How Can I Eliminate Duplicate Console Roms?
« on: May 25, 2003, 06:05:53 pm »
Is there a program out sthere that I can use to scan by console rom directory and eliminate the duplicate roms. I have a cluttered mess as US and Japanese rom releases for the same games.

Use goodtools (windows)
It load goodgens and u set some options and it renames roms and splits them to a number of dir's including jap , dupes , {1} perfect and USA etc.
Then delete the rom directories u dont want.Works good :o

Could you give me a sample command line for sorting them into directories?

Thanks
