0.37b5 ROM titles cryptic? Looking for D&D

Postby BullseyeWins » Fri Nov 09, 2012 10:25 pm

How can i find out if a ROM i want is on this list? Some are obvious, but others in the 0.37b5 section are kinda cryptic.

I'm trying to find Dungeons & Dragons arcade games by Capcom. i'm pretty sure ddragon.zip would be Double Dragon, and i certainly don't want that...

Is there a way to find it, and does someone here happen to know the file name?

if you are using MAME, you should be able to audit a rom and know what the names of the .zip files are.

Not sure if you're using the command line version of MAME, but what I do is when I download a newversion is type "MAME -listfull > list.txt".

"MAME -listfull" displays all the roms that version of MAME supports in a "romname name of the game" format (e.g. rdft2t "Raiden Fighters 2 (Taiwan, SPI)"). The "< list.txt" redirects the outout to a file instead of the screen so you can use a text editor to find the title. When you use the MAME -listfull >list.txt command, it will take a few seconds to do its thing and all you will see is another command prompt. Just do a DIR and you'll see list.txt in the listing.
