Parsifal, would you be kind to explain what's a Clone and what about to merge it ? So the Euro won't work alone before merging eh ?

what do you remove for cps1 and neogeo?

Ok the easyes way to tell you is when you are using the cache on a rom the files that pop up are the ones you then will delet from the actual rom

I just tried this and my folder went from 326MB to 130MB and everything works the same. Thanks for this cool tip.

[ACID]

it is a gret tip.

[NovaKane]

I did it with the NeoGeo too and the folder went from 120+ MB to 45+ MB. Good stuff...

WOW! Really? I'm glad I noticed this thread. I'm constantly in a battle to crunch space on my memory stick! Awesome tip! Thanks!


PS - Is there any way to shrink the size of a NeoGeo CD Roms? Those thing's are huge.

This tip has been very useful, thans for the advice.

[Mr. Shizzy]

Acidburn- I got the roms to run after "ripping them" . Turns out I was making two mistakes. First, it wont read a .rar file. After you extract the rom and delete the files you cached, you need to right click and select "add to archive". Then select .zip instead of .rar. My second mistake was I was zipping a folder with the rom parts in it. It would seem the emulator cannot read two files deep. You need to "select all" of the rom pieces and then right click and select add to archive.
