 Here is what I propose. I could add an option to the player setup
screen to allow for Multiple Disks/Roms for that particular emulator,
and then as long as the files are named Majong.1.adf, Majong.2.adf (or
Majong-1.adf, Majong-2.adf, etc) they will be detected.

 A single entry for Majong.adf(The .adf will not be displayed in the 
tree list) will be placed in the database along with a detected disk count
placed in a field named disks.

 You can then use %d1 %d2 %d3 etc etc to represent each disk in the
commandline.  This keeps the code generic enough to be applied to any of
the various players or gametypes.

 Do you mean store "Mahjong" Instead of "Mahjong.adf" ? I don't think
that's really needed as there is already a field for that which is currently
being filled with the rom filename. I could easily make it not display the
extension in the tree. Eventually I want to try and auto fill that field with
a prettier name when scanning for games.

 I just don't see the value in this. The metadata all gets wiped when doing
a game scan, and there just isn't much beyond Genre, Year, and Game Name
that would be worth editing. My goal is to have as much of that auto
filled in for as many different gametypes as possible.
