Drybonz Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Anyone know if there is an easy way to delete all the poker and mahjong games from your MAME romset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I actually opened a mahjong game tonight and didn't have a clue on how to play I understood that the corresponding letter on keyboard played the tile with that letter but I simply didn't understand what is going on with the game.

Drybonz Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yeah, I don't have any interest in those games and my romset is about 60gb, so I want to get rid of some of that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 There are programs like ROMlister which can filter your MAME romset. I don't use it myself but it should be worth to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks, I just checked it out... I have tried a couple others like this too. One of the big problems is that the .xml and .ini files they require don't seem to be updated and maintained any more. I found the most recent ones I could and ran it. Instead of deleting the rom files from your rom set, it outputs a file that I think your MAME version or front end is supposed to use as a filter to not show those games, but I couldn't figure out how to use it with MAMEUIFX. So, good looking out, I appreciate it... but still can't figure out how to simply delete those roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My method to do this is with the tool 'Rom Folder Cleaner' and the current HyperSpin MAME database. But it requires having RocketLauncher installed and MAME already set up in it. If you don’t use RocketLauncher could this method be a little bit too much work for such a minor task but if you want I could write a tutorial how to do it. The much easier method would be to just import your whole MAMEset in LaunchBox, then using the genre filter, go to the genres you don’t want and then delete all the games in this genre.

DOS76 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think that the OP wants to completely remove the games from his HDD not just LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
