Wondering how u guys go about using mame or mess for console systems? Mame names dont match the hyperlist databases so how would i match any of the boxart, wheels without renaming everything?

Haven't worked with software list much so hopefully someone who has can chime in but if you run them through Don's HyperTools Rom renamer are they CRC matches?

I did start to convert some for use with Android but ended up finding a way round the problem of being forced to use software list.

I put a few system up on the emumovies ftp. Matched out to Phulshoffs xmls. 

Look for my name on the EM ftp in submissions.

Mame will except "any" name you throw at it so long as its passed to it with the command line.

Most people use rocketlauncher to deal with all that stuff and match the romsets to the xml/media

I use MAME directly with the HyperSpin roms. The command is just slightly different from using software lists:
mame64.exe snes smw
vs
mame64.exe snes -cart "Super Mario World (USA).zip"

Are u saying other romsets will work with mame

Yes "Hyperspin Ready" sets will work with mame.

Example

I have Atari 5200 roms named as per the hyperspin xml names and in .bin format. With the above mentions comman line they launch fine (so long as the actual game is emulated well by mame)

 

So long as you have any bios files that mame requires

Of course. I still use the HyperSpin 1.0 ready rom sets. I only use the software lists for MSX via MAME.

Nice, didnt no that. I no mame wants correct rom versions with same mame version so i figured it would be picky with console systems also. That makes things a lot easier. Thanks for help
