clrmame Discussion / Re: A rebuilder request and a rebuilder question
« on: 14 January 2013, 09:41 »
I can rebuild a full mame set so quickly with zip and no-recompression. I wonder if I can even get a cup of coffee in between.
Besides of that...there is no need for a full rebuild anyway. Maybe if you're a starter who only got a mess on your hd...then you do it once. The rest is handled by the scanner and when a new MAME version comes out you add the few files with the rebuilder to your existing collection.
As you might already noticed: I don't really care that much about 7z (or even torrent7z)....such things don't have any priority. 7zip's SDK is let's say it polite: not the best...and currently there are no real good alternatives (well documented dlls (not COM based) or sdks) out there...I check the lib7zip project from time to time...but for current cmpro core, the external 7z exe will be used and I don't see a chance for a change soon.
