All Killer, No Filler MAME Gamelists Directory

Just wanted to thank the OP for compiling this list.  Will be using it for android builds where space is more at a premium.  So much crap out there in Mameland.  Nice to have a cream of the crop compilation.

I just stumbled upon this forum... Thanks for sharing your curated MAME list!

I always wanted to make do something similar to trim down the thousands of games available to older 8bit console.... something to get down to collections of games that are not utterly overwhelming. To do so I went ahead and wrote a script to scrape metacritic.com and gamerankings.com to build lists of scores I could use to achieve quality over quantity.

Feel free to grab the data here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwsYd1k8t0lEfmJPcE5UOGMwekt1TFRWbXZjd0pZUmw0T0ZkTkV0RlBmb2ROV0w2V3FpNkU

There are two folders, one for metacritic, one for gamerankings. Gamerankings.com probably has more useful info since they aggregate scores from various review sites (including metacritic). Under each you'll find review lists grouped per system. And in gamerankings.com's case I made subgroups for how many reviews were available... So for example if you want to make a list of SNES games that were heavily marketed and have an average 80% score, pick the list where each game had at least 10 reviews. If you don't want to miss the occasional gem that fell through the crack, go for the list that had at least 1 review...

Anyways, hopefully someone here will find this data useful and use it to come up with nice concise lists for consoles games.

I just wanted to thank you guys for the list.  I collected each ROM by hand yesterday, because I didn't want to wait for a 100+ gig download, only to pull out the few ROMs and CHDs I needed.  Your selections obviously helped me a ton, and each time I thought of a game I wanted to play that I thought would stump the list, it was in there:)

Before I go crazy downloading art and making a custom wheel, I figured I'd see if anyone else had a stock Hyperspin wheel and accoutrements they'd be willing to post to match?  If not, I'll post one in this thread when I create one.

THP:
OK, this was easier than I thought.  I just whipped up a quick batch file to go through my nofiller ROM dir, and copy wheel images from a MAME full ROM repository I found.  Pretty basic stuff, but it might help someone less technically inclined loop through their no filler to do housekeeping/copying.   Here it is, and you'll obviourly need to tweak the directories to something that matches your systems.  Once this was done, I just copied the contents of artTemp over to my nofiller wheel images directory, and done!

@echo off
md artTemp
for %%f in (*) do (
  echo %%~nf
  copy "C:\HyperSpin\Media\MAME\Images\Wheel\%%~nf.png" artTemp
)

What an awesome topic.   I love seeing the BASH shell work (I am an old Unix/Linux guy..).   :applaud:

If I were to be selfish, I would love to see a catigory for games that use the spinner, one for the trackball, and one for a flight stick.  Really, I am most interested in the flight stick.
