Need Mamewah help, creating game lists

Well, I don't have any bright ideas to rename your genesis stuff back to what they were, but the Generic Artwork Renamer on screenshotarchive.com seems like it may be able to rename the images to match the new file names...I'd make a backup first this time around though.  Something in my gut tells me this might put kind of damper on updated the roms or screenshots in the future, but I don't even know if that's something to be worried about.  If it's less complicated than that though, and the only difference is that (a)->(U) and (5)->(E) something like RenameMaster (http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/108/) would fix it in no time flat with it's Replace fuction.  It even has a preview and an undo function.

As for a way to zip everything in a folder to individual zip files, I'd say try winrar.  Open it up and navigate to the folder you're looking for, select everything you want to zip and click the Add button up top.  When the next box pops up remember to choose zip instead of rar for the archive format, and then go to the Files tab and check the box that says Put each file to separate archive.

You could always get a new romset. They do exist with with all .bin extensions. 8)

that renamemaster sounds interesting i'll have to give it a try.  man my genesis roms are the worst of the bunch  i just finished setting up the last of my console emulators and i had very little trouble with the rest of them (in terms of mamewah, finding the right bios for mess for the 7800 was a challenge) such as atari 2600-7800 and turbo grafx 16, my rom names matched the picture names just fine.  its a shame there isn't a good emulator for the atari jaguar  i've been wanting to play some brutal sports football or cannon fodder.

any idea where i can get my hands on an organized genesis collection including screen shots, box, and cartridge art?

just have the handheld emulators to setup now and i'll be done then just doing the little tweaking like adding the no image pics.  Mamewah is an excellent frontend  I really like it.  It just takes alot of patience and research  not all the information is found in the docs.  the mamewah config program is great as well as help from jcrouse's website, screenshotarchive, and arcadecab.com.  timoproduction has some nice skins also

hello,

could someone answer his (and now mine, I guess :P ) question about making custom lists?  I cannot figure that out if my life depended on it.  Right now I have the default setup, and it works fine, but there are so many clones and games I don't really play that it gets to be overwhelming.  I'd really appreciate a quick response, as I have company coming soon and I'd like to have this done beforehand :)

Thanks,
spongebue

here's how I got it to recognize the full name/metadata for all games via Mamewah Config 1.6.1

I don't think I mentioned there that catver.ini (http://www.catver.com/) is required for your mamewah setup to be capable of filtering by category.

You can do all of this without Mamewah config (there's a utility built-in to mamewah called make gamelist - access by hitting 2 to get to yer menus and then it's under the options).  You'd still need mame.dat and catver.ini to best of my knowledge...

good luck.
