So, I got a 2TB harddrive of roms (appropriately called the 'Time Capsule'). My question is how would I create rom lists for these roms?
Example:
You have 11337 of 11337 known Nintendo Super NES/Famicom ROMS (V2.04)

10 Yard Fight (A&S NES Hack)
1997 New Year FD (PD)
2.68 MHz Demo (PD) [o1]
2.68 MHz Demo (PD)
2020 Super Baseball (J) [a1][hI]
2020 Super Baseball (J) [h1C]
2020 Super Baseball (J) [hI]
2020 Super Baseball (J)
2020 Super Baseball (U) [b1]
2020 Super Baseball (U)
3 Ninjas Kick Back (U) [T+Fre1.00_GenerationIX]

Just a list of names or do you want something more in depth?

If it is just a list of names then in windows open a command line and navigate to the directory
The dir command can be made to only note names and you can pipe it to a file

in this case the command would look something like
dir /b >>a.txt
A file named a.txt would be made containing the list of names.
If you want more switches to arrange by size or whatever http://www.computerhope.com/dirhlp.htm

On linux/unix the ls command does it by default, same if you are one of those filthy mac users as well
ls > a.txt

If you need something more involved then ROM management programs have been seen to have such functionality, you could also make a SFV file for the directory and it will make a list of the file names and corresponding crc32 values or whatever you want like that.
