clrmame Discussion / Re: Scan producing all bad rom results

« on: 24 August 2019, 20:36 »

The below came from Romset documentation on PD.  I understand what you are saying, maybe I will go with the Merged set next time.  So I guess what I heard about a few CHDs being games by themselves are false.  If I am understanding you correctly, there will always be a rom file and a CHD, but never just a CHD for one particular game.  Is that about right?

The English Tutroial link is not working http://www.mameworld.info/easyemu/clrmameguide/clrmame-guide.html

non-merged:

A non-merged set is one that contains absolutely everything necessary for a given game to run in one ZIP file.

Remark: Even though Non-Merged games -normally- DO NOT include BIOS or DEVICE files within the game, in the case of the PD non-merged set we DO include these within the game, which ensures that every single game can be copied and ran as individual game without the need of any extra files. This makes a set like this ideal for splitting up on a per-game-basis.

The non-merged set is ideal for those people that work on Arcade PCBs as ALL roms/devices/bios files are contained within the game. This set is also great for those that for instance create their own arcade cabinets and want to copy only very specific games to their PC/Rapsberry/Other, the game.zip file contain all the files needed, no more searching for the dependent parent files, BIOS files, device files - just copy galaga.zip and you are set.

Pick individual games from this set if you are not intending to download a complete ROM set.

Ok, thank you. I went there, but as the directions say, it's under complete re-write and not available.  I decided to use the Non-Merged as I heard it was better for Arcades systems and Launchbox.  At least that's what the mame site said.  Unless I missed it, I would think a list of CHDs and MAME roms that are working, not working, and CHDs required would be available each Mame release.

That's pretty much all I want to do with CLRMamePro.  I also heard some CHDs are games by themselves so I would like to know which ones those are if they are playable.  I will re-run that CLRMamePro test and see

I didn't use a dat file, I simply followed the instructions herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mdrJ8J3Fr4
The exact set I am using is "MAME 0.212 ROMs (non-merged)"

I have tried to use CLRMamePro to compile a list of the latest .212 Split rom, but I keep getting an error when running a check. I am using .212 Split from PD. The end goal is to find out What CHDs are working so I can grab them, and I was told there are a few CHDs that are games by themselves and I would like those too. I'm just trying to keep a personal database of my own to figure out what I need to grab or delete in future updates.   They give similar errors like "Centipede (bootleg, set 1) [folder: centipdb - parent: centiped - size: 14kb]
wrong placed file: K:\Emulators\MAME\roms\centipdb\136001-211.f7 (move to parent: centiped)
wrong placed file: K:\Emulators\MAME\roms\centipdb\136001-212.hj7 (move to parent: centiped)
wrong placed file: K:\Emulators\MAME\roms\centipdb\136001-213.p4 (move to parent: centiped)"
This is a brand new set obtained from PD so I know the files are good
