  1. I found a nice solution for anyone wanting to scrape WHDLoad games and use winuaeloader. I downloaded the hyperspin xml, and put it in a folder I called "LBSCRAPING", which I put as a subdirectory of my WHD game files (the zip files). Then I just ran this little powershell script from the LBSCRAPING folder: [xml]$XmlDocument = Get-Content -Path '.\Commodore Amiga.xml' foreach ($game in $XmlDocument.menu.game) { if (Test-Path "..\$($game.name).zip") { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Name $game.description New-Item -ItemType File -Name "$($game.name).zip.zip" -Path ".\$($game.description)\" } else { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Name "_MISSING-$($game.description)" } } This will load all the folder names and game file names from the XML, then compare them to the files you have in the parent directory, and create a matching folder and <game file name>.zip.zip whithin (LB strips the extension, which is why the script does a double zip extension). It will create a "missing" folder if there is no match between the XML data and your collection. I suggest getting KG's WHDLoad Packs, as it's an almost perfect match, though multiple versions don't exist in the hyperspin xml file, and thus will be ignored. A simple script to delete the versions that dont get importet, could be made in a simmilar fashion, if you don't care about having all sorts of amiga game versions. In the end you simple import ROMs from the LBSCRAPING folder, and use folder names instead of ROM names for matching.. With the emulator only append the filename, and winuaeloader will find the game via the path configured within the tool itself. See my config below: BONUS: If you like me downloaded the WinUAE Loader, and get annoyed by the WHDLoad Register notice, just put the attached WHDLoad file into "WINUAELOADER\WHD\C", its the newest WHDLoad version, which is free and requires no registration! (Perfectly legal!) WHDLoad
