Renaming Art/Image/Videos to match roms?

I was wondering if anyone knows a fast and simple way of renaming my media to match my Rom names so they work?

I have all the videos and art already and before I take the long path of slowly renaming them by hand I wanted to see if anyone knew of a fast way to do this

Thanks in advance

I'm doing this right now also. I understand renaming roms if yours aren't the same scheme, but many names have been corrected or changed in the no-intro sets and the art/videos aren't corrected.

A ha! hit the nail on the head for me.  Both emumovies and hyperspin use the hyperlist (now hyperbase) databases

this is what you want your roms renamed to.  Now that search is working on the site there are plenty of tools laying around to help with this.

Just as easy for me to rename the art/videos to help my OCD ;) But I understand how it is set up right now.

You will break all the databases that way but to each their own

I'm using the no-into databases and filtering by wheel art in Hyperspin, then adding the wheel art to games I want that aren't in the official database.

 

Originally I wasn't sure if I would rather rename the roms to some incorrect names and add games to the Hyperlist database or do it this way.
