Homebrew Application to rename ROMs

[pven]

I am looking for an application to rename ROMs to start with a number. Ie. currentley there are a lot of ROMs on my disk with a logical name (pacman.nds, tetris.nds), I want to rename them to 0001 pacman.nds and 0002 tetris.nds).

Is there a tool available that can do some kind of checksum-check and rename the ROM?

I personal use offlinelist, but if you have a slot one flashcart you could always use rominator i believe. You can find out more about that by searching the forum.

Is it possible to rename ROMs by using offlinelist?

I am not sure if you are asking for a DS side application for renaming or a PC one.

DS side
There is an application aimed at renaming (edit) viewing roms. My bad.

There are several apps aimed at renaming files in general and there is DSlinux as well (which has a unix command line with all that it entails).

PC side
Bridgy84 is correct, there are loads of apps aimed at renaming roms.
rominator is a common one

Offline list. There is an official dat as I recall but most stick to ADVANsCEne or no-intro for naming lists.
http://offlinelist.free.fr
http://www.advanscene.com/
http://nointro.free.fr/ and http://www.no-intro.org/ no-intro also support dats for the DS for several other slightly older apps.

ADVANsCEne also have their own and/or host forums for two others called ndscrc and rtoolds

There was a java one called rofage released a few months back:

A note, you mentioned checksum. If you trimmed the roms or patched them in some way the checksum will not match that in the list. There are a few that rename according to the header though.

Yeah, I didn't know it at first either, but you can activate the renamer in the options. You can specify a folder with your roms in it and it will automatically rename them, zip them in whatever format you like (zip, rar or 7z) and even move them if they're nuked.

I didn't know SunOL could do the same on DS... Sounds interesting actually. I thought it did nothing more than listing roms with some info.

Thanks!

Rominator did the job, but I wil defenitely check offlinelist.
