MAME Roms manager/frontend
Hey guys,
First post here so be gentle lol
I just posted a rom manager on Github, trying to find a place where someone would care about it, here sounds like a good place, you tell me xD
tetsuoo-online/Retro-ROM_View: Arcade rom manager & frontend for MAME emulators
So this is not gonna scan everything and tell you right away what's "available" like any MAME frontend, but you will have clues by comparing the rom content with the official datafiles (you will have to add those by yourself).
At first this was intended to help me me to sort out the roms, then friends told me : "Does it run MAME?" so I decided to add that because why not x)
So you can configure the command lines for the emulators, theorically any emulator as long as it has command lines features to call up the rom in a specific folder, in practice so far MAME is the more suited for this. I tried Raine, FinalBurn, they were all problematic x)
You can filters roms and navigate the list with a joypad and just double-hit the A button to start a game. Check the console at the bottom for any errors.
The whole interface in translated in 8 languages because why not xD
The Readme might be incomplete, feel free to ask questions here or on Github, along with the suggestions.
That's it folks ! Have fun
