    - 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.

    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
