Nightmare03:
Hey,

Is it possible to rename a rom and still run it normally? I want to be able to rename Space Invaders from "Invaders" to.. you guessed it "Space Invaders" Obviously if i do this mame wont run it.

Any ideas?

You'll have to modify the mame source. Change driver.c to reflect the new driver name and rename the driver in the drivers subdirectory. Then recompile.

I don't know if it will compile correctly if spaces are used in the filename for the driver.

Are you sure you want to be doing this? The MAME developers named the drivers what they did for a reason.

I never said i wanted to do this... just would have be easier to add games to the program im making, thats all.

Make a lookup table with "mame -listfull".  Look up the romname and display the game name.
