This is possible. In the games manager you can fill in a field called ROM for every game.  If you use the import function of the games manager, I found it often auto-populates this correctly, but it is just a text field, so you can fill it in or correct it as needed.

 

I am not sure I understood your second question or what you intend to do with this info. Within popper, it shows the ROM name as the game info  screen (if you filled it in).

 

But if I misunderstood your second question and you intend to make customer launch scripts, you can also reference those fields with launch scripts from within popper like this (where <custom_launch_script.bat> would be replaced with whatever launch script you are working that needs to know the rom name.

<custom_launch_script.bat> [?ROM?] 

 

It will simply replace [?ROM?] with whatever you filled in in the games manager in the ROM field. It will not be the full path. Not sure what you are trying to do.
