Title: simple list
Post by: Stormrider on April 24, 2010, 04:12:31 am

What's the easiest way to create a txt file with 3 columns: game name - manufacturer - year, from the roms available in a folder.

it's not a 1 step process though.  especially since you want that data extracted from the roms that exist in your folder already.

you will need to have an XML file generated by a version of MAME, then use RL's "rom scan utility" to go examine what files you have, then you can output a list of those games in CSV format to get the data you want.

my contact info is on the bottom of that page; i'll be happy to walk you through it.
