What are the chances that you could add a text editor to the back-end screen (same one with updates/orientation/etc) that points to the ROMLIST folder so that folks could drop in to the editor and make edits to romlists at the cabinet? It would save plenty of time and a bunch of paper (I currently write down ROMs that need changing from current lists, etc).
Of course the editor would also have to load up with a large font.

Re: In-Cab Editing
It would be possible to add specific files to the service menu, it would be less straight forward to point at the folder and give options. You can already do it though, with just a little more effort, from the command line.
If you exit the service menu to the terminal you can press: 'win'+'alt'+'f' to fullscreen and improve the scaling of the terminal.
Once that's done, type:
nano .attract/romlists/[nameOfList].txt
and you'l be in a text editor...
Individual games can also be edited from inside Attract-Mode by pressing 'e' to edit the highlighted game.
Editing the list in either way will be overwritten if the romscanner gets run.
