Hey folks,

I'm in the position now, where i can finally grab me an EmuMovies lifetime sub, BUT i will only do it if i can get my MAME list sorted.

Basically, i only want to download vids for the games on my GameEx list. There are approx 6K games, but the whole set is 29K. Usually, you will point to a directory, and the artwork downloader will compare that folder and go on with business. However, the MAME directory has rediculous amounts of excess! I don't want to download vids to all that!

So, is there a way i can grab my GX MAME List, and only download vids relevant to it?

I'll listen to all workarounds :D

Ahh it doesn't really work that way. Sorry. :(

I just personally keep a full artwork set.

I suppose you could manually download them, but it would be a huge time eater.

I would think that it is at least a possibility that you could cull your set, and the down loader would only pull down snaps for those titles that remained, but this is only a guess. This would of course become quite cumbersome with continued MAME releases.

I sort of look at it like the extra's, no way I need it all, but it is what it is, and I'd rather lose some storage space than screw with it.

I suspected as much. I had a backup plan of using RomLister to get a rough list of roms into a directory and use that as my comparison folder, if you guys had no trade secrets to offer :) It's not ideal but should give me what i need to save some space. I'm ok with having a few missing, more so than i am having a few thousand over :P

Thanks anyways chaps!
