clrmame Discussion / Re: clrmame (scanner 0.07, rebuilder 0.14) released
« on: 03 November 2024, 12:51 »
Thank you Roman!
Since I've finally got rid of Windows for good, I'm really appreciating the consideration you're giving to Linux.
Who knows, maybe one day we might even see native Linux versions of these great tools of yours

Thank you!!!
I haven't scanned files since I've started using the rebuilder, time to have a check

clrmame Discussion / Re: New Scanner (WIP)
« on: 13 June 2024, 19:07 »
Hi Roman
I agree with nullz3, I'd rather have clear and OS-independent folders for everything
Last but not least, I'm a bit old-fashioned too

While some minor things come in here and there, I've spent time on writing the readme for the scanner. Actually I've combined the rebuilder with the scanner package so that only one readme is in the package describing scanner and rebuilder....
Two things I still think about are:
- should the backup folder be visually available (and required) or automatically chosen (and can be altered in the settings xml....like the temp folder, which is automatically something in your %TEMP% folder but can be changed)...I somehow prefer a visible available one....
- should the settings xml, and some created folders (scans, fixdats and exports) be moved to %APPDATA% by default. I still somehow prefer having everything in one non-uac protected folder...but most likely since I'm old fashioned...Surely I could do it by default in %APPDATA% and you could edit in the settings xml....
MAME on the otherhand creates it ini files in its folder, too....
Maybe I start with the old fashioned way.....I mean you're used to it when you used clrmamepro.......and we talk about a 0.0x version here..
So....comments are welcome....

No caching taking place, rest assured, multiple runs take consistently around 500-510s with reboots in between
It should be noted that it's a powerful machine (12 core/24 thread, 64GB RAM, different SSD's for rebuilder source and target), but still the same I was using with rebuilder v0.05
The easy consideration would be that the new rebuilder scales linearly to the number of threads, but I suspect the relative performances of the source and target SSDs may play a role as well
Regardless, it's a huge improvement - at least for me

Hmmmmm "a nice speed boost" you say? Man I've just got a 234% speed increase!!!
I've reprocessed my latest full update job, and it took far less than half the time it took with rebuilder v0.05 (510s vs. 1194s. 42% of the time)
Whatever magic you've applied to Rebuilder v0.06, that's the way to go!!!

Thank you Roman, will test its performance ASAP
Unrelated: should the rebuilder deserve its own thread now? I do understand it's the "next cmp" so to speak, but still...

I'm late this time but a huge THANK YOU for moving forward this! Will give it a spin ASAP
Rebuilder 0.05 released
https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/binaries/rebuilder_v005.zip
https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/binaries/readme.html
0.05 has a major unicode update, so now all your utf8 chars (no matter if in the datfile, in archives, in folders, in log output etc) should be handled correctly.
As a small extra...(I had a little time and wanted to see how easy it is to reuse the core) I've added rebuilderUI ;-)
It's a tiny UI for the rebuilder....the options should be easy to understand since they match the commandline parameters. The log list has a context menu and the window is resizable (things you don't see on the screenshot below).
RebuilderUI (rebuilderUI.exe) saves its settings in settings_ui.xml while the commandline rebuilder (rebuilder.exe) uses settings.xml. Both need the 7z.dll.
Hope you enjoy it...

No rush, the most important component is the rebuilder and it's working already.
The CMP scanner still does its job, so no rush at all

Personally I'd privilege portability (Linux) over a GUI any day, but of course a GUI may help the less technically inclined.
I'm really looking forward to some kind of a scanner (sorry for being pushy), either as a separate tool or as a function of the existing rebuilder.
After that I can finally retire CMP for good, after "just" a few decades of honorable service
Thanks

Had a first round of testing with v0.4, nothing wrong to report: it's *really* fast, and convenient to use.
Any thought about a scanner to complement the rebuilder, Roman? It's the only thing I'd feel the need for, to check the rebuilt set for missing bits n pieces..
Thanks for your work!

Forgot to mention: as I plan to make regular use of the new Rebuilder, feel free to involve me as a guinea pig tester for it and any related tools that you might eventually come up with
I'm not a programmer but I have enough compute and storage available to do some serious testing if needed

Yes I've seen Bit7z mentioned in the rebuilder readme, I was wondering why not using the 7zip library directly - but I guess it doesn't make a difference in the end.
Anyway great stuff in progress, I'm definitely looking forward to the new Rebuilder (toolset) as the future of clrmamepro!
Last but not least, on Linux too!!!
Thanks
