Exactly what are you trying to achieve by doing this if I may ask? RetroFE may have better ways to achieve your goal than by splitting the rom sets.

That's great attitude to have just thought it be better if database is created arcades,consoles, computers and handhelds then like each uniform like Nintendo,Sega,Atari etc.I hope you dont think I was being rude @PieterExactly what are you trying to achieve by doing this if I may ask?

RetroFE doesn't need that, but I'll have a look at my XML generation code next time I work on MAME to see if I can also spit out bios based XML files. It shouldn't be too difficult, but I give RetroFE priority at the moment.

such as neo geo mvs,dice,sega hikaru,sega st-v,sega triforce etc.

So you'll need to generate and use include.txt files for each one of you want to keep all the roms in the same directory but only show the specific ones for each group.

I wrote tools to do both but they're in a program I use for all my dat, xml and Rom stuff but that's not fit for public use atm as I desperately need to reorganize it and add a gui. I think I also added them to my retrofe config program but unfortunately that's in an unfinished state also. I've been meaning to finish both but time has been lacking for me recently.

The include file should be described in the Collections section, I think.

- menu.txt (containing collections)
- include.txt (containing games that should be included)
- exclude.txt (containing games that should be excluded)
- roms directory (selected based on the extension defined in the settings.conf file)
For more details, see the wiki.
All in all though: you can use 1 XML file containing all MAME games for all arcade collections, and simply use include.txt files to fill the game list of each arcade collection.
