And with xmame there comes this nice script called romalizer (hello Christopher) wich will take care of the renaming issues. For the rom-patch makers (Pete and the others) please ignore such renames! Also I hope it aren't real patch files because that would mean that the binaries of the zips have to match your original set. :-\ I would prefer a tar file contain just the files to add to each zip-archive and let romalizer take care of the rest.
