I am trying to create a mame tool and we need to need to be able to scan/load a roms folder for the game/rom files and then somehow correlate these rom files to the actual names of the game. I mean the actual mame game titles like you see in mameui. Where do we find these titles? I mean programmatically? It is not the mame dat as I might have assumed. I think I remember one one of the rom manager tools actually scanning the mame.exe but I am not sure how this is done. I will be developing in vb .net.

 

Update: ok I see that you actually use the mame binary to generate a list as needed using command line. Ok I will need to do some reading..

Solved.. Sorry for the post. Should have just realized..
