clrmame Discussion / Re: MAME .270 ...and the new tools

« on: 26 September 2024, 14:16 »

I have several errors like can't read C:\mame_temp\coh3002t\tt16 due to ios_base::failbit set: iostream stream error

I'm trying to rebuild entire mame set from unpacked files.

Latest 7-Zip beta does have included zstandard compression method.

I was curious about new compressor so after tests I added example file because You ask it
Personally I'm more interested in chds delta since it saves a lot more space. Besides we already have support for rar and 7z in MAME so zstandard won't change to much I think.

I did some tests with 7zip that has zstandard built. zstandard appears to be a sometimes a little bigger sometimes a little smaller with comparison to 7z ZLMA2. RAR it's even again a little bigger than zstandard or 7zip but it's faster.

I did some tests and appears to be working correctly but of course not all chds are converted.

That's lot of disk space

Yeah, I've seen this issue. For now feature in test but I was curious how much it could save disk space and time for full test chds. Guess we have to wait a bit before full switch to deltas

Ok, I've converted couple of chds into delta but right now scanner (full with chd integrity check) shows those deltas as entegrity check failed

I didn't have any, so far

Window was behind scanner window

I think I miss something here. I don't see any warnings about delta after full scan even if I choose option about showing delta. Do I have to full scan with crc checking of chds ?

More realistic versus my previous tests

Anyway it's improvement comparing to version 005.

This time for version 254 and archives in zips so test differs from previous but I think most people will rebuild from zip files so it's more realistic scenario.

Worth to mention that some zip archives have different crcs (for example 1941.zip) but size and files inside are exactly the same. Most of zips are exactly the same. I assume that clrmamepro adds some files into zips with different order.

Rebuilded from the same source. Started at 7:15 ended about 12:35 so more than 5 hours was needed for entire process

clrmame Discussion / Re: rebuilder 0.05 released

« on: 16 April 2023, 18:18 »

Whole process started exactly 16:00:00. 7:58 took scan rebuild process was ended exactly at 20:16:10.

Now let's see how it will take with use of clrmame.

It's intentional - I'm not sure if source zip file is checked against any errors so I need everything rezipped. Anyway 46 % done and about 2 hours and 40 mins passed.

« on: 16 April 2023, 16:15 »

Rebuilder reported 170398 unique roms. 23% and about 2 hours pass. I'm using rezip method but this probably does not matter since all roms are extracted from zip archives.

CHDs are removed for now

Target directory is on clean/formatted partition.
