clrmame Discussion / Re: Lesminni ROM Auditor

« on: 13 June 2009, 13:13 »

Okay, but in the case of smc (SNES) roms, where do they fit in. If the roms you have are .nes, .gb, .smc.. then these are not romsets, they are just roms. Are romsets specific to MAME and arcade emulators?

Just to entertain me, can you confirm that a rom (that is an .smc or a .nes for example) can be compared against a dat list, thus "verified"? I think using Ucon64 I was able to at least extract the real info from the ROM with a compatible dat list and if the features worked/alwed the ROM could have been given the thumbs up or down as a propper dump (i.e. not a hack).

Thank you.

Not much luck again, I didn't quite understand 'c' and have made a new video showing what I did. Its so much more interesting with a video don't you think

clrmame Discussion / Re: My video frustrations

« on: 07 June 2009, 22:42 »

Okay, I spent the whole day today (again) looking at Clrmamepro and trying to figure it out. I managed to install it using Wine, which went well and even managed to make a video tutorial of that, however the familiar frustrations crept in when using Clrmamepro ..so I made a video of it. I sound a bit grumpy I know, but you would if the issue persisted.

Basically you can now see where I'm coming from, I am now hoping somebody can create a video to show how this thing is actually supposed to work, in practice. The only video help I have ever seen is in Spanish/Portugese on Youtube, aside from that I really have tried using the online guides.

My problem as you know is a home based console one but SDLMess just looks naff and the devs on it say that its not got an audit option. So I know that Clrmamepro is not going to help me with console ROMs (or that's what I think) but tried Arcade games just to see it work. As you can see I failed miserably, any help?

Thanks for the reply but I hate look of CLrMAMEPro, its just ugly and hy shouldn't Mac have its own software I think. Plus its so hard to understand and use. I think that Mac should have its own solution and Lesminni could be it, well there isn't much else.

I thought Dat-o-matic was the source for the most up to date dat files, they have the most recent activity I think. Anyway, seem as though I can't even figure out (even with the help guides) how to use ClrMAMEPro then I was hoping somebody might take a look at Lesminni, if they have access to a Mac, and try and get it working. It sounds like it should be simple I know..

Thanks.

clrmame Discussion / Lesminni ROM Auditor

« on: 03 June 2009, 02:16 »

Okay well here goes, I am a Mac user and there isn't really a lot as far as checking ones ROMs go on the Mac. There is ClrMAMEPro on the PC sure but not for Mac. However there has just been a new release of Lesminni, which I believe to be similar in working to ClrMAMEPro: http://github.com/MatthewCallis/Lesminni/tree/master

The problem is I don't know how ClRMAMEPro works, I actually don't even get it, what its supposed to do. I have an idea of what I want though: basically that is for a program to use the dats provided by dat-o-matic to proof a downloaded rom against the 'clean' list, thus verifying it. This then would guarantee that the game you play on your emulator was the exact same one you played on your console - no hacks, no flaws.

So, if anybody has access to a Mac, can they please try out Lesminni to see if it does actually do this. Because I can't figure it out at all, you have read what I want to do (and I think its important), but the whole scene is too complicated for me.

And yes I have tried, tried a lot and read all the tutorials.

Thanks for your help.
