Sure - I’ll try to explain.
Lakka’s auto playlist creator missed a lot of my roms, so I found this Windows Powershell script that will create a Lakka playlist by scanning a directory:
http://pastebin.com/5Y9qmB4U
It just needs a folder to point to as the “Lakka install” (any folder with a playlists sub folder will be fine), and then the directory to scan.
You can just comment out or delete the if statement
If($ROMExtension -eq “.zip”){
$ROMZip = Get-ZipFile $ROMPath
$ROMPath = “$ROMPath#$ROMZip”
}
As this will put the entry into the Zipped Rom format described here: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Playlists/
The final result should be a playlist that looks like this (notice it does NOT have #contra.nes as part of the zip path):
/storage/roms/NES/Contra.zip
Contra
/tmp/cores/nestopia_libretro.so
NES / Famicom (Nestopia UE)
DETECT
Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System.lpl
If you already have a playlist, and just want to remove the #rom_name, you can use Notepad++ (or any text editor that supports regular expression find/replace)
Open the playlist, put this in the find (no quote) “#(.*)$” and keep the Replace box empty. Make sure to set the search mode to “regular expression” if using Notepad++ (its in the find/replace dialog)
Finally, it may or may not apply to you, but in my situation, my roms were extension-less. Explicitly pointing to which core to use in the playlist was not enough for Lakka, so I had to unzip all the roms, then add “.nes” to the file, then rezip. Some Google searches helped point to Powershell scripts that did all that work for me.
