if i'm not mistaken, nesterdc can hold up to 2048 roms per cd, but 1024 roms per directory...

so make sure you make an additional directory when burning your nesterdc disk! i didn't do that on my first nesterdc disk!

So inside the games dir, i have to make 2 different folders (or more) and then 1024 roms in each folder... right?

Just one more question... how come i have a NesterDC 5.0 compilation with 2048 roms in one dir (in the games dir to be more precise)?

THANX FOR DA HELP

2048? No, I think it's unlimited as long as u have 1024 per directory...
I recently made a disc with about 2,458 roms (3 dirs). They seem to have show up all right. I can't see why there would be a rom limit, anyways.
