OpenHandhelds Caanoo File Archive - File Info - Home:Caanoo

Here you'll find how to:

* cut down to only 859 ROMsets (937MB instead of 1.9GB)

* extract subsets of the 599 games worth playing, or the 319 all-times best (with full listings of games and their rankings IMHO)

* implement LOTS of extra cheats: updated from May 18th 2000 to April 2009

* enabling screenshots

..plus ready-made game configurations (also saving your battery life).

[Done on MAME4ALL for the Wiz, but should work just the same on Canoo - with the exception of the .GPE menu reset maybe.]

how do I get rid of the gig of bad roms?

robinhood:

If you use Windows, place the batch file of the subset you want to create (ALL.BAT, BEST.BAT etc) in the MAME4ALL folder, then double click it. Once the required ROMs are copied (not moved or deleted: the original ROMset remains untouched), just move it to the main MAME4ALL folder (the upper folder), rename the old into something else (eg: ) and rename your subset into (eg: -> ). --- If you use Linux, edit the .BAT files and translate them from MS-DOS commands into Linux commands - or, if you're a newbie and have a lot of patience, open the .TXT files and copy the single ROMs mentioned there one by one into a new folder.. then move it to the main MAME4ALL folder and rename it as explained above. --- I recommend you to TEST EACH SUBSET **BEFORE** DELETING THE ORIGINAL ROMSET, and obviously make sure you keep a backup of the complete romset on your hard-disk - ie: only delete the from your SD memory card.

Wow, thanks man! You just freed up enough space on my Caanoo to throw on my entire DBZ cartoon archive. I am in your debt, sir!

Baldeagle:

The best mame4all update would be to move along to a later romset while also improving emulation speed. I've pretty much already deleted the crap I never play.

I do not recommend this program. I have had to go back and download MANY roms that no longer work with this but worked before. Your best bet is to buy a bigger card and/or just delete the ones that don't work as you come across them.

So much great games in "hated" list, very bad choice.
