think i may have found my own solution. I tried this out and it helped out quite a bit:

here’s a video to a sample of the results:

hope this helps out everyone who needed more MAME rom info.

Thanks for the help so far. I was able to have AdvanceMAME output an XML file thru the terminal. I found advmame’s gamelist.xml but it only seems to have the games that were recently played and looks nothing like advmame’s XML.:
ES XML:
<gameList>
<game>
<path>./(name of ZIP)</path>
<name>(ROM name)</name>
<playcount>2</playcount>
<lastplayed>20150507T012742</lastplayed>
</game>
</gameList>

Is there another XML file emulationstation uses? or is there a way to implement the advmame XML file somewhere?

EDIT: found this perl script that sorta helps:

gets close to auditing the ROM’s but not all.
