removing dup games in Console emulators?
« on: March 30, 2005, 01:57:00 pm »
is there a way to to just get one version of a game for Console emulators of SNES, GBA,N64,Sega etc.  I would like to be able to have it remove the (J) version if a (U) version exist and remove any extra versions like (b) (b1).  I know this can be done one by one but was wondering if there is a  program to do this

GoodGUI is your friend. It will sort them into seperate folders if you ask it too. You'll also need the applicable goodtool for each console.

The goodtools series is certainly a comprehensive approach to accomplishing what you want to do but as someone recently pointed out to me, simple steps such as

D:\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS\> MD JAPAN
D:\EMU\ZSNES\ROMS\> MOVE *(J)*.* JAPAN

can be a quick way to get the same thing done if the filenames for what you need to sort through are already standardized.

Worked for me, YMMV.

Aaah the power of command.com and wildcards should never be underestimated. However GoodGUI does simplify it for the novice.

the only problem is he needs an "if" clause in there some how... he wants to only remove (j) games if there is a (u) version... but steve's advice will work for the most part

Exactly I want to remove dup games. example if there is a mario(u), mario(J), mario(1b) etc I want to just keep Mario(u).  Regarding Goodgui what does it do? Sort?  my goal is just to end up with one version of each game.

  GoodGUI runs on top of Good<whatever console>.  It will help you with all that stuff...
