Title: Playing CHD only
Post by: JudgeRob on February 19, 2016, 12:26:55 am

Any way to filter a database or list of roms to include only chd games?  I want to peruse my chd collection and select out the few I want to include in my cabinet.  My HD is getting full.

In MAMEUI there is folder for chd games.

Depends on your front-end. But a few I have used can accept a custom list from a list of romnames. Gameex for example.

So you'd go to a command prompt and navigate over to your Roms directory and type: dir /a:d /b>>chdlist.txt

That should give you a list of directories in your Roms directory. Those should match the name of your CHD Roms which I am assuming you can import into your front-end if its like mine.

Just tried it, works well.
