Playchoice-10 game naming convention

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MARP Editors : One Thread

Along with this issue, i might also direct those of you to the "Higher res" screenshot thread that hasn't been responded to and should in the Marp Webpage discussion.

The new PC10 games are called pc-cntra etc... when mame calls them pc_cntra. Was there a problem calling them the underscore name? i think we should change the name to the mame name and lose the dash just for conformity, so we don't have names like t4-pc-cntra where dashes can become ambiguous to parsing programs. Also, i'll have to test it out but, what screenshot filename would i upload, pc-cntra or pc_cntra?

Chad,

It's fixed now, so MAME and MARP names are in synch. Problem is that I can't enter game names with _'s in them. However, I can fool the system by renaming the original entries!
