I haven't seen a tutorial for creating the roms.lst file, what are your suggestions?

... not exactly a helpful post...

burnerO also has a roms.lst creator. I found it on his 'coding' page at http://www.consolevision.com/members/burnero/coding.htm along with a few other useful things.

You can do all that...... or you can just use kRYPT's Rom.lst generator, and check Truncate filenames and Arrange alphabetically....

Having the Roms.lst Generator create the list based on filenames rather than the ROM headers might alleviate your 'garbled' list entries.

Putting a file called "NO_ROMS.HERE" in a directory prevents it from being scanned for roms.

redisk, are you by any chance making multi-emu Dreaminducer disks or anything else out of the ordinary you're not mentioning?

I totally agree. Use the quick and easy way if it works. I always had trouble with the rom list tools. The list would either be out of order or there would be a mistake somewhere in the list that would cause DreamSNES to start reading from the headers. That’s when I came up with the fail proof method in my previous post. The kRYPT's Rom.lst generator may be a newer version than what I had to use when I was first trying to make a list and may not have the problems I mentioned before, but If it does, there is an alternative.

Yes it is very important that you truncate your files, and try to keep the character letter count down... otherwise it has trouble reading the list. The maximum characters allowed is specified sumwhere, isnt it 66 or sumthing?

You can just use Uberboot to self-boot DreamSNES and it'll make the roms.lst file for you. It's that easy.

I've tried everything I can find, even the renamer-based tutorial, and I still can't get DSnes to read the roms.lst file when I launch it from my DreamInducer comps. Gonna try UberBoot.

i fixed the garbled names by using the renaming tool, but now i still cannot get Dsnes to read the roms.lst file. i do use a second disk for my roms could that be where the problem is? if it is how would i write a cd with the snes software and the roms using w*ndows and using an IDE cd burner?

everything is in the sticky topic, and if you rename and truncate the files, you shouldnt have a problem creating a list file..

I sat down and went back through the renamer tut, and now it magically works on my DI discs. Thank god it works, my DC's laser doesn't have the power to scan through 230 roms to play Rock 'N Roll Racing.
