Hacking Script to sort ROMS for the Ez Flash Jr

[febs]

I wrote a Linux script to run into the folder containing your GB or GBC ROMs.

It will unzip the (eventually) zipped files, and split all the roms so that any folder will have at most nine folders or files (that's what fits the screen with the current 1.03 firmware).
Everything is copied and sorted in a subfolder (named... "sorted") so everything is left untouched in your collection.

Here it is.

(I guess it might run as is on Mac, and by installing python and numpy on Windows as well, but that's untested).

That actually proves you wrong.

You use that fat sorter (or mine) and you are still getting the same results in the cartridge.

This tool splits.
The sorting is unrelated and is dependent on the cartridge only.

I guess you can't read source code, can't ya?

I actually did not cared about the total path name limitation of 256 characters admittedly I forgot that limitation.
I echo the opinion of those asking to work around those limitations being them quite strict.
Do you think there may be a way around those in any future release?
