clrmame Discussion / Re: device_ref in MAME dat

« on: 19 August 2013, 17:52 »

hmm...actually this looks more like a bug in MAME...this happens with 149u1...not with 149.. and in u1 the device refs don't even point to a device.....guess I can raise a bug at mametesters

ok...raised it as http://mametesters.org/view.php?id=5267

you can export each loaded profile in scanner->set information -> export.

I'm not sure if that's what you were asking....
if you mean how to use cmpro with mame then you don't need a dat, you simply point to a mame binary in profiler->create.

clrmame Discussion / Re: DAT for WHDLoad recent updates (.lha archives)

« on: 10 August 2013, 19:26 »

....besides of this...if I remember correctly, LHA uses crc16 not crc32 as hash function.....which would mean even more work if I want to support it

clrmame Discussion / Re: Folders

« on: 08 August 2013, 18:05 »

hmm..ok...there are two things...
zip, rar, most likely 7z as well, can store folders directly (folder slash encoded in the name) and some archive tools add another folder entry in the archive. For zip files these are not needed and cmpro's compressor general options offer a switch to mark them as deleted. They can be removed without doing any harm.

Now with that rar file, this detection failed...which I quickly fixed...but correctly detects the obsolete entry (depending on that compressor switch) but when removing it, cmpro constructs a delete operation which looks like

winrar "d -y -ibck -m5 -s- E:\temp\test\001-421.rar 001-421"

and it seems that winrar does not remove the single folder entry but the whole folder including all files....

so it seems that this functionality should be disabled for rar files completely...unless I find maybe a different switch to remove only the 'dummy' folder entry...




so turning off the cmpro option in compressor settings won't help you at the moment since the check is not working correctly for rar files....over the weekend I will post an update...

hmm...there shouldn't be a difference in subfolder handling...send me a dat and rar to play around with it please.

« on: 07 August 2013, 06:58 »

which brings me to the question what the log options actually do...hehhe...I guess this part wasn't looked at for like a decade or so...I will check if something can be added there...

scan results only lists "issues"...so the not fixed stuff.
Scanner does however have a logfile option....actually I don't remember if it logs that rename in question...give it a try

clrmame Discussion / Re: EXE Renaming for fixing case

« on: 06 August 2013, 12:46 »

You little spy

well, I quickly linked it to the rename operation which does a circular rename check (and if it finds a circular rename it does this in-between rename first....) and in case of case fix it's actually a circular rename for it :O)
That'll be disabled soon...

clrmame Discussion / Re: EXE Renaming for fixing case

« on: 05 August 2013, 17:33 »

you're right...it does it via remove/add and not via rename
should be a rather easy change for a future version

well, ok I forgot to update the about dialog

But loading a mess xml file works fine with the change in engine.cfg, switching to it and loading it.....just tested it...





engine (
   name MESSDAT
   gamelist mess
   cachefile _messdatdat
   replace machine game
)

It works fine with that build and the addition in engine.cfg.
Be sure to: select the listed profile,  switch to MESSDAT in the drop down box and then hit LOAD...
don't try to double-click it or so
