Quick help needed for mala game lists

[gatordad]

I used romlister to create a mala game list of mature games,  but how do I filter my newly created list, it just shows up as a selectable list. I want to filter these before tonights party.
Thanks

Use RomLister in Batch file mode using "del %rom%.zip" instead of the default the program gives you. Use RomLister to get the list of mature games you want to get rid of. Output it to "File" and save that batch file in your roms folder. The go to your roms folder and double click that newly created batch file to delete those mature games. Then open mala and refresh your game list.

This will completely delete them, though. If you only want to temporarily move them, then you'll need to change your batch file command using something other than "del.%rom%.zip". (Someone else will need to chime in with the batch file command as I'm not sure if "cut %rom%.zip c:/mature" would work.

Thanks I do not want to delete but just filter.

Just rename them.

instead of "del %rom%.zip"

use

"ren %rom%.zip.mature"

As long as MaLa only looks for ".zip" files as ROMs it will ignore the .zip.mature files.  This is the way it works by default.  All your files are still there, and can be renamed again trivially if you need them back again.

... and don't forget to regenerate your gamelist in MaLa
