clrmame Discussion / Re: Wrong names for CHDs folders

Thanks Roman, as you can imagine this is not a serious problem and we can wait all the time you need 

You were faster than me.... and of course your solution is the one I thought, not using system paths.

Thanks again

clrmame Discussion / Re: Wrong names for CHDs folders

« on: 03 January 2017, 09:18 »

Good morning Roman,

I thought it was a good idea not to send the attachments until you were back. Attached you have both files.

These days, I've been trying different options with a fresh CMpro folder and a fresh MAME folder with only 2 sets (area51 and area51t) and I can reproduce the same problem. Both CHDs are placed in D:\MAME\CHDs\area51 and the romfile area51.7z is placed in D:\MAME\roms (all my rom files are 7z).

If I don't use system folders the scan is perfect for both sets but if I enable them I get the "Fix wrong set name" error (attached JPEG). With only 2 sets the system folder is the roms folder for all sets. When using all the roms I have a folder for roms (roms) and another one for mechanical sets (mechanical).

I think the problem is related to the way CHDs are scanned when system folders are enabled, because I also get the warning about "wrong SysDefPath" when some subfolders should be in the roms folder instead of in the CHDs folder ("2spicy" is one example).

Last, about the system, I'm using Windows 7 64bits and CMPro 4.031c with all enabled sets.

I hope this information can be useful.

Thanks!!!!

clrmame Discussion / Wrong names for CHDs folders

« on: 28 December 2016, 07:55 »

Hi everyone,

I have using ClrMame since its first versions (with MAME 0.30), and I find it to be perfect. Thanks a lot for such a fantastic program.

Recently I'm having a little problem with CHDs and merged sets, and maybe I have done something wrong, because it seems that I'm the only one with this problem, which started with version 4.031, I think.

I use a specific folder for CHDs, with subfolders for the different parent sets containing parent and clones CHDs (for example, the folder area51 contains area51.chd and area51t.chd). Now, when I scan the sets I get a message about wrong names for some folders (50 of 476) and ClrMame is suggesting to use the name of a clone set for this folder, even when the CHDs is the same one for the parent and clone sets.

For example,  for "firefox" which has a clone set "firefoxa" and only one CHD, the error is:
wrong name: D:\MAME\CHDs\firefox [wrong: D:\MAME\CHDs\firefox] [right: firefoxa] [not fixed]

Another issue that maybe related to the previous one is that I get several messages about "wrong SysDefPath" because some subfolders should be in the roms folder instead of in the CHDs folder. For this, I guess that it's my fault because the CHDs should be in the roms folder and not in a different folder, since I set all the systems to be stored in the roms folder. Solved, it was my fault as I guessed.

Thanks for all your work, and Roman enjoy your holidays!!!!
