GoodNes 3.14 and No-intro screenshots

[saiyan23]

Hi guys, I'm coming from hyperspin and the one thing I didn't like was the way that the titles of the screenshots and the rom had to be identical. I heard that GameEx didnt have such a restriction. But my question is how?

For starters, I have the GoodNES 3.14 set (.7z archived) and I've downloaded the Dat file for NES and the NES screenshot collection from the No-Intro website here:

http://no-intro.dlgsoftware.net/main.php?lang=1

Or should I have downloaded the DAT file from Dat-o-matic here:

http://datomatic.no-intro.org/

I've already run the "No-Intro Image Renamer" to convert the "CRC_Snaps/Titles" to "Named_Snaps/Titles"

How do I use clrmamepro or other programs to match up with my newly renamed snapshots and roms which number 16,000.... but I don't want 16,000 roms in a directory and that leads to my next question.

I realize that the "[!]" indicates a perfect dump. So how can I filter all of those out of my NES Rom directory? I'm using Windows 7 and the search bar frankly sucks, whenever i search for "[!]" or "(U)" I get everything but.

Thanks in advance for all the help guys, I'm truly stumped!

Well if you're wanting perfect dumps then the best solution would be to rebuild your set to the No-Intro naming convention. They only include those types of dumps in their dats. Dat-o-Matic also gives you options of pruning based on filters (e.g. Language, Region, etc.). Clrmamepro just requires dats and then renames the files based on that dat. There are many tutorials around on how to do so. We can help to a point but to give full directions on how to use clrmamepro would be hard as there are many features and I haven't seen a document yet that covers them all. My knowledge of it comes from years of usage. Try the basics and if you get stuck then we can help you.

There is also a program called Rom Deleter if you want to delete everything except certain roms. Keep in mind that if you want to continue to update your sets, that you will want to make a backup copy for that purpose.
