| Want to use ListGen to create a batch file to move roms |

I am working on a dedicated trackball cabinet. I am trying to use ListGen (thanks Budda!) to extract the rom names of the trackball games only -- and create a batch file that could move those roms from one directory to another. When I run ListGen (with moviebatch, mamewah, etc as frontend variable), I get the proper list of trackball roms, but I cannot modify the output file. Is there a way to manipulate the output format without modifying the source code? I tried modifying the templates, but the readme said that those are obsolete. filter.sql --- Code: ---select * from gamedata where control= 'trackball'; --- End code --- listgen.ini --- Code: ---rompath ..\mame_roms\roms mamepath ..\mame frontend moviebatch verbose 0 silent 0 audit_roms 0 use_clones 1 unique 0 us_version_priority 0 world_version_priority 0 strip_description 0 japan_version_priority -1 reuse_mame_data 0 output makemovies.bat force_uppercase_romnames 0 skip_final_step 1 boundary_path . boundary_file ssf.txt --- End code --- Thanks! |

I hate to bump but... |

Can't exactly help you with ListGen, but I can point you to another utility that might be able to help: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55636.0 This uses MAME's xml file output that you can parse through and keep isolating games that you're interested in, then a final pass with a -r on the command line will dump out only the rom names. You should be able to batch file that final output fairly easily. as the author of the above util, I am also available for tech support. -jeff! |

I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier. You can change the text from within your filter.sql: --- Code: ---.separator ' ' select '@call batch1',romname from gamedata where control='trackball'; --- End code --- Then in batch1.bat you move the rom from folder to folder: (foo to bar in this case) --- Code: ---move foo\%1.zip bar\%1.zip --- End code --- Please PM me if you have further questions. |

Thanks, Budda and NOP. I will try both out tonight. |
