Title: Some of us are seeing issues with Progretto Snaps dat files...
Post by: marcsandusky on 15 February 2012, 17:38

A few of us are seeing an issue with the latest Progretto Snaps "Titles" and "InGame" dats:

Rebuilds against them work correctly.  However, scans almost appear to hang.  I peosonally gave up on a scan after three days.  I batch run my Progretto Snaps, so my settings for each are the same.  The other dats ("Versus", "Marquees", "Flyers", etc.) all seem to be fine.  The "Titles" and "InGame" dats are also the only ones updated with each uX release of MAME.  It does not seem to matter if the files are compressed.  Do you have a validation utility for dats to confirm that there are no errors?  I did notice that RomVault seems to handle them correctly (though it has other problems).  I am currently using the x64 version of ClrMAMEPro under Windows 7 x64.  I can provide screen shots of my settings if requested.  Thanks.

works fine here. Scan is just some seconds....

As usual for such 1-set definitions, you should turn off scanner->advanced->deeper check for fixable missing files

....and turn off fix-missing
