badboo Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Like the screenshot below. Try to leave the naming like that though and it will be easier for you to manage it with the media.... believe me, I ended up changing all the naming of the roms this way, it will make your life easier.

It's these that are named to match the entries in the Dreamcast.xml file (HyperSpin Database). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 what set do you have? Turip, redump, no-intro, goodsets? delete them and get the MAME CHD format set. as the name states C=compressed you get the benefit of having your files compressed like the set badboo has (GDI compressed in 7z format) unlike badboos set your emulator will load CHD files directly, their is no need to uncompress them before you load them. this means that LOAD TIMES WILL BE MUCH FASTER WITH CHD FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and CHD files consist of only a single file you need to rename to match the name in your XML.

badboo Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 @rp05 This is the naming that you should follow. Well, if you want to, of course. Regarding the type of files, it is up to you. CHD it is very convenient as @32assassin explains, it will be easier to have one file per game (or rom). In my case, every time I load a game, it uncompress the rom (inside the zip) to play, but I am ok waiting a few seconds. So I haven't changed my romset.
