Merge option for generated TLD MISTer files? #95

Hi!

I use ExoDOSConverter in "MISTer" mode to add some games from my eXoDOS collection to the "MISTer" collection.

ExoDOSConverter generates also the appropriate index files for TDL used by "MISTer" (FILES.IDX and TITLES.IDX) but how can I merge them with the existing one?

Hi !

I'm not sure you can, but @flynnsbit who know MISTeR much better than me might have a more detailled response

New front end is close to release that will make the index process irrelevant. I don't personally think it will be worth it but in theory you could integrate memmaker's script for adding and removing games from an existing index into ExoDOSConverter. https://github.com/memmaker/mister_dos_tools/blob/master/index.py
