Post by: pucci on 06 October 2023, 21:41

the new SEGA All and Teknoparrot dats are unusable with ClrMAME Pro because they require empty directory support

So not really MAME related ;-)

hmm...wonder where md5/sha1 comes from ;-)

Well, easiest would be to auto-add an empty file when it finds a name ending on "/" when it loads the dat
...but then of course you'd have to add the files (can't get rebuilt due to missing hashes)...
will think about it....but don't count on any solution any time soon ;-)
