ArturoGurrola Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hello, I have too big of a collection of Roms now, that I would like to start trimming it. It was easy to do for MAME/Arcade with the All Killer No Filler list in these forums. Now I'm wondering if there are similar lists for other platforms. Sort of like a "consensus" of good games among the Retro Gaming community (forums/reddit/sites). (I don't necessary mean scripts to trim the Romsets, just plain lists would do). Thanks.

Lordmonkus Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I did do my own No Filler Consoles edition but never got around to uploading it. It's just my personal lists of games and I only did systems that I actually care about: Atari 2600 NES N64 PC Engine Sega Genesis Sega Master System Sega SG-1000 SNES / SFC Just remember I did not do any crowd sourcing for games or use any internet "Top Lists". I Just went through a No-Intro rom set and started picking out games that I liked and games that typically were well received by others. I may have missed some games. Here is a zip file containing each platforms rom list, spreadsheet and batch file for pulling a set out of a No-Intro set.

DeadVoivod Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 @Lordmonkus I do that for all my systems, like that way you will have a proper set for yourself, and don't have to care about anymore when adding it somewhere else, like f.ex. handhelds. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it, plus you actually get to play the games. I only update the sets when f.ex. new translation ROMs that I like get released, other than that, I keep the sets the way they are, not even bothering new MAME sets when they come out, I just keep my .210 set with that version of MAME, and don't bother updating all the time, too many games anyway ? Going through a C64 set can take a huge amount of time, but for myself I prefer to do that rather than keeping hundreds of "worthless" games, that just clutter your set and you won't play anyways. That's why it's called a hobby, others work on cars, built boats with toothpicks or paint, I just organize ROMs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Here you'll find what you're looking for. You can either use the playlist files or just look up the game lists in the linked spreadsheets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpop Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 how do you add the playlists, i have put them in the playlist folder, but there not showing up in launchbox or bigbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpent Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Besides a playlist(which still has unwanted ROMs in the folder), is there a way that Launchbox can import/move only filtered games? I mean if not - it would be nice to have that, instead of lengthy tutorials such as this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Yes, just import your Mame rom set like you would any other set instead of the full set import tool. I have a hand picked Mame set in my LB setup and I use Non Merged set roms because they are a fully working game per zip file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, interesting, I put this together by hand so must have been a mistake on my part. Thanks for pointing out the oversight, I'll correct/update it shortly.
