The Solution to large ROM libraries

[Mavtak]

I have a lot of ROMs, and they aren't all from the same platform. Also, there are just so many that it's a pain to get to the few that I play regularly. My solution to this was to write a program to index all of my ROMs and allow me to search my ROM library, rate my ROMs, and double-click to play. I call it the Fantastic Rom Indexer, or FRI for short. I made it available for download on my blog, and I'm interested to get feedback.

Here's a really quick demo of the basic functionality of FRI: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/272

Here's a tutorial on how to set up and use FRI, aided by pictures: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/310

A link to the latest version of FRI is available here: http://mypieceoftheinter.net/archives/category/projects/fri-projects


Here's some screenshots of FRI version 1.0.0.0.
