Auto MGL Creation Tool

I'm not a coder by any means, I only delve into it when I must so please go easy on me but here's a dirty .bat that will clone an entire core game directory as .mgl, SD card ready.
I hope someone smarter than me finds this useful.

Thanks for creating this! This should be a handy way to create a folder with direct links to favorite games.

Cheers
Just don't run it twice in the same place or it will add a _ to every MGL folder and mess that folder up, not that it really matters as it takes seconds to make another one.
Atari2600 will create a MGL for every single file it finds also, so watch that one.

Where do the mgl files go? I'm still a little confused by these

They go on the root of the card/usb just like a core.

Never mind. Notice that I should do this with a SD-card reader

Hey, this sounds great
Can you give some pointers on how to use the script? I tried connecting over SMB and run the script in the root of the folder like this "Y:\games\PSX\USA\MGL_Maker_Cloner_V3.bat". However all I get is access denied after selecting PSX in the menu. It probably has to with file permissions.

Can you add NeoGeo CD to this tool? TIA
