djwar Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Just now, lordmonkus said: Unfortunately there is no easy way unless you can find a bat file already made to copy them out to a new folder. The easiest solution barring really shitty internet is to re-download a NeoGeo only rom set. The rom set has not changed for the newer versions of Mame or the rom set for that version. I think I have an idea Lordmonkus, correct me if Im wrong.. in the platform dropdown, select publisher to filter it and then select snk to see which games I have, and just go for those but Im not quite sure about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 You could try that out. Now are you just wanting to import your whole Mame set and then change the platform for the NeoGeo games while leaving the rom files in with all your Mame roms or are you wanting to have all your NeoGeo roms in a separate folder ?

Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 While that will show your NeoGeo games it will also show Neogeo Pocket some arcade games and also all games made by SNK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwar Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Just neo geo in separate folder correct. I found lightspeed, you think it will work to move the neogeo rom files out of my mame rom set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ok here, I cannot guarantee this will work for you but a quick test worked for me. Here is a bat file that I made to first create a NeoGeo folder and then copy all the rom files into the folder it created. I generated this list from my NeoGeo rom set which should have the same names as the Mame files. It should include every game rom and bios file. If your file extensions are 7z instead of zip just use the bulk edit of notepad to change it. Just drop the bat file into the same folder as your NeoGeo roms and run it. I do not know what will happen if it runs into a file that is not in your folder. NeoGeo Copy.bat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Very handy @lordmonkus technically it could work for every system by people just doing what you did for other systems. KUDOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 If you have a neogeo folder already created in your Mame folder it will just copy them in. There is no point in dropping this bat file into an empty folder because it will have nothing to copy out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I created this was: I generated a txt file of the folder contents using the command line: dir /s /b > list.txt Then I opened it in Notepad++ and used the bulk find and replace to remove the folder tree from each line and replace it with the copy command so all that was left was copy romname.zip. Then to add the folder I was copying to the end of each line using the bulk edit again. In the bulk edit tool I turned on Regular expression at the bottom. In the "Find what" field I just simply put in $ and in the "Replace with" field I put in NeoGeo with a space in front of it so it was " NeoGeo". The space was important or else it just tacked on the end with no space. Renamed the file with the extension .bat and ran it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked but... but for instance, alpha mission it only copied to neogeo the alpha mission 2 not alpha mission 1 will it be possible to make this bat file to move files instead of copy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah just use the bulk edit function in notepad to change copy to move. And there is no Alpha Mission 1 for the NeoGeo, it was before the NeoGeo so it's not part of the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yeahh works brill @lordmonkus and not as steep a learning curve as other programs like romlister etc well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Cool, glad it worked. Romlister and other programs like it are good for what they do. The only reason I was able to do this so quickly was because I already had a full romset pulled out in it's own folder already to generate a txt file and edit accordingly. I will make a couple of different bat files for zip and 7z, move and copy and upload them to the utilities download page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well the bat file is 265 lines long minus the first 2 lines making it 263 including bios files. My romset was the full set from that one rom site we all know about but cannot speak the name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
