You said 'For instance' , and I don't know how to do this for MameWah, in mala you use the GameList editor.

That would just clean up the name (unless I am misunderstanding).  He wants to filter out the non-usa roms. 


The easiest way is to run them through goodtools.  By default it'll seperate them into folder by country and then you have a manual filter by directory.

If you know how to use goodtools already then just select the dir option before you start. This will automatically separate the games into various region folders. If you've never used goodtools go here: http://www.allgoodthings.us/mambo/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=42 (http://www.allgoodthings.us/mambo/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=42)
