You could also stack lists to make a master list. I think a lot of filter lists and batch files that copy ROMs are based of specific DATs in time and are outdated with the next release whereas this would allow you to be a bit more dynamic with new releases and generate a current correct ROM set. The clones make up a much larger part of the games list by several hundred so it's nice that you only need to track the parent. I don't believe parent ROMs change to often and if they do it would be only a matter of changing the name in the list like sf2 to sfi2 for example. So basically by listing the 70 or 80 CPS games you could generate new DATs after an update with very little changes after the initial setup. The advantage being is you only need to track parent ROMs and not clones as they are automatically linked to the parent. With a list like this it would be pretty easy to pull parent ROMs only or parent + clones. ![]() Basically if you had a list of parent ROM names in a text file with one per line like so: ![]() If you're set and good to go then no worries. I don't think it would be to much really and only initially. I was thinking about this over the weekend and there might be another way but requires a bit more work.
