[RELEASE] Delete Excluded Roms

[Tempest]

This program will help you delete any/all roms from your emulators 'excluded roms' list.

Run the program, and you will get a list of emulators that you have setup in GameEx, that are both enabled AND have romnames in the excluded roms list.

Select the Emulator(s) that you want to work with, and And click on 'Preview'.

The roms from the exluded roms list, along with their relationship to the Emulator (and to each other) are shown in a Treeview. If you select a parent item, the children will be selected automatically. The first rom in my CPS-3 list is a romname with more than one file, such as a bin/cue situation. If I expand the tree, I will see all of the files with that romname.

Put a tick in the box to mark any roms that you want to delete, and click 'Delete'. The roms will be deleted, and the romname will be removed from your excluded files list.

Thanks Tempest.

I'm not sure if you meant to say 'Not' or 'Now'.

Thanks Tom. (I think)

Bloody wireless keyboard not quick enough for me.

Did I mention wireless sucked?

EDIT: PS: Check your mail and let me know.

HAHA, wireless made a smarmy sarcastic accolade become a confusing insult.

Version 1.01

a. Bugs Fixed.

b. Roms that are in the excluded list, but not in the roms folder will be prefixed with a *. EG: * Ideletedthismyself.rom

Updated first post.

Thanks to Draco1962 for testing!

Glad to be of help and it helped me as well! Thanks, Tempest!

I just wanna update this post to say thanks to Tempest. This program will help me to clean my list AND (most important) my roms folder a lot.

[Evilforces]

I just use the program and all it has done is clear the list of excluded roms. Now back to have my dirty list and the roms I do not want.

I thought this program erased roms from the original folder, but it seems that all it does is clear the list of excluded roms (do not understand that it serves this)

Any solution?

Depending on where your ROMs are located, you may need to run the tool as administrator. It might be Windows UAC that's preventing the program from operating the way that it's supposed to. Just a guess.

I runned the tool as administrator when this happened....

I do not understand that now I can not see the letters on the list of excluded games emulator I've tried deleting the roms with this utility. If I select the content of the box and paste it in a txt i see the names of my excluded games, but not seen in the textbox excluded games on Gameex ....

Occurs only in the emulator I have used this utility. In the other I see the text properly in the excluded games list on Gameex config.

The other thing that I'm slightly concerned about is the age of this application. It's almost 5 years old at this point, and the GameEx.ini (which this program uses to extract the list of excluded ROMs) has changed a lot in the intervening years. I'm not currently at a place where I can test, but when I have a few minutes I'll try to remember to take a look. It's definitely possible that this utility is no longer compatible with the modern layout of the gameex.ini.

Thanks Null!!!

Please, let me know if you have a solution to delete my excluded roms on my system (Gameex latest version and Win 8.1)

Thanks in advance!!
