clrmame Discussion / Re: ClrMame Pro seems slow scanning Maygay Roms

Thanks for the info; it certainly helps.
Finding the 2 missing files that were shared across the maygay sets and using the rebuilder did the trick.  Not sure where I picked up the drag-n-drop workflow from.

Thanks again!

Hi
To further expand on my last post - trying to fix the missing roms issue (there's two GALs that have been added to all the Maygay sets) by dragging a zip (funnily enough not containing the required files ...) to the results window with the fix missing check box ticked causes the really long running behaviour.

Looking at may NAS access logs I can see it is working its way through all ~1000 m1* Maygay sets, for each of the Maygay sets its trying to fix, so if I left it running it would do it 1000*1000 times, which seems to be a cause of slowness.

I'm wondering given the 'strangeness' of the Maygay machines (lots of variants, all sharing similar/same roms) it's uncovered some slowness?

Anything I can do to help diagnose what is going on?  It's a fantastic program!

Hi
I also suffered the same issue.  Disabled AV and "Deeper check for fixable missing files" with no success.  Only when I unticked the fix option for "Missing" was it able to get past the Maygay roms.

I access my ROMs over the network as they are on a NAS, so I think the added latency in opening the file is really highlighted for some reason.  Another thing I noticed is all the "meta-sets" (not sure the right terminology - things like the keyboard controllers and cartridge slots/etc) all add a pause to the scanning process, whereas normal rom sets fly by nice and quickly.
