Title: Clrmame not reporting missing roms + CHD ?
Post by: DonVega on 14 August 2009, 07:53

Hello,

I have been using Clrmame for a lot of time now. AND I LOVE it :)
But since February I did not have the time to verify again my mame collection with each release as I used to do it.
As I am in holidays now :)
I decided to check the whole thing again.
I was uptodate until 0.129u3 missing no single rom
in 0.129u4  I missed Sets: 2/7801 and Roms: 3/114727.... But I did not have the time to search :) So it's my fault.
But now..... I dont understand. As I just updated clrmame as usual to the last version.
in 0.133U1 I miss Sets:111/8203 and Roms: 721/119724
in 0.133U2  I miss Sets:100/8214 and Roms: 618/119847

Missing
?Sets                 100/8214
?Roms                 618/119847
?CHDs                 69/412
?Samples              0/2225
?Bytes                1gb/69gb

There are some CHD missing as well.
I know that I have to update some  I am working on it.
But my question is : HOW CAN I SEE the CHDs and ROMS I am missing ?
I use split sets....
And have never experienced this before ?
Should I turn some options on ?

Thanks for your help.
Best Regards

Erm...you jumped from 129u4 to 133u1 and you wonder that you're missing stuff?

Besides of endless rom changes in between, the chd format changed in .130 where you have to update all your chds using chdman.


Anyway....You should see all issues in scanner's result tree, as always. It lists in detail what is missing (see attached screenshot)


Of course you should...

- be sure you got at least sets+roms+chds check enabled
- be sure you got all checks (missing, name, unneeded, size, etc...etc...) enabled

- be sure you didn't disable any sets (in set-information) or any systems (in 'systems') or any chd types (in 'hash & chd -> Available Regions'

- be sure you don't hide fully missing sets (Scan Tree window->popup menu->view->hide fully missing sets

Thanks a lot for YOUR REALLY FAST answer.

The changes between versions didn't scare me at all :) I am used to it
I knew something was wrong for ME ;) Not the Software (which I appreciate a LOT)
I used Clrmame since 6 or 7 years now. never had a problem with it.

The problem was hide fully missing sets.
I must somehow have turned this on. AND of course it didn'show the files i Missed.
I feel so dumb :S

I am so happy, NOW I can continue my search of missing roms.


THANKS AGAIN for YOUR HELP
Best Regards
