Good point! I remember when I set up my MAME + AM system I put all the actual game roms in one folder and all the devices, bioses etc in another folder. Then MAME settings point to both folders, while AM ROM folder setting only points to the "actual games" ROM folder. In this way you should clean up the romlist from drivers etc
This is such a great idea, I'm ashamed I didn't consider it! Probably because I'm not sure how. I'm relatively new to mucking with mame.ini: is that where you point to the drivers, etc.? (in addition to the roms themselves?)
Autotec,
zpaolo11's suggestion sounds a lot less labor-intensive, but because I started with a small number of roms, it was a small matter to remove the items I recognized as devices/drivers and test anything else on a per-"rom" basis. With a full set...yeah, I wouldn't want to deal with that, either! I'd pursue zpaolo11's idea!
