Best ROM manager?
#285388 - 05/07/12 07:22 PM


Well it's probably been asked again, but since all those are in active development, this question is always current.

So... Which one is a bit (or more than a bit) better than the others? (not talking only about MAME/MESS dats, but also TOSEC etc.)


  • clrmamepro? I used to use that. Wasn't very intuitive back then. I am not sure I can even catch up with it now.
  • romvault?
  • romcenter?
  • romulus? It's version number scares me a bit.


So... any educated opinions out there?

I've always used clrmamepro without a problem. Roman updates it regularly too.

Thanks.

Yes me too (in the past - I have "paused" for a year or so)... but have you actually COMPARED with the alternatives?
This is what I ask.

I tried Romcenter years ago and did not like it as much as clrmame. I've never heard of the others. I've gotten used to clrmame, so that's what I use. I guess I am kind of set in my ways. Probably why I still use MAMEUI.

You are free to try all of the others out and let us know how they compare.

How do you actually pronounce TOSEC? TWO-SEC? TOSS-SEC?

Suggestion:
Do a quick poll (name it so) and see what you get.

Later...

BTW CMP for me.

Optimist: Yes, it can!

It's always been TOSS-SEC in my head, but I have a tendency to pronounce things wrong anyway.

I'm strange I guess - it was TOE-SEC to me :P

Well for me it comes from "Truthfully I dOn't honeStly carE how it spells Correctly" so...

Well I spell it as it sounds in Greek (which is like reading those letters with no pronunciation "color") TOSSEK.

Also I think they have explained their pronunciation in their site?

Back to ROM managers?

Don't mind me, I saw a new reply in the thread and thought someone actually answered my question.
