The clunkiness that is MAME Datfile generation...

Post by denzilla »

Would it be possible to allow the user configure what type of MAME set the user has before datfile generation so Romcenter only has to organize the datfile structure once? Most users I know of have split sets with samples located separately in the samples folder, but Romcenter defaults to merged with Samples merged inside roms. It takes Romcenter quite a while to reconfigure/reorganize the datfile structure so it would be beneficial to allow the user to pick the configuration before datfile creation.

Thanks Eric :)
