ROMLister
What? Why?
OK, you've just spent 6 months working on your arcade cabinet. You've just copied the entire set of MAME ROMs over to your machine.
You call your buddies over for gaming night, and one of them picks "spy hunter" from the full list of games. Whoops. You don't have a steering wheel or a throttle control on your machine.
OK, OK, skip that, you get your friend to forget that game and pick another one. Area 51! Yeah! Oh wait, you don't have a light gun installed. Isn't this embarrassing? Wouldn't it be better to only put games on your machine that your machine is capable of playing? That's what ROMLister is for.
Unlimited, customizable search parameters.
For example, you can find all the non-adult, fighting games that use an 8way joystick, 6 buttons or less, and are horizontal. Or you could just do stuff like locate all the cocktail games, or any combination you can dream up.Multiple output types - create batch files, MaLa lists, plain ole text files, CSV text files, Hyperspin lists, Maximus Arcade, MultiFe, MameWah, XML...virtually anything you'd ever need.
Quick and easy to use - Click on various checkboxes til you've got your hardware and game criteria selected, hit the GO! button and export it to the front end of your choice, or make up your own search criteria and really fine-tooth your selections.
Powerful - Using the combined resource of catver.ini, controls.dat and MAME's xml output, the number of searchable items is limitless.
