yeah it would be a great improvement if romhacks were sorted in different folders, or have them seperately listed one way or another. Its kinda odd no one has yet done anything with this.

Ah. Thank you for your responses. I was just trying to arrange all of the Megaman games I added and sort them by release date. Another I was going to do was just grab a list of top 10 games for each system and make a collection and attempt to put them all in order. I guess it can wait though! It’s more of an OCD type thing for me lol Thanks again!

@nevisx Think about using favorites on ES. There you can collect your files so maybe a list with NES translations and NES Homebrew will help you. Real folders are not intendent to work ....... There is a bug in ES that makes folder navigation possible. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11308 But it needs modified scripts to define right emulator calls - from the edge view it is possible with lots of manual editing gameslist files.

@pjft Would it be possible to write a batch script or something that could be run once to simply and easily categorize large quantities of roms without duplication? My idea is something that works like this. It 'feels' like it would be easy for someone who does these sorts of things, but I know nothing so I could be very wrong. in '/roms/nes' you make the directory 'Top 50' (or subcategorize by genre, etc.) You move your top 50 roms from '/roms/nes' to /roms/nes/Top 50' You put the 'categorize_roms.bat' into '/roms/nes/Top 50' and run it The .bat file would then take all the roms in the folder, move them back up to '/roms/nes' and replace them with symlinks to each rom in the subfolder. Obviously replace .bat with whatever kind of script you prefer - I'm working with limited knowledge here. Is this doable?

@TMNTturtlguy I am indeed swapping out all of my FBA roms to the new version. I was under the impression that there could be problems using old roms with newer FBA, and it is best to update to the corresponding romset?

@cafarellidigital @Mishtakzun you can definetly do what you want, install the rom in one location and link to it. See this thread on how to do it with @meleu script. link text

I use Renamer for Windows. It can clean up file names and delete those numbers you mentioned. Very nice program.
