Hi.
I have some good sets and wondered if anyone knew a way to sort them so that only 1 of each rom exists? like not 10 Legend of zeldas only one? I am sure you just sort but what is the best way to do it?
thanks in advance

Well unfortunately there isn't any standardization when it comes to console roms. It makes it very difficult to sort anything. This is why I'm so gung ho about getting all emulators to standardize thier roms and artwork like mame does. It's not to say the mame is better, but at least when you see two roms with different names you know they are actually different roms.
Sorry I can't be of any help though. :(

Hey
thanks for the info.
Yea it would be great if they were standardized! Also N64 which is the best emu? I want to play Wrestelmania 2000 but nothing i try seems to run

An honest answer... none of the above.
Since the n64 was the last of the cartridge based systems, the game designers used a lot of tricks to get the most out of the system. Unfortunately this often meant a custom microchip in each cartridge.
Translation: It could be years and years and years before the n64 emulators are even close to perfect. An example of this is the snes. It's what, 10 years old now and has been emulated for about 8 years. They still have problems emulating the few games that had that custom fx chip.
Your best bet is to buy a n64 and play them legitimately. Wrestlemania 2000 had two custom chips if I'm not mistaken... one of them handled the animated textures used for the titan tron videos and I have no clue what the other did but apparently it was important as the game won't run on any system.
