Rom naming

[Tommy1981]

I've noticed certain games with versions in the names get skipped when downloading media. Dreamcast collection did this alot due to version numbers in the names. Anyone have any tips or lists I can use to rename my roms to ensure my roms will have the best chance at getting media downloaded for them. I mostly use no-intro and redump collections. 

Also, is there a tool or simi-easy way to rename the roms and media files I already have at the same time? I've manually added in 100's or maybe even 1,000's of the missing box art pictures. Mostly the front 2D & 3D covers. 

Thank you

This is a good bulk renamer that has been recommended more than a few times here. I have not used it yet, but several of the more experienced forum members have referred to it in prior posts about bulk renaming roms.

If they are in folders named after the game title minus the numbers you can use the checkbox in the import forms to use folder names instead of file names.
