What is the easiest way for me to make a list of all the files in MAME that are needed for emulation but are not games? I'm trying to set up a new front end and it needs a list of files to ignore so that it wont try to display the games.

Hmmm, On my laptop running basic mame, I think the bios files are ignored or at least don't appear in my game list. If you're using emulation station you can use <hidden hidden/> in your game list to hide. Retrobat has it's own bios folder so... I guess it depends on your front end.

I'm using Pegasus. I need to use the following format
ignore-files:
3dobios.zip
airlbios.zip
aleck64.zip
alg_bios.zip
allied.zip
ar_bios.zip
aristmk5.zip
I got a list from looking at the code Emulation Station 2 uses to ignore files but I still have a ton of files showing up in the front end, so I was hoping for a more complete list, or a program that can make an excel spreadsheet of all my files with some listed as bios or something that would be faster than opening my front end and typing in the name of each file that is still showing. I am really good with text editing so even if the list uses a different file format or doesn't show the file extension I can fix that in ~30 sec.

Ok gotcha, I had a folder with files that I had to turn into a text list but it's been a while. I think I came across a way to do this using power shell but It's been quite some time. If I can remember what I did I will let you know. You're right, there are a bunch of files in the mame download bios packs.

I got tired of waiting and just typed them all in by hand..
In case someone else needs a pegasus metadata file for mame, or just a list of files to ignore, her ya go.

Sorry damphon, I had to do some digging to remember how I converted files in a folder to text files :embarassed: Basically just go to the folder in file explorer. Click File - Open Windows Powershell - Open Windows Powershell as Administrator. Since you're opening right from the folder, you just type "dir > dirlist.txt" and hit enter. Now go into your folder and along with your files you'll see a new file dirlist.txt. Open that up and there are all your files in text form. Apologize for the delay, hoping this helps you or the next guy!!!
