reported that longer game names such as Metal Slug super vehicle-001 does not work while if he changes it to shorter name like metal slug it works - I manually tested a few roms and the sweet spot for the maximum allowable length of the game name is 25 characters including spaces
For NeoGeo roms only
I've added the following condition to shorten the game name- if the game name contains parenthesis, I just removed words inside the parenthesis along with the parenthesis pair
- if the name is longer than 25 characters, take the maximum number of words that can be fitted into 25 characters limit
usage:
run.exe -d <datfilename> -r <romfoldername>
usage (example):
run.exe -d MAME_ROMs_253.dat -r roms
How-to:
- download
run.exe
- download MAME dat file from here and place where
run.exe
is located - download neogeo.zip from here (click raw to download) and place where
run.exe
is located - supply your own arcade rom files and place them under a directory with a given name, e.g.,
roms
. subfolder works here to, e.g.,roms/arcade/neogeo
The overall files & directory structure would look like this:
NOTE: if they are neogeo roms, make sure you name the folder name to include the string
neogeo
, NOTneo-geo
