Nice. I always wondered why MAME stuck with MSDOS compatible filenames, especially since MAME hasn't supported MSDOS since 0.105. Is there a reason to limit it to 16 rather than 256 (or whatever the limit is for modern operating systems)? What about spaces and case sensitivity?

Too bad. It would be nice to have (for example) Lock_n_Chase.zip instead of lnc.zip. What about aliases so people can use either the old rom names or new descriptive ones?
