How do you clean a MAME romset on Linux?

On Windows, I used to load the whole set of splits on Launchbox, filter out clones, mahjongs and that kind of thing, then export the thousands of remaining ROMs that are essential to life itself (If you don't need sprites like these, I don't understand you)

But I'm not seeing anything like that on Linux. Please point me in the general direction of the answer 🙏

KickSmash32 is a Kickstart ROM replacement module that can be programmed directly under AmigaOS as well as via USB-C from Linux and provides eight flash banks for different ROM files. Since version 1.6, the Amiga 1200, Amiga 3000 and 4000 models, as well as the Amiga 4000CR and Amiga 3000T, are supported.

The newly released version 1.7 offers a lot of changes:

I’m trying to play the #FrontMission (Japan) #ROM with the English fan translation patch. Here's what I’ve done so far:

✅ Verified that the original ROM matches the required hash (using the correct Japanese version).

✅ Applied the English patch successfully (IPS/BPS).

✅ Manually padded the ROM to exactly 4MB / 4,194,304 bytes, as required by the patch instructions.

✅ The #game loads and plays the intro, but when I press Start, it loops the intro again.

✅ If I let the intro run all the way, I can reach a menu, but selecting "Start Game" just resets to the intro.

✅ Using #RetroArch with various #SNES cores (#Snes9x, #bsnes, #bsnesmercury).

✅ Tried deleting save states and reloading from scratch.

Any ideas?
