Make a smaller hs.

[trekdropp]

So i want to make a small hyperspin (500GB).

 

I was wonder if the is a easy way to get:

 

All the roms/chd that have themes?

All the videos for these roms.

 

Anybody made a batch file that checks the theme .zip and copy the rom .7zip that matches, to a different folder.  

 

And the same with the .flv with the rom .7zip

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly...

[trekdropp]

Yeah sorry its late here in Holland

 

I want all my mame roms and chd that have a theme in a folder, that way i can make a cab with onlny theme games and a smaller hdd.

basically you want to copy the ROMS that have themes... my suggestion would be using one of those matching programs that will MOVE/COPY the files to another folder once they are matched. goto the THEMES folder and make a XML then use that XML to match against the ROMS and all the files that matched can now be copied/moved to a new folder. 

[trekdropp]

YEAH! only... i dont know the progams. I make xml of my roms all the time. I never used a programme that moves my roms to a other folder that comperd with a nother folder.

try the don's tools... the rom renamer i think

Geen idee, maar volgens mij Don's tools inderdaad. Fatmatch was meer voor hernamen. Hope you don't have to go the manual route.

 

Other space saving tips:

• use non-flash versions of themes where possible
• remove chd games that you don't need
• use lower res vids or at least make sure you have the latest set from emumovies

But why 500gb? 4+TB hdd's are not that expensive

Fat match, set it to scan with results set to 100%. It will move the games with matching themes

There's a Hyperchecker app in downloads which will remove stuff based on the xml i think.
