Title: GensFE and MAMEWah
Post by: EggZilla on October 27, 2003, 03:25:48 pm

Seems like a match made in heaven, but I have one complication. Some of my games are bin files, and some are smd. Thus, I can generate lists that contain one file type or the other, but not both. I've currently got them set up as two separate emulators, but does anyone know of a way for me to get MAMEWah to list both file types simultaneously?

I was thinking I might zip all the files and tell MAMEWah to look for that file extension, but it would be quite time consuming to zip each file individually. Is anyone aware of a quick fix that I'm just to dense to notice?

Cheers,

Eric

i remember a few people here have used a zip utility that zipped a folders contents into seperate zip files. i have no idea what the name of it is, and after doing a search for it...i still don't know (i would like it as well).  can anyone tell me the name of the program please?

I'd recommend zipping them as Luxury says.

But you could try setting the ROM Extension to '*', and try that.  I can't remember if Gens requires the ROM Extension to be sent (quite possibly), but if not, it should work.

Check Zophar.net, I pretty sure there is a SMD <-> BIN convert tool floating around.

Actually, I just did it manually. I didn't have a great many files, and with WinZip in my right-click menu, it only ended up taking about 15 minutes. Thanks to everyone for your advice though - it works flawlessly now!
