Nester longer file names.. how to do it

Post by bonecrusher »

Well some people know this and others dont
to get longer rom list names
get nero
go to iso burn
then in the options make sure you check
LEVEL 2 (30 characters)
9660 (i think thats what it is)
mode level 1 burning
it should load long file names when you burn the roms to the directory
\games
so now you can read the long file names and duplicates like
super_mario_1Hack(toiletmarioplungeradventure).nes
or superman goes to toronto.nes
it reads with spaces if your missing _
so its all good

The same goes for SMEG. But the only dissapointing thing are the underscores ( _ ). Every space you use becomes a _. I'm told that's the way the Dreamcast handles it, I hope there's a way to get around that. It look a lot nicer without underscore's.[/url][/code]
