Introduction
This little tool can be used to create a large binary file from a directory with ROM files, that can be imported into the MSXpico (in a future firmware update).
The name of the ROM file will be parsed to determine the mapper used by the ROM and the minimum MSX generation it requires.
The naming convention for the ROM files is:
"Name that will appear in the MSX pico menu_mapper_generation.rom"
Examples
A1 Spirit (1987)_konami5_msx1.rom
Akumajyo Drakyula - Vampire Killer (1986)_konami4_msx2.rom
Athletic Land (1984)_plain4000_msx1.rom
