[quote author=Hola link=board=help;num=1092056156;start=0#8 date=08/10/04 at 11:15:57]I'm not insulting the porters at all. I'm saying the way mame goes about things is primitive and no other emulators do it. If you had to have the correctly named rom for every snes game you have i'm sure you'd see 1000's of post over at snes9x or zsnes saying wtf doesnt this work and blah this.[/quote]Comparing the way MAME loads roms to the way SNES emulators load ROMs is assinine. You are aware that MAME consists of several romfiles in one zipfile, right? That's the whole reason why MAME has naming conventions, so that ROMsets with similarly named files won't get loaded on accident. If you have invaders.zip and comsicmo.zip both loading invaders.h, invaders.g, invaders.f, and invaders.e, do you really expect the emulator to know the difference between the two sets? Of course not, that's why MAME has naming conventions. I think you'll find it's the same in all arcade emulators that emulate more than one system. It's not just MAME.
