| Software to Sort ROMS |
| (1/1) |
| dwmcqueen:
Is there any software out there that will sort roms by both controls (I only have a joystick and 4 buttons) and by year (for example, I only want pre-1989). |
| MKChamp:
I don't know what frontend you use, but I would strongly recommend MAMEWAH. It will let you create different game list based on several different categories(from catlist) such as year, control, type of games, etc... |
| dwmcqueen:
Well, I don't even want to copy over ROMS that don't meet the above. And I am debating between either DOS or Linux for the box (Linux because I want to run Daphne). |
| Lilwolf:
I wrote a program that would move roms around based on controls used, and a bunch of other features (number of players, screen rotation, age, ect). But it used the database that my frontend uses. I asked if anyone thought they would use it (because then instead of using the database, I would just parse the -listxml file directly and have it as a standalone program... nobody seemed interested. Anyway, I like it a lot and use it to seperate the roms for each of my control panels. Makes it easy to setup my frontend. |

I have also written a program to parse out roms from the xml file generated by MAME: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55636.0 and here's an example of it being used to locate cocktail, vertical, spinner and trackball games: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55638.0 -jeff! |
