Mame NMS File Generator

[jcrouse]

I'm not sure if anyone would ever need this but I figured I'd make it available. It hasn't been tested much but should be pretty bug free due to the simplicity of the code.

Requirements:
Microsoft .Net Framework
Mame 0.94 or later
Windows 2000 or Windows XP

You can grab it at http://home.comcast.net/~cpviewer/applications.htm

Enjoy,
John

I added automatic sorting of the list so it is now alphabetical.

OK, what does this do? what's an NMS file?


This is a comment I have for most of your page JCrouse, most downloads aren't described.

If you have to ask you will not need this. That being said, an NMS files takes an actual rom name and converts it to something more user friedly for the front end to display in its game list. It must be supported by the front end.

a typical entry would be something like:

Donkey Kong|dkong

with the part before the "|" being the rom name and the part after the "|" being the user freindly part.

Cool thanks.

Just to add that NMS files aren't usually required for MAME (fe's can get the name from -listxml or whatever).  They are usually used for emulators which can only handle 8.3 filenames.

I know John is using this for a special case...
