You don't even get them with a "mame /?". I found the switches in the .CHM help file of Mame32. ::) |

--- Quote from: MaximRecoil on July 30, 2006, 01:48:17 pm ---I have linked to a zipped batch file which, when unzipped, placed in the ROMs folder and ran, will move all of the clones to c:\clones (make sure you create a folder in c:\ named clones before running the batch file). After that you will have your ROMs separated into two folders; the parents and the clones; and you may have to pay some extra attention to the few cases where the parent doesn't work but the clone does. --- End quote --- I'm curious. Do you use Clrmamepro to verify your roms? Could using "non-merged sets" be good enough to make sure all stand-alone parent roms will work? Putting the clones in their own folder sounds like a pretty efficient idea. Thanks. |

BTW, the current list of command line options can be found here. I think there is a way to generate them from the Mame EXE too, but I'm not sure how (you would expect mame /? to work but it doesn't). |

Clrmame Pro (at least the very old version that I use) allows you to merge different sets of roms into stand-alone zip files. It's pretty smart about it. Here's a link to the Clrmame Pro help page that describes it. I would think that using this method to sift through and seperate your roms, you could conceivably get original sets that don't have any trouble running. Then you could seperate the clones into a specific folder like you were talking about.
