A quick/rudimentary way to remove the 'numbering' from the front of game files to help order alphabetically

EASY TEXT GUIDE:

If your ROM folder structure looks something like:

GBC SNES PSX .. ..

Put the Python script outside of ALL of them like this:

GAMES> rename.py GBC SNES PSX .. ..

And then when prompted, input the file directory like so:

GBC/

If your files look like:

001 Pokemon Ruby 002 Legend of Zelda 003 Megaman Zero ..

Then you would want to remove 4 digits (script will remove however many digits you set at the BEGINNING of the file name), so if you input 4, the files will come out like this:

Pokemon Ruby Legend of Zelda Megaman Zero ..

Feel free to add onto this script/modify it to be even better.
