Title: CMP and mass rebuilding of ROMs
Post by: Stef on 12 September 2017, 15:32
Hi all,

Swift question, and I may/hope I'm just missing something ...


I've been a long term user of CMP mainly for MAME, but just recently I've been trying to rebuild a full set of TOSEC roms using it, I have an old full set which is outdated, so I'm hoping to get what I have re-arrangeed to the best it can be so I can join a torrent at the best possible %.

Now I can import all the .dat files into CMP in one hit, but the issue I am having is you don't seem able to set each target folder individually for the rebuild, so it will fly through all the .dats and pull out the files it needs, but dump them all in one folder, which is like half the job.

I'm fearing this isn't possible in CMP and i'll have to go through the hundreds of folders 1 by 1 to set the destination paths for rebuilding?


Regards

Stef

That's a job for the batcher..

drag'n drop the datfiles in the profiler and when loading them, select more than one...this will let the batcher open..

There you will find options to auto-create/assign rompaths etc etc...

Guess there are some tosec gurus here in the forum which can give some more details.....

I've found the 'auto-create/assign rompaths' section under the 'Misc' tab, it was already ticked and filled in which means I must of set it that way the last time I tried when it dumped all the ROMs all in one folder. I originally used a batch file from the TOSEC website to populate the root folder with all the subfolders, I've deleted all these and will let another mass rebuild create them individually as it goes, which it seems to be doing now, so fingers crossed.

Maybe there was an issue with the sub folders already existing when CMP tried to create them?


Anyway, thanks for the swift reply Roman, I'll let this run it's course, which will take a few hours and see what happens ...
