MAME Smart ROM Sorter v4.20 (The Audit Update)

on GitHub

✨ New in v4.20 (The "Game Changer" Update)

Based on community feedback (shoutout to @johnmclain250!), we have completely rebuilt the engine:

1. The Missing Assets Audit (Killer Feature):

   • The Problem: In the past, if a game didn't copy, you never knew why.
   • The Fix: The tool now generates a detailed Audit Report in the log window. It tells you exactly what is missing—down to the specific chd, sample, or bios file—so you can go find it.

2. Smart Filtering with CatVer.ini:

   • We replaced the old manual "blocklist" with the official CatVer.ini (Category/Version) system.
   • Result: You can now filter by Genre (Platformer, Shooter, Fighter) and perfectly strip out non-arcade categories like "Tabletop," "Handheld," and "Computers" with zero false positives.

3. Strict 1G1R (One Game, One ROM):

   • The tool prioritizes the Parent version of a game. If the Parent works, it ignores the 50+ clones/bootlegs, keeping your menu clean.
