Deleting unwanted roms
shardian:
Awesome! You rule. It works great now. I just have to add "& vertical" to each search just like you said.
NOP:
glad to hear that it's working finally.
I've had to tech support this a couple times now, and I think it would be a pretty easy thing to have the software figure out what monitor orientation search string to use. Next time I dig into that code, I'll make the change so that others won't have to go through that headache again.

shardian:
Hate to bug you again, but the batch file does not seem to be working. I created a batch file, and it appeared to generate properly in the romlister prog. When I run the batch file from within my roms directory, with the batch file set to copy roms to a new folder within c:\mame called "vert roms", nothing happens.
When I pause the batch file, I notice that for each rom file it either says "The system cannot find the file name specified", or "The syntax of the command is incorrect". The error messages alternate.
A typical command line during the run of the batch file appears as so:
C:\mame\roms>copy rescue.zip C:\mame\vert roms
EDIT before I even finished typing:
It appears that due to the command line functionality, you cannot have spaces in your folder names. Just wanted to point that out for fellow command line retards like myself. After I renamed the folder and reset the batch file, it worked fine.

You can enclose folder names that have spaces with quotes to get it to work properly.

They changed the way monitor orientation was described in the xml file somewhere in the 0.100's (IIRC), and switched it from being "orientation=vertical" to "rotate=90" or "rotate=270"
So if you're using an earlier version of mame, you will have to change this by hand.
To quickly test this theory, remove the "& (rotate=90 | rotate=270)" from your search string window at the bottom of the screen, and try it again.
If that brings up matches, click on the "input file" radio button look under view, to get back to the XML view, and look around somewhere in the big text window and you should see some keyword about monitor orientation (it'll probably say "orientation=vertical" or similar). That's the keyword you want.
You could probably just replace the "& (rotate=90 | rotate=270)" with "& vertical" and I just bet it'll start working.

...slow day at work today, so...
I have *finally* (I hope!) fixed this issue.

build 009 automagically switches between the two descriptions for monitor orientation depending on which version of MAME's xml file that you use as input.
