I didn't take the time to specify, but I'm talking about the folders in /roms (those sorted by manufacturer)
from retronas.
Strange, the MiSTer directory at least has WonderSwan.

wonderswan is already present, but the wonderswan color is not the same system as the wonderswan (processor/ram got an upgrade with the color).
same issue with gameboy and gameboy color, or neogeo pocket and neogeo pocket color.

If you are talking about the MiSTer folder structure, there is no need for a WonderSwan Color directory. Those directories are mapped to the MiSTer core. The WonderSwan core is also a WonderSwan Color core and when you select "Load Rom" it starts in /games/Wonderswan
by default. Personally, for my own organization, I use subfolders within the core's folders for this. For instance, I would do something like having /media/games/Wonderswan/WS
and /media/games/Wonderswan/WSC
to draw this distinction. Otherwise in the mister navigation you would click "Load ROM" and then have to go up a level and scroll down to a separate higher level folder every time you changed WSC games.
The same applies to Game Gear and SuperGrafX. Game Gear runs in the SMS directory because it's part of the SMS core. SuperGrafX runs in the TGFX16 directory because it's part of the TurboGrafx-16 core.

Ah, that makes more sense. :)
I was a bit confused at first since I'm probably not looking at the same thing as you.

Thank you for listing these. I'll add them all in soon.
Some I'm not sure on - are the Neo Geo Pocket and Pocket Color distinct from a ROMs point of view? I'm thinking less about categorisation and more about how ROMs would be accessed in emulators. If they're split on disk, it makes it difficult to access from a single menu in an emulator.
I have this same challenge with GameBoy and GameBoy Color. There are distinct emulators, however you often want all your .gc ROMs in your GBC folder anyway.
Any thoughts on that are appreciated.
[edit] Took the time to read more above, makes sense. I'll add the directories in anyway. We'll see what happens as more emulator systems come on board, and what they require from a symlinking point of view.

Systems and links added.
I had a think about PCEngine too. I've done some different symlinking to better satisfy MiSTer and other emulators that use the one emulator to deal with multiple "addons" or variations.
The changes mean the tool will potentially error out now, so people will need to rename their "nec" folder, re-run the tools, then move stuff about to where they want it.

For systems with different names from one region to another, there have always been problems.
We could use a terminology that we have often heard: original name - regional name.
For example: famicom-nes, megadrive-genesis, pcengine-turbographx...
This could be simpler/clearer than symbolic links inside the same manufacturer's folder, which I think should be used with great care.

3do seems to be another missing system (unless i'm blind)

Thanks. Added just now as roms/other/3do
.
I'll leave this issue open for people to keep adding systems.
from retronas.
Can you move this to a discussion instead and close out the issue?
