Import Merged MAME Roms to List All Clones in "Additional Apps"

[rrangerrich2001]

Hello,

What I am trying to do is import only a few games using the Merged files from a ROM Set.  I don't want to import all the games in the set, so I am not using the "Import MAME Arcade Full Set".

But I would like all the clones to show up in the "Additional Apps" listing so that I can choose which one I want to play.

Is there a way to import them to accomplish this, or do I need to add all the clones manually?

Thanks,

Rich

If you are wanting to only import a selection of ROMs, then it's better if you use a non-merged set. Our ROM import wizard will import one game per file. Therefore, it cannot tell that a number of different clones are within that one file or not. A non-merged set provides one file per clone, and all files are self-contained and work independently without the need for extra dependency files.

Due to the nature of a merged set, it really should only be used if you use the MAME Arcade Full Set Import wizard.

Hello,

Thanks for the info.

I like using the merged sets better.  I guess that I will just add the additional apps manually or by editing the xml file.

One other question though.  Is there a way to get all the bezels for the Additional Apps to download when updating the Metadata and Media?

Thanks,
