What ROM name is what game?
Encryptor:
Is there a listing or a program some where that tells what game each ROM is? Something besides the funky names some of the ROMs have.

Mame can do that:
mame.exe -listfull > games.txt

Thank you very much for the info. Ok. If you don't mind here's another. I'm using Mamewah for a frontend. Is there any way to make them list with their proper names either through the frontend or have mame pass the right names to the frontend? I hope that's not too confusing.

I haven't really had much experiance with it yet but I know it has to do with the list_generation_method. You need it to compare your rom files with the known list of available games. It works for me when I use the default list_generation_method for mame of rom_folder_vs_listxml. Here is a copy of my mame.ini:
### mame.ini (mamewah v1.62) ###
emulator_title MAME
### List Generation Settings ###
rom_path C:\Emulation\Mame32\roms
rom_extension zip
dat_file auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].dat
nms_file auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].nms
catver_ini_file auto:[emuexepath]\catver.ini
list_generation_method rom_folder_vs_listxml
### Execution Settings ###
pre_emulator_app_commandlines
emulator_commandline C:\Emulation\Mame32\mame32.exe "[rompath]\[name].[romext]"
post_emulator_app_commandlines
general_app_commandlines
### Artwork Settings ###
artwork_image_paths auto:[emuexepath]\snap;[emuexepath]\titles;[emuexepath]\marquee;

Don't know if it'll help, but hopefully.
Later,

I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. I know I couldn't even get a list until I took the listxml part of this
statement "rom_folder_vs_listxml" out. I also don't know where you got the
auto:[emuexepath]\[emuexename].dat
statement. Below is my ini file and it doesn't have those statements. I had to put the paths in my ini file.
