Bezel Rom Extractor v1.0

Bezel Rom Extractor V1.0

Well, i made an application in Excel VBA that extracts the correct ROM files so that the bezels and rom file names match (see attachement).

Why:

The Bezel Project uses the No Intro Rom Sets. The Bezel Project has bezels with mixed regions (per game i.e. USA or Europe). The bezels are sometimes USA and sometimes Europe, etc. The No Intro Rom Sets from Arcadepunks have all the regions for that game (usually a game is present in 2 or 3 regions like USA, Europe and other). You cannot simply select the usa roms because the bezels sometimes are europe. For the same reason you cannot simpy use the Europe roms. You have to filter manually all bezel and roms so that they match. This program makes it easy to line up the roms to the bezels.

It assumes:

• You are using the Bezel Project for windows
• You are using the No Intro Rom Sets
• ROMs have a 3 digit extension (.xxx)
• The No Intro ROM Set has per game:      multiple regions    (Usa AND Europe, and maybe some other)
• The Bezel Project has per game:              one region              (Usa OR Europe) (The region varies per game, it is not all Usa or all Europe, THIS IS THE MAIN PROBLEM)

How it works:

• It looks at BEZEL files in the bezel file directory (.CFG).
• It looks if the exact same ROM file name exists in rom directory.
• If BEZEL and ROM match it will copy/extract the ROM to a choosen directory. 

How to use:

1. Select the BEZEL directory
2. Select the No Intro ROM Set directory
3. Select the OUTPUT directory
4. Click button to Extract The ROMS......
