game list query
« on: January 06, 2004, 03:21:10 pm »
I've got some screenshots of Stuzza's site and when I rename the roms with goodtools to match the screenshot name for use with mamewah the list displays the extra info in game title (U)[!] etc. Is there a dat file or something you can use to create the game list so it only shows the game name and not the extra info. Thanks

There is a function in MAMEWAH which will remove anything trailing in (brackets) in custom lists only...

The problem with the type you listed is that there are [square brackets] too - I only had MAME in mind when I wrote that part really :(

Not sure if there is another workaround, not a massive console man myself...

For myself, using the NES and SNES emu's I whittled the 8000+ and 6000+(respectively) roms down to about 600 for each of them, that is whats kept in the playable directory. Ive got the full sets zipped up on a disc, and its just 1 rom per game, no hacks or alternates or country specifc where possible.

Once I had my 'good' set I renamed everything without the () and [] stuff at the end, did the same with the snaps, and it's fine

THis is using advanceMenu. I think there might be an option to trunc the display name after ( but im not sure
