Ok, you must use commandline arguments to start the exe.
In your case, Tag2Romlist -path . -romlist Favorites.txt -sort
Will not work just to double-click on the exe.

Hi, well that's what this program does.
If you got your romlists with .tag files in e.g. C:\Attract\romlists, you can run this program like this:
Tag2Romlist -path C:\Attract\romlists -romlist Favorites.txt -sort
It will then create a Favorites.txt in c:\Attract\romlists directory.
In my …\romlists directory, i got many .tag files. (Commodore 64.tag, Arcade.tag, Metal Slug Collection.tag etc...),
They have corresponding .txt files which contains all of their roms. (Commodore 64.txt, Arcade.txt Metal Slug Collection.txt etc....)
Check your ...\romlists and make sure you've got .tag files and .txt files there.
You can run the .exe from anywhere. I have made a shortcut on my desktop for easy execution.

Build for 64-bit windows. Maybe you need some redistributables installed.

General / Generate romlist from .tag files

Hi, I'm using attract mode on the pc (Windows 10) and was looking for a script or something to generate my favorites romlist from the favorites tags created in attract mode.
I did find a .bat script for doing this, but it took several minutes to complete. Couldn't find any way in attract mode either to create a romlist based on the tags.
So i created this little tool in a hurry, which will run through your .tag files, find the corresponding romlist.txt and create a new romlist with those tags.
In short: Use this tool to create your favorites.txt (or whatever) romlist
Written in c++, and is very fast.
Exe and Source included for free.
Example of usage:
Tag2Romlist -path C:\Attract\romlists -romlist Favorites.txt -sort
This will create a new file in C:\Attract\romlists with the name Favorites.txt
If the file already exist, a backup will be made automatically.
Because of the -sort option, all of the entries in Favorites.txt are sorted.
