How many (playable) MAME games do you have set up on your cab?

I currently have 106 games. There are about 20 I might delete, and 20 I would like to add. At most, I don't think I would want more than 150.

Of those 150, there are maybe 50 I would play more than once or twice.

Ginsu Victim:

The full .128 romsets, minus a few CHD games.

might I also shamelessly self plug ROMLister to help with your tasks:

going through 6000 or even 2000 roms by hand is silly, especially when you don't know offhand if any particular game can even be played on your cabinet.  What's the point of having a trackball game available in your list if you don't have a trackball on your cab, or if a game needs 6 buttons and you've only got 4?  Dump those first and then narrow the list down by hand based on games you actually want to play.

BTW: to stay on topic a little bit, my vertical cocktail machine has 300 games on it.  I like including the total stinkers because I often get asked at parties what the weirdest/worst game is on my machine...  hilarity ensues.



(+_+):

Thanks NOP. I'll be downloading that since there is a lot of cheese (IMO) in that 6000 + list.

Looks good.  I have a question, after you have had the program generate a list, can you easily add a game?  Case in point I do not have a steering wheel or pedal on my cabinet, but using a joystick and a 2 buttons I have configured Ivan Stewart's Off Road to work.  Since it would not select that game because of the missing controls, can I easily add it in after?
