Title: Rom Sorting Thread?
Post by: EndTwist on November 03, 2003, 03:23:10 pm

Hey,

I couldn't find that darn thread about sorting roms and such (it had a bunch of links and info I need). I searched and went through about 10 or 15 pages. Could anyone link me?

What do you mean?  Do you want to actually sort your rom files into different folders or just create lists of roms for frontends based on different categories? Take a look at a program called SortInfo.

Like weed out roms that aren't for my version of MAME. I'm using MAME 0.59 on my cab, but I have version 0.70 roms.

You can always use a rom manager like clrmame or romcenter.  I know clr mame will get rid of unneeded files.
