Romlister help

[tazfaedodge]

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using the same romset and selecting the same options, but not getting the same games that I got the first time I set up MAME.

Is there a list somewhere that has all the bandets pinball's etc so I can go through my romset and delete the ones I don't want?

After spending hours using romlister and deleting each game that I didn't want, I made a game list.

I then converted it to use within Maximus Arcade. (Have gone back to that as I could not get MAMEwah to run.)

I set up where the .exe is where the roms are and the videos. Set the program off scanning and when it opens up it list every one of the full MAME rom set. (also not one of the videos run, do they need converted from the MP4 files to work with this frontend?)

What am I doing wrong?

As far as I remember, you can use romlister to create a list containing only the types of games you want, and optionally movedelete all the ROMs you don't (usually fruities, casino games, mahjong etc.). Think it's done selecting all the game types you DON'T want, and saving the list as a batch file, which can then be run to movedelete all the roms.

Can't help with the vids in MA as I've never used that FE, although I had video problems with MaLa and had to install a codec pack to get them to work. K-lite or CCCP, I think it was.

I think (from memory) maximus uses AVI, not mp4

Try changing one first, then just batch rename as below

In Maximus Arcade's preference settings, make sure you have Maximus
Arcade pointing to your "Movies" folder under MAME settings. Also, make sure you list ".avi" as a valid file extension under this section! Make
sure you also check the box next to "Rescan media folder," so Maximus
scans for your movie files the next time it starts up.

In Windows, go to File Explorer. Go to the folder where you've placed all the .mp4 files.

Hold down "Shift" and then right-click in this folder (without
highlighting any files). Choose "Open command window here" in the
context menu that should appear.

In the command prompt, type the following: "ren *.* *.avi"

(No quotation marks, and include the spaces as shown).

All the .mp4 files in your Movies folder should now be renamed with the .avi file extension!
