No prob bro I'm here all week.

Nice thing about the method I employed is that it is backward compatible with the old skins. In fact you can even rename the directories with no issues, just as long as you keep the numbers the same. Since the name kinda makes it clear what the sprite is.
Actually I'd like to thank cospefogo for bringing the filter issue to my attention again. For some reason I thought they were already messed up. But it's possible I changed something.
Although at the moment I'm a bit puzzled why the filters are messed up. I looked thru commonfuncs and didn't see anything that I may have accidently altered. That only leaves a couple functions in each emulators .cpp file. But I figure if the behavior is affecting both atarixlbox AND a7800x something must have been altered somewhere. It may take me a while to figure out what though.
