History

The ClrMame Project started in 1997. The first release was a commandline based MS-DOS application. If you now think that it was the first auditing program I have to say: no, you're wrong. There was a tiny little tool (damn..I don't remember its name) which wasn't very powerful but was the first attemp to check your MAME roms. I found it not very useful and was frustrated by cleaning sets by hand at that time. It was the time when MAME 0.26 or 0.27 was released. So I decided to write my own utility. ClrMame was written in C and was compiled with the GNU compiler. 1997 I changed it to a Windows GUI based program called ClrMame For Windows. And finally 1998 ClrMamePro was born and looks to be the most powerful ROM- Manager around. ClrMamePro is written in C++ and is currently compiled with Microsoft Visual Developer Studio .NET (VC++ 7).
