Batch file to delete all horizontal roms
« on: November 08, 2010, 11:23:39 am »
Hey guys, I'm a DOS ID10T. I have all the MAME roms I want in a folder. They're both horizontal & vertical. I was able to create a txt file with all the horizontal games in my folder. How the heck do I delete just the horizontal roms in that folder? I am thinking a batch file, which I do not know the correct commands. Anyone help? Thanks.

Well, all romlister does is create a list file of the vertical games. I already have that. There has to be a way to delete the actual rom files that are not in this list.

have rom lister move all your non horizontal games to another directory then delete the ones that didnt get moved.  easy.

yeap, i was going to say that......the way to do'it its: once you get your roms sorted, you need to save the gamelist as a batch file, name the batch file somenthing like move.bat, run the batch file and like whereeaglesdare says, mmove your roms to a mame directory like c:\mame\roms\vertical
