clrmame Discussion / Re: Mame Plus 145u1/Cmpro 4.03a: STV and Megatech roms not found

ah...good to hear...
...and by the way ....there is nothing missing in u3...

that should fix the "missing ones"...the rating algorithm failed on them and needed a bit of tweaking. However I don't get any failed rename operations...if you get some let me know (however it could be related to faulty zipstructures as well...so maybe rezip them).

hmm..first quick test doesn't show any issue...
your profile (at least the one from a previous post) had some issues though:

C:\Mame\Roms\stvbios is setup as system default path for the stvbios and as rompath, fine
but the software lists did not have any sysdefpath assigned nor a rompath setup...

...so I've added them, copied (not moved) all files from C:\Mame\Roms\stvbios to the newly added one for the stv software list and scanned...."astrass" (typical stv game, mentioned in your log) is not listed as missing.


So...nothing wrong here at the moment....

Can you send me your cmpro.ini file and the used .cmp file for the profile (cmpro settings folder) please....

erm....what you do is not what I think is correct...maybe a general misunderstanding....

So...step by step...

Let's assume the standard setup (without softlists)....you got a rompath A and maybe a rompath B with stv and megatech roms and the bios sets in it...

fine...let's add software lists...

multi software lists mean, you need to setup system default paths for them...

so you
a) settings->add new empty rompaths Soft_A and Soft_B
b) systems->assign Soft_A and Soft_B to the software list entries for stv and megatech....and rompath A and B to the other BIOS sets (incl. stv and megatech)
c) do a scan...of course the scanner will now tell you that each and any softlist set is not found...since you added new empty paths...if you got scanner/advanced/deeper check for fixable missing files enabled, the scanner will list most missing entries with "missing but fixable".

You could enable fix missing...but faster would be to simply copy all sets from rompath A to your soft_a folder. Since MAME mainly doubles the sets with the software list you see you have to double the sets. So scanning after copying should only list a few issues because
a) the bios sets themselves are not part of the softlists
b) some files (mainly nv files) are not part of the softlists

define mismatch.
give me some concrete example...
for mame software lists are useless anyway since currently they only double the existing ones.

News & Communication / clrmamepro 4.04 released

« on: 02 March 2012, 15:05 »

clrmamepro 4.04

fixed: scanner crash when using "mark disabled sets as unneeded"
fixed: lib assertion when removing files from zip with double listed indexes
fixed: cmpro crashes within uneeded scan when you let it add rompaths for not existing systems
fixed: rebuilder does not rebuild software lists when they got identical files in non-softlists
fixed: old deprecated dat format is broken
fixed: identical set names can fool cmpro's set check (MAME software lists)
fixed: zip rename can rarely create double entries (you may now run into some not-fixed renames in such cases)
fixed: system's unbind all only fully works after restart
misc:  added workaround for a possible MAME/MESS -listsoftware specific output error which leads to wrong rom sizes
misc:  slightly changed the text for the softwarelist import prompt and system auto detect button
misc:  changed the way how active systems are read from config

give me an example what you add where and what cmpro says...maybe with one example sample set....

You *have* to use system default paths *only* if you use *multi* software lists.

So for any standard datfile or single software list usage or MAME/MESS usage without import of software lists, you don't need to set them up.

I see you're using MAME, so don't import software lists (you're asked at the end of the data import). Hit clear cache in the profiler and reload the profile to get another chance to answer this prompt.

clrmame Discussion / Re: Rebuilder building same dupe files into zips

« on: 01 March 2012, 00:35 »

actually is pretty easy to repeat...

assume a zipfile with files: a and b and a task to rename a to b...et voila...you got 2 b's....

doesn't happen here in my latest build. It simply fixes the missing files...which takes some time...3countb not found for the softlist neogeo, so take them from the standard ones.
Remark: yes, it won't rebuild the c files since they are currently imported with a size info of 3MB (2 would be correct)....little issue in the softlist parser (currently under investigation....there is a rule to add up sizes...which seems to be correct for some systems but definetly not for neogeo)...that thingie should be fixed soon.
But generelly no endless stuff is happening here

well, I guess it's simply based on the fact that if you import neogeo software lists, scanner's fixmissing phase will try to copy each and any file from your 'standard' neogeo location to the new 'softwarelist' neogeo location...and that's of course slow.
Rebuilder will be faster or simply copy over all neogeo files manually and scan afterwards.

Keep in mind, you need to double your neogeo sets....softwarelists are like new sets, even if -in the MAME case- they are identical. Current softwarelists in MAME don't really make much sense....most files are only doubled as softlist entries.
