Title: Generate a Gamelist based on ROMS in folder
Post by: BamBam on October 04, 2009, 12:17:14 pm

Hi,

I am running the latest version of MALA with MAME .0128.  I have 999 of my favourite games that are within my ROMS folder.  I have removed all of the ROMS I do not want in order to save space on my system.  I was wondering if there was a way for me to create a game list within MALA that will only display the ROMS that I have in my "d:\MAME\Roms" folder.  Do I also need to create a new Catlist winthin MAME too?
Thanks.

Game On!

Just set your main game list to display only those roms that you have:

It's so easy to make gamelists in Mala: you have your game folder with the roms you want and then you just point mala to the folder. This is the same no matter if its a big MAME folder or a smaller folder for another system. Just remember if your zip or other game files are in folders of their own then put a tic i the option 'search subfolders'.
