Title: scans that take a really long time...
Post by: CoindoorDave on 03 May 2012, 21:14

Been using clrmame for years...but lately I've had a prob with larger sets like progetto's SNAP collection...clrmame will scan for HOURS, just spinning it's wheels (I assume - there's no detail on what's it's doing...and the "Scanning Files..." windows is stuck at 0% althought the animation still rolls on moving the magnifying glass up and down over the endless array of chips).  I've tried moving the source ZIP (snaps.zip) to a local drive (C:), but it's been running for 4+ hours now. 

I'm runnin v4.05 (64-bit) on a Win7 (64-bit) laptop with 6GB of RAM, AMD A8-3510MX APU.  Any ideas?

turn off fix missing and scanner->advanced->deeper check for missing files (or whateve it is named).... both options are not recommended for such 1-set-with-thousand-roms profiles like progetto artwork.
