          @awsd12 yeah basically each zip file would be a separate game in the list. so normally you're fine to just transfer the parent as it is normally the main English version of the game.

                      hey i came across one of your threads on petrock about only having parent roms and was wondering if you had made a dat.file for FBa 0.2.97.38 ? , so only parent roms remained ?, I don't want a list of 4,000 but some clones are used to play 4 player and its just screwing me over since some don't have game art , so i am trying to just get parent roms soley and then have them with game art.

                        no sorry. i use mame2003 (mame 0.78 set) for everything apart from neogeo and CPS3 games, pretty much.
