Mame Romset Full
Hi all, Hoping someone may be able to help me. I have a full 0.78 Mame romset and I am trying to extract just the ROMs that are located within the MAME 0.78u5 DAT File located on the bottom of this page: I have successfully created 1G1R sets for some of my other systems using ClrMamePro but I can’t find a way or any instructions for how to use this software to create my own custom romset based on this lite dat file. When I tried I ended up having 4 rom files in a new folder but not sure why it hasn’t moved all of these files since I have started with a full 0.78 Mame romset from the outset. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a solution for the Linux command line of Retropie. You get to the command line by quitting Emulation Station or by connecting over the network with ssh. After logging in, you will be in the home folder of the user pi with the full directory path /home/pi/ or in short ~.

I've extracted all rom names from the 0.78u5 DAT file. You can get the list. Save it into a file called lr-lite.list to use it with the following commands. In the example below, your full romset is in folder romset_fulland the custom romset will be in folder romset_lr-lite, both located in your home folder ~. The file lr-lite.list is also in your home folder ~. You'll then have to execute one these commands: Either copy the files (needs more space, the full set remains intact) while read file; do cp 'romset_full/$file'.zip romset_lr-lite/; done lr-lite.list.
