I was wondering if anyone had a cleaned list for mame they are willing to share? I'm looking to see if I can find a list that has only the games with working themes or a list without any clones or repeated games. I'd appreciate the help.

You can get a zip with listings of all the new REPACKED themes at the link below. It has three text files in it. One is the minted set AS OF NOW. NOTE: these lists will change shortly after the changeover as new themes not yet approved will have to be repacked and added to the list. However, these are final for MAME only. The three files are:
mamemintnew.txt - list with rom names only, would work fine for moving only the mame roms you have themes for using a simple batch file. This is what I used to preset my roms folder for the new release. Batch code could look something like (placed in your mame roms source):
for /f %%R in (mamemintnew.txt) do copy %%R c:\mameexecutablelocation
it could actually be used command line, but if anyone needs a specific batch pm me, I've got this down pretty well now.
For the others you'd replace "mamemintnew.txt" with the name of the zip. The other two files relate to the full download page set which includes duplicates and where all themes are named with the new convention: gamename-creator(YYYYMMDD).zip and will have to be renamed per game. (PS, I can batch the renaming very easily as well due to the convention's consistency. I will release a simple batch for this at the time of new release. Lastly, the mamedupelist.txt has a list of "duplicate" themes which will also have to ve renamed. Renaming essentially is clipping the -creator(date) off of the zip and as such can simply be done using batch scripting.

Any questions, PM me. Also, I could make lists for the other existing themes as well.

just set themes only = true in HyperHQ and only the games with themes will show up in the wheel. Add a new theme, and it auto-populates.
