Clean up romsets? Titles
« on: February 02, 2017, 03:58:33 AM »
Ok so i've got romsets for most systems  ::), most variations of games such as v1.2 v1.3 (PAL) (NTSC) (DE) (EU) etc
Is there any other way of automating it? are there any tools? So i can get the orginal names its alot cleaner for title showing
on attract mode :) it looks so unsorted at this moment  :-[ with a lot of games

I have a function for layouts that I use. I can share after work when I am home.

Edit: maybe I make it with a few other functions I use as a module so it's easy for other layouts to use.

Ok so I am guessing you have "rom packs" three tools to clean mine are rom deleter and clrmame pro and romlister

rom deleter to clean out "cruft" https://sites.google.com/site/plumology/romdeleter

and clrmame pro to rename and zip (yes it works for more than just mame roms) http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/
(dats for clrmame pro http://datomatic.no-intro.org/

and romlister (for mame roms) to create batch files to remove unwanted games. https://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/
(cut my advmame roms in half for my pi saved 7GB)

more stuff here http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=314.0 and here http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=904.0

Remember to back up all your roms before using any tools!

Don't need all that renaming roms and lists. I'll have that module out soon. I had to work doubles and crap. Have tonight and tomorrow off.

Ps if you use my theme "flavors", it already has this implemented.
