Why is that absurd? If I use a rom, a cfg and an artwork folder, then all the things that belong together are separated: The ROMs don't belong to each other. (Except maybe for the parent/clone stuff, but that one works with my version as well.) What does the "Pac-Man" ROM have to do with the "Street Fighter II" ROM? Nothing. But what does belong together is the "Pac-Man" ROM, the "Pac-Man" configuration file and the "Pac-Man" artwork. So, why should they be in three different locations? In this case, if I want to add or remove a game, I have to go to three folders to do something in them. If I don't use folders, I have the pacman.zip, the pacman.cfg and the pacman_artwork.zip all in one place. Sorting the games by name shows me everything that belongs together at once. Why should I have the files for one and the same game separated in many different folders?
> Have you tried combining the roms zip with the artwork zip?
That would be a workaround, but I'd like to keep the files the way they are. If I have to do this kind of stuff, I'll better take folders. I was just wondering if it is possible to direct the game to a specific artwork file that doesn't have the name of the ROM. But it seems like this option is not available.
