little batch file help

[ReFleX]

My batch file skills are really bad... so maybe someone can help me here.

I'm switching over to using MESS for 7800 emulation. The problem I have right now is that some roms are PAL and some are not and there are two different systems in MESS for dealing with this. So I need to right a simple batch file that will look at the filename and run one system if it has PAL in it, or run the other if not.

Anyone out there that can tell me how to do this?

I can't do a batch file, but I can script something for you. Please provide examples of filenames, and their respective commands. Unless of course someone does a batch for you first...

Assuming you can create two different rom folders for the different regions Another option would be to create a seperate emulator for each and then put them in a group.

I thought about that Tom, but I'm using the 7-zip support so I would rather keep all the roms in one folder.

Tempest... What I was thinking was if I could take the rom that is extracted from GameEx and look if it contains '(PAL)' then I would need to run 'mess.exe a7800p -cart "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"'

If it doesn't then I need to run 'mess.exe a7800 -cart "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"'

I dont think it will do it, but you could look at hk's command line plugin.
