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.

its not specially made for retrofe it be universal listing i got upcoming fe which support all fes and this one

He probably just didn't understand what you're asking for and wanted better clarification. I don't understand what you're asking either, tbh.

Ok there's arcades in Mame romset how do you make a list of em like I know cps1,cps2,cps3 and neo geo mvs set I'm sure there is more

I think RomLister might have filters for those or be able to filter by driver. Its been a long time since I messed with that program so I'm not totally sure.

Creating the lists should be easy if you’re on Linux. The listxml output of MAME has the bios set of those games listed as neogeo, cps1, etc., so mame64.exe piped to grep and cut should do the trick. I may have a look later this week.

No worries, I don’t do offended, triggered or any of those modern day problems.

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.

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.

Thanx I'll appreciate it

what im trying to do is split up mame romset into arcade machines supported by mame if that make any sense
such as neo geo mvs,dice,sega hikaru,sega st-v,sega triforce etc.

Yeah, I understand now. At first I thought you may have been trying to split out the actual rom files from the main set into individual directories.

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.

Sorry I worded it wrong
