Just Open it in notepad.exe in windows or the corresponding texteditor if you use Another OS.

You're probably right. I went to the github page and right clicked on the name of the file and saved it.

I didn't see a download for it.

Ok. So, I went back went to the code and downloaded the zip file.
Unzipped it and vooilaa! It doesn't have the html info anymore.

Thanks.

So, I got the script to run... But, now I am noticing that it didn't look at all the .nes files.

Is there still a problem?

or is it limited to how many .nes files?

no limit, if it doesn't process the .nes file, then its probably already ines2, a bad dump or not in the list

Ok. Cool. Thanks for all of your help.

Is Mesen a good emulator to look at the header of a rom?
Do you know if there is a list out there of .nes roms that don't work with MiSTer?

Check out the MiSTer NES core page for supported mappers: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NES_MiSTer
Use this page to see what games have what mapper: https://nesdir.github.io/

after putting them through the script. and still find out they don't work, how do I find out if the rom has the wrong mapper? and then how do i change a mapper if the rom has the wrong one?

check the header in Mesen or other ines header software and change to the correct mapper.
If the mapper is not supported, you can always request it here: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5

To change the actual mapper of a NES game, you'll need some serious 6502 assembler knowledge

I will work on it, and see what i find out.
Thank you for all your help! Awesome! Appreciated.
