Sorting Roms

[Visitor Q]

I need to rebuild my Mame collection to sort all the light guns into one dir. Never did this before but I am figuring there is some way to achieve this with Clr Mame Pro?

Thanks to any that reply.

First off, why do you need to do that? Secondly, you can do it with RomLister by generating a batch file if you are careful about how you build your list.

If what you are trying to do is set up a second emulator to run gun games on, then you can just use a filter with the mameemumap.ini file. It all depends on what your goal is what I can suggest.

Building a rom set for my touchscreen monitor.

So I got RomLister and made a .csv file for the light gun game but for the life of me I can't figure out how to load that file in Clr to rebuild just that rom set. =?

There's an easier way. With Romlister you can create a batch file to move the selected files to another folder. Just run the batch file after Romlister makes it an presto. Romlister will let you specify the destination directory.

I must be missing something.. Isnt there in oprion in gameex already to show only lightgun games? Wouldn't this be a better option then to duplacate your set to and setup a diffrent emu?

Perhaps there are other reasons.

I'm assuming he wants to set up only the light gun games on a separate system -- not on the same machine.

Perhaps.. Harddrives are so cheap. A full mame set (just roms) is like 16gig... Heck I have a thumbdrive that can hold that. Others like Carnevil and Area51 do need the CHDs.. Model2 also emulates some newer lightgun games... I was just courious.

Kinda funny imagining playing light gun games on a touch screen. Poke the zombie in his eye with your finger.

That works well, thank you. Still wish I could remember how to use that .csv file in ClrMamePro. I know I have done it before but either way, I got what I need.

Thanks for all the suggestions and to all who replied.

ps. Different PC than my Mame Cab and what is why I did not just use the setting talked about in Game Ex.
