ROMLister Feature Request: Load a Saved Working List
« on: January 18, 2013, 10:55:23 am »
Thanks to NOP for the wonderful ROMLister program.

I have been using it for some time and really got to use it recently in building the 200 games list here: forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,129295.msg1322055.html

It would be nice to be able to save and load the working lists back into ROMLister to continue working on the list.

ROMLister can obviously save the working list in many formats. 

Could you please add the ability to load at least one of the saved list formats as the ROMLister Working List?

Thank you very much!

yeah, that's been on the todo list for awhile.

I'll need to stare are the code for awhile to see where the best/easiest place to add something like that will be.  No ETA, but I will keep thinking about it.

glad you are otherwise finding it useful...

Thanks NOP,

ROMLister is the best way to find out about MAME games.  :applaud:

I keep it on a flash drive with the merged XML file.

Along with making gamelists ROMLister is helpful when planning builds and deciding what controls to include.

The question came up as to which 4 player games have 4 buttons, a few clicks in ROMLister provided the answer.

Anyone who misses MAWS should also give it a try.
