jd79 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hey folks, Maybe not the best place to post...just wanted to get an and idea and maybe some input.Been a long time since I set my old arcade cabinet up and can't remember the app I used to filter out all the MAME games you don't want to see. Any suggestions on a good tool/application to create the xml database filtered by gametype/controller type etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brolly Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Romlister is probably the tool you used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd79 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks Brolly, yeah it was.I'm really surprised by how much the rom set has grown in size...iirc the last version I was using was 0.133 that must have been about 20 gig, now 0.148 seems to be double that (excluding CHD's n samples).

brolly Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 That's mostly because mechanical stuff like fruit machines has been added to the Mame set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd79 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 That would explain it, seems like quite a few more Asian n Japanese sets as well. Got the Romlister to prune it down to a slightly more manageable 1500 games instead of nearly 30k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
