Convert Hyperspin favorites.txt to LaunchBox/BigBox favorites?

[cnsf3778]

I have a list of 483 favorites or roms names in a Hyperspin favorites.txt file.  It includes game variants for 2 players and regional variants of roms.

Does anyone know an easy way where I can convert this text based list of roms to the favorites in LaunchBox/BigBox?

Or am I stuck going one by one and changing the flags?  I tried editing the XML file and some games worked and some didn't (the variants, usually).

Thanks in advance!

Check this out.

Make that list into a Hyperspin xml, then use this plugin.

As long as you have those games in your MAME set, you can make a playlist from it to use in LB.

You are awesome, thank you!  It doubled up my games in the XML, but deleting duplicates is much easier than what I was doing before.  Thank you!!!
