MAME.ini option for showing only working games

[Aussie2B]

This is probably a really stupid and simple problem, but I can't find any documentation on it. I use no frontends, no mame32, I just like to use standard, normal MAME that opens up in a full-screen, DOS-like UI, and I need to have it display only working games (I like to navigate and load random games via controller during gameplay). Is there any text I need to add to the ini file that would make it work the way I want it to? And also, is there a program out there that will delete all non-working ROMs from my directories? Thanks!

I believe there's a verifyroms command line option that would be a good place to start. I can't recall what exactly it does but it should find all your bad roms.

I use no frontends, no mame32,

When was the last time you checked ito out? I'm just asking because it hasn't been called "Mame32" for a few years. :) It's called "MameUI" now.

I understand what you want, but mameui is probably at least worth a try as it's very easy to filter out non-working games even with a bare minimum of configuration (i.e. it doesn't need screenshots, etc.). http://www.mameui.info/
