Hi all,
I have about 600 video & wheel files and about 7,000 roms. I managed to name the video/wheel art to the rom names using FatMatch, but now I want to remove the roms that don't have any art/video files. What would be the best way to compare these 3 folders?
-
In FatMatch* use artwork folder as rom, and rom as artwork - run the program at best match (should be 100% match in results which match). Ok to rename which will move the correct roms to a new folder. Move the rest of roms somewhere else (don't delete before checking) and matched roms back to its original position :D

I use an app called "Beyond Compare" and it works really well!
I use it all the time, it can match files with different extension, eg you can match mp4/png snaps/boxart/cartart against your roms.
You can then see the orphans (files that don't match to artwork) and delete them right from the app.
