Atari 2600 roms don't match xml file names

Hi,

I'm a total noob and just signed up for a platinum membership today.  This is my first post.

I've been viewing Simply Austin's YT videos and decided to start setting up something "easy" or so I thought.

I downloaded a full rom pack (the only one that showed up/only selection) on a most pleasurable web-site dedicated to roms (don't know if links are ok here, but you get the hint) and when I do a full audit none of the games work.

If I manually change the file name to match the XML file (the rom pack didn't come with an XML file so I'm using the one from the downloads section here) then I can launch the game from RocketLauncher and all is well.

I don't want to do that manually for 600+ games, though.

So what do I do?  Is there a place I can get the roms with a compatible XML file?  Is there a way to generate a new XML file with my ROM names?  I assume I'll have this problem for every system, I'm simply starting with Atari 2600 to see if I can get everything up and running.

Thanks for your help,

--J

Nevermind,  I found "dir2xml" and that did the trick.

Thanks anyway, though! :)

Hopefully next time I'll try a little harder before posting.
