Thanks for considering it, too be honest I was osuggested shortnames rather than full names including manufacturers as this would cause other problems due to some differences in the search expression support in various newsreaders. Newsbin for instance use the regexlib expression list so any of these characters:- .$^{}[]()*+?/ will need to preceded by a / character

So instead of

Killer Instinct (SNES bootleg)|Power Drift (World, Rev A)|Pocket Racer (PKR1/VER.B)

it would need to be in this format

Killer Instinct /(SNES bootleg/)|Power Drift /(World, Rev A/)|Pocket Racer /(PKR1//VER/.B/)

Don't know xml at all so would it be possible to replace all the special characters in such cases?
