SNS_0002.ZIP Lost Vikings, The
SNS_0003.ZIP Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
SNS_0004.ZIP Puyo Puyo
SNS_0005.ZIP Ren and Stimpy's Invention
SNS_0006.ZIP Sonic 3 & Knuckles
SNS_0007.ZIP Sonic Compilation
SNS_0008.ZIP Streets of Rage 2
SNS_0009.ZIP Streets of Rage
SNS_0010.ZIP Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
SNS_0011.ZIP Zombies Ate My Neighbors

and had them named like this:

SNS_0001.ZIP:Altered Beast
SNS_0002.ZIP:Lost Vikings, The
SNS_0003.ZIP:Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
SNS_0004.ZIP:Puyo Puyo
SNS_0005.ZIP:Ren and Stimpy's Invention
SNS_0006.ZIP:Sonic 3 & Knuckles

- This method of listing is currect and should work.

I noticed one thing in the screenshots you've uploaded - In the first screenshot it says

D:\New Folder\...

In the second screenshot it says

C:\SBI Inducer\...

- Is that a coincidence caused by different days and attempts from when you've made the screenshots or is this your current directory structure ?


I am using the following structure:

C:\SBInducr\Inducer\gpwt\data\roms\
(my games)

C:\SBInducr\Inducer\gpwt\data\roms.txt
(list of my games in \roms\)

you have the format a bit off. It either goes:

FILENAME.zip Name_you_want_to_appear_in_menu_without_spaces

or, the "Q" system ( :P )

FILE NAME.zip|Name you want

So either the first space in the line must seperate the filename from the menu name, or the only occurence of the pipe character "|" must be between the two terms.

You can't however do "Filename.zip:Actual name", or it will take "Filename.zip:Actual" to be the name of the file, and "name" to be what it shows up as in the menu.

So your saying it should be:

SNS_0001.ZIP|Altered Beast
SNS_0002.ZIP|Lost Vikings, The
SNS_0003.ZIP|Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
SNS_0004.ZIP|Puyo Puyo
SNS_0005.ZIP|Ren and Stimpy's Invention
SNS_0006.ZIP|Sonic 3 & Knuckles
SNS_0007.ZIP|Sonic Compilation
SNS_0008.ZIP|Streets of Rage 2
SNS_0009.ZIP|Streets of Rage
SNS_0010.ZIP|Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
SNS_0011.ZIP|Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Right? and it should work?

Yes, if you're using one of the gpdcq releases, then that will work.

Well i did what quazar said and i used his release and when i select a rom it says "Loading Rom...." For a few seconds but then it either restarts the dreamcast or just shows a black screen. Any other ideas?

I named the roms.txt the way you told me:

SNS_0001.ZIP|Altered Beast
SNS_0002.ZIP|Lost Vikings, The
SNS_0003.ZIP|Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
SNS_0004.ZIP|Puyo Puyo
SNS_0005.ZIP|Ren and Stimpy's Invention
SNS_0006.ZIP|Sonic 3 & Knuckles
SNS_0007.ZIP|Sonic Compilation
SNS_0008.ZIP|Streets of Rage 2
SNS_0009.ZIP|Streets of Rage
SNS_0010.ZIP|Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
SNS_0011.ZIP|Zombies Ate My Neighbors
