The Romset files are not used by default on all emulators. You might have recognized that the names of the ROM images are saved in resources. Loading a Romset file now just means a ‘shortcut’ to changing all the resources with ROM image names and reloading the ROMs.
The PET and CBM-II emulators use this feature to change between the different ROM versions available for those machines. E.g. the Romset file for the PET 2001 is
KernalName="pet2001" EditorName= ChargenName="chargen" RomModule9Name= RomModuleAName= RomModuleBName=
As you can see, the file even uses the same syntax as the resource file, it is just a bit stripped down.
While a Romset file is processed, the directory where the Romset file
was found is temporarily prepended to the search path (Directory
resource). This also means that if you have a setting for
Directory
in it, its effect is limited to the Romset file itself.
-romsetfile <File>
load the given romset file
-romsetarchive <File>
load the given romset archive
-romsetarchiveselect <Item number>
select the given item from the current romset archive
