Too many console games!
DanteBK:
Has anyone come up with a method or written a program to take 8,000 NES ROMs or 3,500 SNES ROMs (or whatever) and get rid of all the unnecessary duplicates?
I spent about a half hour manually deleting Gameboy duplicates and hadn't yet got to D before I wanted blow my brains out. I can't imagine why there'd be so many versions of Boomer's Adventures in Asmik World.
Industen:
A program already exsists that does this exact thing. It's called goodtools and will rename, remove, and sort all your ROMS for you.

I did it manually although I did not have an astronomical amount of duplicates like you. Familiarize yourself with the good codes (http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/gtguide.htm#section5). That way you can do searches based on the code and delete some of the useless roms in one swipe. I'd delete any roms containing and [h] codes to start. Then I'd find all of the roms and sort those for the front end list.

As recommended above, you should use Goodtools to get your console sets down to a manageable number. I tend to use only the USA sets in my cab. You use the "dirs" command line option with the appropriate goodtools program to sort the roms into directories based on country, hacks etc...
DanteBK:
I can't figure it out. :(
I'm using GoodSNES ... at the command prompt in my ROMs folder, with the EXE the CFG and the zlib.dll file in the same folder ... I type GoodSNES move dirs and it just moves EVERYTHING into SNESRen
Whatever I'm doing wrong is probably obvious and really stupid, but I've been doing this for 45 minutes and I'm not getting anywhere. Help would, as always, be appreciated.
EDIT: I figured it out! I downloaded a GUI and it used rename dirs instead and that worked. So anyway, alls well that ends well. Never mind! ;D
