@cyperghost My overall goal is to make a pacman & donkey kong machine that has a power button (on/off that saves the current state), and a button that switches games seamlessly (because currently it has to wait for the games to load each time) and hopefully a way to have the credits transfer between games.

You can also put things in subfolders. So I might have all my Mario games in NES\Super Mario Brothers and SNES\Super Mario World, for example. That way I can see all the variants within a particular game, but at the root level, I'm just looking at the "base" game name. It makes scraping a little bit more difficult, but that's a different issue.

Thank you!
No I went back and grabbed a NO INTRO set, since there would be less/no redundant files this way.

One thing you can do to further reduce your no intro set of its redundancy, is produce a "1g1r" set from it (1 game, 1 region). If you download the appropriate P/clone xml DAT (from here http://datomatic.no-intro.org/?page=download&fun=xml ) and load it into Romcenter 3.7.1, you can point it to your rom directory and have it keep only a single version of each game based on your ordered preference of regions.
