Thank God it didn't.

I meant only in thw way that i could run games without the name being exactly as its database or whatever it uses.
It would make life alot easyer.

Arcade is the same everywhere : the rom name must match.
For consoles on mame, you have the -cart that allows you to pass any rom name. BUT: the roms hash must match (if I'm not mistaken, can someone confirm ?)

The -cart option allows loading any file, no hash is checked.
Hashes are checked in "software list" mode: mame megadriv sonic -> "sonic" is searched in the "megadriv" xml software list along with "sonic.zip" in the "megadriv" rom path, the zip contents are checked against the hash of the rom that's considered as the correct dump.

I have to agree specially with this point. Thanks of course to Alphanu and Substring that intermediated to make this happen. But yes, probably RA's populist focus was positive for this.
