You can modify your configuration by editing the conf\conf-retroarch.conf file either directly or from the UI with your own parameters :

  • exportDir : the target directory for generation, warning its whole content will be erased (you will be prompted) at the begining of the script
  • fbneo, mame2003, mame2003plus, mame2010 : the path to your original sets, this will be left untouched by the script
  • chd: the path to your CHD set, if it doesn't exist, it will simply default to romset folder
  • images: Paths to your images folder (flyers, screenshot, etc) separated by ';', will be checked in consecutive order
  • imgNameFormat : the image name format in your images folder, '{rom}' part will be replaced by each rom name
  • dryRun : If put to 1, will do a dry run, generating only csv and dat files without copying roms and bios, good for testing
  • keepLevel: the working state level at which you will keep the roms in the generated romset (i.e keepLevel 2 will keep only MOSTLY_WORKING and WORKING roms)
  • keepNotTested: determines if untested roms will be kept or not, even in STRICT mode
  • exclusionType: determines how roms will be kept (based on their working state level) if you use several romsets
  • preferedSet: in strict mode, if rom has same working level in several sets, preferedSet will be chosen
  • usePreferedSetForGenre : in strict mode, activate use of prefered set for specific genres
  • BeatEmUpPreferedSet,GunPreferedSet,MiscPreferedSet,PlatformPreferedSet,PuzzlePreferedSet,RacePreferedSet,RunNGunPreferedSet,ShootEmUpPreferedSet,SportPreferedSet,VsFightingPreferedSet list of settings for prefered set for genre
  • genreSubFolders: determines if your romset will use sub folders for genre or not
  • useImages: determines if images will be used for gamelist
  • excludeCHDGames: determines if CHD games are to be excluded
