FIGHTER (317)Fighter / VersusStreet Fighter, Mortal Kombat, The King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Samuari Showdown etc. Lets start out with opening our “Platform” directory ensuring that it is displaying in list mode “Alphabetically” now in RomLister lets query “@X & @C & @P” When that has pulled up we can resize and place both windows next to each other, in the Rom Lister Window click on “roms” so the rom Name is listed Alphabetically now we can simply scroll through the roms 1 by 1 and delete what we don’t want and as they are next to each other we can see the zip file name and quickly delete it from our “Platform” Folder.

Set the path to the mame.exe file, give the version.xml file a name, and click [Create Mame List]. You should have that 600GB Rom set down to 12GB or Less at this point.

There is no rlmacros.txt file to be found. For instance, game "name=32x" is obviously not a game. Do!, Dig Dug, Neo Mr. Do!
Again, AntoPISA has a great set. The other MAME reference years are included in this or do I need to download all the years separately? So the final part is more manual intensive than previously, though instead of where we started we are left with ~1500 or less roms which is by far more manageable, and on top of that I broke these into smaller groups so we can take our time getting rid of what we don’t want, without forgetting where we left off.

Well in case you’re not aware, here’s the kicker! This will give us a list of Games That work but are “Imperfect” Like Galaga, Virtua Fighter, Ms. Pac-Man etc. Remember this search string from previously? Now that we have everything, ensure that you have Installed MAME vx.xx, Opened the Settings and have it pointed to the Correct roms Directory; (CHD’s Should be in the Same Directory but Sub-folder.)
