Mame Complete Rom Set Download
Mame 195 just came out so that means in 5 months time we will be getting 200 so in celebration I was thinking it would be a perfect time to compile a No Filler Version 2 set. Yeah I know 5 months seems like a long ways out but I wanna get a head start on making the lists.
This is gonna take some prep work and I am gonna do this from scratch instead of using the existing No Filler lists. I also wanted to make this a community effort so people can give their opinions on what games to include. When listing the games you would like to see included please separate them using the categories below. Should the list be capped to prevent too much bloat? 500 / 750 / 1000? Should I use the Split, Merged or Non Merged rom set? After discussing this with some people I have decided to use the Non Merged set.

So I'm currently on a very old and out dated MAME ROM set and I'm looking to finally update to the latest. My internet speed isn't the greatest where I live so downloading a full complete set would take ages for me. So recently, I've been exploring my options. One of those options is to order a full set from MAME DVD's.
Mame Arcade Roms Pack 500
I realize that this will require a larger download to use the batch file on but the pay off will be a more streamlined and easier to manage set since every game rom will be self contained. I won't be including anything that requires a CHD because I simply won't be downloading a CHD set for testing.
Of course though if someone else wants to take the final lists and edit them to include any CHD files they would be more than welcome to do so. Nor will I be including anything that requires non standard joystick controls such as light guns, trackballs, spinners or steering wheels / yokes. Once the lists are done I will download the 200 set that is chosen, create the batch files and test it all to make sure it all works and then upload the batch file/s for everyone to use. I would love to be able to upload and provide a download for a fully filtered set but obviously for legal reasons I would not be able to do this openly and I simply don't have the internet speed to be able to upload it.
************************************************************** How to use this: First you will need to download the Non-Merged rom set that the batch file was made with, using a different set than the bat file was intended for may or may not cause incompatibilities in roms. Then simply copy the batch file into the folder with all of the roms and double click the bat file, it will make a new folder within that folder and copy all of the roms into that newly created folder. From there you can copy that new folder of roms to anywhere you like and import them into Launchbox, be sure to update your rom path in your mame.ini to point this rom set location.
You can now do whatever you like with your full set you downloaded, it is no longer needed for the NoFiller set to function, though you may want to keep a backup just in case. Here is the up to date batch, spreadsheet, text list of roms and text list of games files: There is currently 434 rom files in the set with some duplicate games for arcade games that have 2 and 4/6 player roms such as TMNT, Gauntlet and X-Men. If you have a seedbox and a PleasureDome account you can download the Non-Merged set to your seedbox server and then using WinSCP you can copy paste the text list of roms into the filter. That will only show you all the files in the list for easy download to your home computer without having to download the full Non-Merged set which is over 100 gigs, the full NoFiller v2 set is 3.6 gigs. If you have a seedbox and use this filter method you can easily update your romset without any hassle, WinSCP will compare the files and only download updated and / or new files. I will not be providing updated playlists for these, that will take too much effort. Maybe if Jason allows a way to see if a game is associated with a playlist I might do that in the future but for now with no way of knowing it's really time consuming.
