This would put all the information required to regenerate the rom/spoiler in the rom name, so that you don't have to keep track of the settings string.

There is a small problem with this suggestion, and that is that the short-settings-string can contain characters that are not allowed in filenames.

oh. hm. that's a tough one; how long is the "long" settings string, usually? i guess we could do a system where the default settings are not listed, but any changes from them are, allowing a human to put the settings back in.

hey, why can't we just use url encoding? replace all problematic characters with %{ascii code}: they get resolved when you use it on the site, ~~% works in filenames~~ (sorry, bringing my linuxisms into this: we could just use any specific character regardless (maybe a -?)), and conversion is trivial.
