General / Deleting MAME Roms outside my list ?
« on: June 20, 2017, 05:27:07 AM »
Hello, I recently built and MAME machine, downloaded a gigantic ROM set (about 53GB) to it, and generated a .txt list to use with AM.
Everything is working well, and all games that I actually care are in showing up in the front-end just fine, BUT, my ROMS folder is still about 60GB
, which surely doesn't seem to be very space efficient ...
I was wondering, is there any software that I can use to delete all those roms that i filtered ? I mean, on AM list, i can't see any mature, mahjong, physical or non-working games, and I see no problem on wiping them from my HDD.
I google for a while and I found some softwares, like RomLister, CLRMAME, and a couple other stuff. but they didn't see to do exactly what I want, they just hide the games.
I don't know if it is any help, but i generated the .txt list using Lightspeed, but I don't think I had the option to delete the roms that were out the list.
Many thanks.
