the files from here due to me constantly updating the batch files. If you click the reddit link above, you will see links to these files and many others. You can also get introduced to the batch files that I have created. THEY ARE AWESOME! They do all of the work to correct playlists in xml format, copy files to new directories so you can enjoy only the best games, etc.
Have a great day!

The Blitz games all need CHD files.
Pretty sure the non-.zip items on your list are the CHD directories.
- Copying a directory copies all of the files in the directory.
* The zipped ROM goes in the "..\mame\roms\" directory.
* The CHD directory name and the CHD file name are the same as the ROM name.
* The non-zipped .chd file goes in "..\mame\roms\[CHD directory name]\[CHD file name].chd".
For Blitz, the two files are "..\mame\roms\blitz.zip" and "..\mame\roms\blitz\blitz.chd".

BadMouth:
Only one blitz in the original list.
I don't have the time or interest to check, but it is a shame if the lists are becoming bloated from people adding all the games in a series just because they work. I'd hoped/assumed that games added were good ones we'd missed or good ones that have been promoted to working status.
EDIT: Not just good, but different from games already in the list. IMO, the Blitz games aren't different enough from each other to include all of them. If one is clearly the best experience, that one should be included and then if someone really likes it they can choose to add the others to their personal setup. But don't make someone scroll through two dozen Street Fighter variants just because they all work. If more=better, there are other ways to generate a complete list of all working roms that use joysticks.
