RESOLVED: Problem 1 FIXED re: Replacing 4p roms with 2p versions.

Hey hows it going. First id like to say I'm new to this forum, but have been browsing and learning the art of arcade building and programming for years now. I did some research on this forum but haven't found my particular problem. I have a 2 player control panel.. 2 8 way joysticks with 6 buttons each. Naturally im trying to compile the most clean playable list of roms for that particular machine, and have recently discovered the magic of rom lister. So heres my main problem, and thanks for any help. Just to start, I decided to update the simpsons, TMNT, and TMNT Turtles in time roms. These games offer forced character selection, obviously meaning you cant just enter as player 1 and select any character. I added the 2p clones of these roms to my rom folder and updated the game list in gameex.. and I cannot get the 2p version to show up.. I then went into gameex settings and added all of the above rom names to the "do not filter" list. Nothing. Finally I went the most proactive route and straight up deleted the 4p versions, and renamed the 2p versions to the original rom name. But somehow the 4p version still loads. Is there any general advice on how to get the most correct versions for those 4p "forced character selection" games so I can play them on my 2 player machine? And furthermore, if there has already been a compiled list of these games, that would help in making sure I get them all. Thank you again, excuse me if I sound newbie-ish, or went about this the wrong way. Thank you and I look forward to learning and sharing new learned things..
