MamePlaylistBuilder

Just a little program to build a MAME ROM playlist for the RetroArch frontend.

How to

1. Download the latest release

2. Install Java 8 if you don't have it already.

3. If you're on linux, add the executable bit to the jar or you won't be able to launch it (using the file explorer or chmod +x MamePlaylistBuilder-1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar)

4. Launch MamePlaylistBuilder (if you can't do it with your file explorer, use java -jar MamePlaylistBuilder-1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar)

5. MamePlaylistBuilder will ask for the location of your MAME Roms folder. Select it, and confirm.

6. A "MAME.lpl" should have been created; Copy it.

7. If you're on linux, paste this file to ~/.config/retroarch/playlists. If you're on Windows, the playlists folder is located in the same folder as retroarch.exe

8. Enjoy your (hopefully full) new playlist.

mameplaylistbuilder's Issues

No File Requestor on Mac

When I run this app a requestor pops up with an okay button that instructs me to select my rom folder but after clicking okay a file requestor never appears.
