This is the first public release of the MAME Smart ROM Sorter, a tool designed to turn a messy, full MAME set into a perfectly curated, playable arcade collection. This version was refined with expert-level logic to ensure a true "Arcade Only" output.
Key Features:
True Arcade-Only Filtering: Accurately filters out consoles, computers, and handhelds.
Intelligent Sorting Hierarchy: Prioritizes Parent ROMs over clones and bootlegs.
Full Dependency Handling: Automatically finds and copies required BIOS, CHD, and Sample files for a plug-and-play experience.
User-Friendly GUI: A simple Tkinter interface with Save/Load preset functionality.
Packaged into a standalone .exe using PyInstaller.
To Use:
Download the MAME_Sorter.exe from the "Assets" section below.
Place it in the same folder as your ROMs folder and your full.xml file.
Follow the full instructions in the README.md.
