Organizer Tool for MAME Roms?

[DerDominik]

Hi there,

since a couple of days I'm using Launchbox on my HTPC which is working really, really good!
Now I also want to use MAME roms with it. At first I got a full split set of it.
As this collection is to big to handle in Launchbox I'm searching an organizer tool for that kind of roms.

My suggestion how to use:
One directory with my full split set and one directory with the roms, which I want to use in Launchbox.
In that tool I choose all my games, and it moves all necessary files (like BIOS and parent/clone) into the second "Launchbox"-directory.
Also it should be possible to remove unnecessary games (like mechanical and so on).
 

Has someone a recommandation for that kind of tool?


Thanks and best regards :-)

The MAME importer in LB will a filter out a lot of games, such as mechanical.  Launchbox MAME Importer

I used to keep a small specific set of about 400 MAME roms on my LB setup, but the new tools make handling MAME so much easier.

I start with the importer above, removing things like broken, mechanical, fruit games, adult titles etc. After that within LB you can hide games you don't want to see. This is nice since it helps performance but you also have the ability to view the hidden games and unhide them if you later choose so. Have a friend over that says, "I used to play this game...." a few click and you've added it in. No moving roms, or hunting down variants, etc.
