What ROM name is what game?
(1/2) > >>
Encryptor:
Is there a listing or a program some where that tells what game each ROM is? Something besides the funky names some of the ROMs have.

Mame can do that:

mame.exe -listfull > games.txt

Thank you very much for the info.  Ok. If you don't mind here's another. I'm using Mamewah for a frontend. Is there any way to make them list with their proper names either through the frontend or have mame pass the right names to the frontend? I hope that's not too confusing.

I haven't really had much experiance with it yet but I know it has to do with the list_generation_method.  You need it to compare your rom files with the known list of available games.  It works for me when I use the default list_generation_method for mame of rom_folder_vs_listxml.  Here is a copy of my mame.ini:

### mame.ini (mamewah v1.62) ###

Don't know if it'll help, but hopefully.

I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. I know I couldn't even get a list until I took the listxml part of this
statement "rom_folder_vs_listxml" out. I also don't know where you got the

auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].dat

statement. Below is my ini file and it doesn't have those statements. I had to put the paths in my ini file.
