Title: Strange things happening with some new System Paths in MAME
Post by: guynoirnpr on 19 March 2020, 18:34
I have been updating my MAME files using clrmamepro. For the last two versions of the DAT 0.218 and 0.219 I have gotten strange results with new paths added by the DAT.

Some of the paths; specifically bbc_flop_68000, spectrum_cart, sv318_flop, and others have problems. What happens is that when you enable the path to those directories with ROMS in them, clrmamepro goes through and deletes those directories and ROMS. If you disable those paths the directories remain but clrmamepro doesn't see the ROMS. It is very strange.

I have checked the SHA1s of all the files and they are correct. Even if it found those wrong should it have removed the directory?

I am on the latest version of clrmampro 4.036a.

By the way, your nightly downloads topic is out of date by over two years. I assume you are no longer doing nightlies.

Boy am I embarrassed  for not looking at the date on the download instead of the date of the post.

Yes the fortnightly release seems to have fixed the problem. It created a new path for one of the problem paths, and the others seem to be working correctly now. Thanks for all your work.
