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!!!!
