Before I look into trying to create my own, does anyone know of a script already out there, to borrow some nomenclature from everdrive packs, official "revisions" of releases?

In an effort to help "tame" the core list, I am looking to only bring those, in an automated fashion, at least. And manually "cherry pick" any hacks/homebrew/unofficial I bring in.

Thanks for chiming in on this. It is a bit different, but any work already done to organize or curate the alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

My current plans are to use some basic regex filters on filenames, and then probably some "include" lists for unofficial MRAs I do want.

Take a look at the RetroDriven MisterMame script https://github.com/RetroDriven/MiSTerMAME

It sorts the "alternative" mra files in separate folders. Maybe it helps you get started with your own script.
