General Discussion & Help / Tool like ROMlister for Non-MAME games?
« on: April 21, 2017, 02:38:52 PM »
Hi,

Is there any tool to order or generate lists of No-Intro roms by number of players or genre like ROMlister for MAME games?

I tried hard but wasn't able to find something like that.

General Discussion & Help / Filtering or portable mode?
« on: April 14, 2017, 10:11:24 PM »
Hi,

I spend some time the last days setting up RetroFE 0.8.0 RC1 with rocketlauncher on my Win10 machine and of the dozen FEs I tried this one suits best. But I'm missing some features or don't understand to configure them.

1.) Is it possible to use RetroFE as an portable app? All my ROMs and emulators like MAME, Retroarch, rocketlauncher and so on are able to use relative paths so I'm able to switch between multiple computers. I tried the same thing with RetroFE but it didn't work. Absolute paths in the main settings.conf like "baseItemPath=D:\ROMs" are working but as soon as I try relative paths like "baseItemPath=..\ROMs" (RetroFE root is "D:\RetroFE") I get errors like:
Code: [Select]

2.) Is it possible to somehow filter out or categorize ROMs in a collection? MAME for example uses thousends of ROMs and it's really a pain to scroll through it. Even after removing clones and unwanted machines with ROMlister and clrmamepro. I would really like to filter out Games by the number of supported players and by genre within a collection.
At this time, it is the only option to create countless of sub-collections by creating a master collection with all games and artwork, hide all games inside it via exclude.txt, link to other sub-collection via menu.txt which then will list picked out games defined by a name_of_master_collection.sub?

Greetings
