    Any chance you could do one for a "Genres" Catagory as well please as I only need one for Playlists and One for Genres in 16:9 to have a complete set.

    Personally I like the design of the of the one that was done for "Favorites" as that would be a good look for both Playlists & Genres

    Sure, no problem. I'll add it to my work queue.

    Could you please do a video for a ''playlist'' category please? Cheers!

    Sure, but I need some ideas as to what you want to see. Any mock-ups, or pictures that help getting your thoughts across would also be helpful.

  3. I don't think it supports specifying the rom to load via command line. You either load it from the menu, or you have to manually edit some options in the main Wataroo.ini file for each rom (the autoload and cdf settings). At least that is how it used to be. I haven't tried using Wataroo for a while.

    Unless I'm blind... I don't see the "Atari Classics" video anywhere.  It's the only one of the Arcade Classics that I can't find.  I swear I've been through the download list like three times.

    Look under my Nostalgia Additions videos. I have an Atari Classics in both the 16:9 and 4:3 sections.

    I tend to be a fan of having an entire series. That said I'm not sure that is the best option here. This is a no filler list and I think a lot of that stuff is so similar having a bunch of them could very much feel like filler. I don't think there is a one rule fits all solution here. I think you're going to have to make judgement calls on which entries in a series deserve to be there or if you are unsure maybe put it too a vote. I think it should also depends on how many entries a series has too. I don't see a problem with MK1,2, 3 and 4 for example. each entry has significant differences. However for Street fighter I think some would need pruning., definitely so for King of Fighters and Guilty Gear.

    What @spectral said. :)

  6. I personally use a split set. I hesitate voting for a merged set because I have to be careful of an Internet cap each month. I come close to exceeding the cap way too often as it is.

    Having said that, I fully support whatever the majority decide. This is a wonderful effort.

    I personally think that the number of separate items should not exceed 500. I know I used to only use an updated version of the MAME 0.139 set which is much smaller than what we have today in a full, up to date set.

    I need a way to directly convert the file from 7zip to GZ. As I don't have enough room to extract all my games out of the current .7z format. I have a feeling I may need to buy another hdd :(.

    There is no way to directly convert from 7zip to GZ without an intermediate step of uncompressing the 7zip first. I have created and tested a batch file with included 7z.exe to give you what you want. Drop the zip file in the same directory as your 7z files and uncompress it. Next run the 7z2gz.bat file. It will create all the temporary files, directories, etc. required to convert one file at a time, so you only need, at maximum, twice the disk space of your largest image. Note: this will take a while depending on how many images you need to convert. I also recommend you do a test run using only one or two of your files in a separate area to make sure everything behaves as it should. I make no guarantee this script won't delete all your images! :) Having said that, like I said above, I did test this on a subset of my images with no problems observed.
