Well depending on the naming convention of your roms the following will give you some idea of how to list only USA roms or others based on your search criteria.

Just enter the following in the Rom Filter setting in Emulator Setup:

*USA*.zip

thanks,bud

yea,this doesnt seem to work.my nes games are in 7z format,so in the rom filter line i put *USA*.7z,but it still shows all games

what I think I must do is to actually make a romset w\o japanese games in it

Well that could be one way of doing it. What naming convention are your roms? USA is the filter for no-intro. If it's goodmerged then it would be U. So in turn USA would not work for goodset romset. I gave an example and also stated that it depends on the naming convention. The info I gave does work with the no-intro set as I tested. I just need more info.

they are no-intro,but its cool because I just made a set w\o japanese games,cause to be perfectly honest,I have no need what so ever for japanese games as I do not read or write japanese!

as always,I am appreciative of your help frequency

BTW,what games are you into?once Im all set up again ill always be ready for some 2 player online action

LOL. No problem. That would have been the easiest solution. I tend to want to keep my romsets intact which is why I either use filters or use custom map files to list only what I want.

I'm into any game. I've been a gamer since a child. To the point where I even competed locally in tournaments so I'm down to play whatever when it comes to games.

For other users who had this question....are they single roms in those 7zip files? Or multiple ones like goodmerged? Trying to figure out why it didn't work for you doing that.

yea im wondering that also,im going to try with my no-intro full genesis set,so in the rom filter line i just put *USA*.zip?

Yes. Maybe applying the filter didn't work cuz the rom names were cached. Probably best to delete the map file of that emulator to refresh the list to verify cuz like I said, it worked for me when I tested for you before posting.

frequency,are you familiar with clrmamepro?

Yes. Very familiar.

[mesk]

Yes. Very familiar.

ok,great.then maybe you can tell me why I cannot rebuild roms into 7z,there is no issue rebuilding into .zip or .rar,but when i select 7z i get this message "do you want to stop? error while adding c:program files clrmamepro\temp\(rom name)to c:users\gen(rom name)7z do you want to stop the rebuliding process

i get that when trying to make 1g1r romsets,but only if i rebuild to 7z,zip and rar work w\o issues

I see that you posted in the clrmamepro forums as well and still didn't get the fix? LOL. Well here ya go.......Are you sure you're pointing to your 7z.exe in your settings? If not then that would explain the error.

In clrmamempro:

• Click on settings button
  
• Click on Compressor... button
  
• Click on 7Z tab
  
• Enter location of 7z.exe into editbox (in my case, C:\Program Files\7-zip\7z.exe)
  
• Click OK button
  
• Retry to rebuild again
