Title: wrong missing set scans
Post by: donnyj on 09 July 2009, 03:59

I was having a REALLY long scan time, so I disabled check for missing. This didn't increase the speed. On a whim, I disabled the "deeper check for fixable missing files" option. This "fixed" the speed. Should the deeper check run when fix missing is disabled? (I hope I haven't reported/asked this question before)

Usually deeper check for missing files is not a speed killer. There are some rare cases where it is but this usually depends on the used datfile (one set with 19347141 roms can be one of the cases).

"Fix missing scans all sets" is a real speed killer. "sha1/md5" checks too.

wow, quick reply!!!

what I am trying to ask is why is it doing advanced scanning when fix is unchecked? And yes, it is using a very large .dat file (Nokia N-Gage from No-Intro)

The option actually *IS* for not-fixing ;)

Since when fix missing is enabled it will do this check anyway.

If fix-missing is disabled that mentioned option will show something like
missing BUT FIXABLE rom: blabla (<where it can be found>)
if it's not enabled you will only see
missing rom: blabla
