Long time ago. You couldn't put all the ROM's paths on there. Be way too many to load up all at once. It just load some of it back then. Others would be skip on loading. Which is why I was doing it the other way around so the paths can be loaded a lot cleaner. There was a limited back then on loading the paths. That is how come there so many ini files so the paths won't be over loaded.
What you saying is that it can be done. I didn't know it can be done now. Starting doing this way today.
Anyway. Works fine with the 0.170 and below on the nes.ini and others. Just won't work on the 0.171 and up. Been change.
I do have 61 ROM's paths. 1 MAME/MESS ROM's path and 60 softwarelist ROM's paths.
