ROM Info Series

Current Version
v1.5b2 - June 23rd, 2000

There is a huge amount of software available for use under emulators. However, organising it can prove extremely difficult - especially if you have a large collection. I have written a number of utilities to attempt to solve this problem for 18 different platforms - and I hope to write more in the future.

Right now, these platforms are:
 - Atari 2600
 - Atari 5200
 - Atari 7800
 - Atari Lynx
 - Atari Jaguar
 - Bally Astrocade
 - Colecovision
 - Gameboy
 - Genesis/Megadrive
 - MSX
 - Neo Geo Pocket
 - Nintendo 64
 - NES
 - PCE
 - Sega Master System/Game Gear
 - SNES
 - Vectrex
 - Virtual Boy

Note that Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Neo Geo Pocket, and Virtual Boy are only available in a beta version. The latest stable release is v1.4.

While not all the ROM Info applications include all of the features below, they all include some subset of the following features: 

 • The ability to display the information embedded in the ROM - or if none is present, to display information about the ROM taken from an internal database in the programs. 
 • The ability to rename the ROM to its correct name according to a set list of criteria. 
 • The ability to save the ROM's information to the finder comment field. 
 • The ability to save or print a list of ROMs. 
 • The ability to change the file's Type and Creator to popular emulators. 
 • The ability to compress ROMs using gzip, which can be decompressed transparently by many popular emulators. 
 • Many other features.
