Title: Games list save as txt or word file
Post by: sega_mad on January 24, 2013, 02:34:10 pm

Hi,

Hoping someone can help, as I can't work it out  :badmood:

Is there a way to save a games list as a txt or word file?

Thanks

mlgconverter.exe from this thread can convert a mala gamelist to a text file.

....but it's probably not what you're looking for. 
Mala gamelists contain all sorts of other information like path, screen orientation, joystick type, etc.
All that stuff will be there too and takes up a lot of space between the game names.

If you're just looking for something to spit out a list containing the names of all the games, I don't know of anything.

Thanks anyway

http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/ (http://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/) use filters to create a list.  :dunno

I think you need to explain the "whys and whats" of what exactly you are after though.


good day.

The game list that appears on screen. I want to be able to print out that exact list, as it appears on screen.
