clrmame Discussion / Dir2Dat issue with game names ending with a dot character

« on: 04 August 2015, 22:24 »

Hi all,

I've recently encountered a problem trying to "Dir2Dat" a GoodPCE romset (v. 1.09a, latest).

e.g.:
<game name="Taito Chase H.Q.">
   <description>Taito Chase H.Q.</description>
      <rom name="Taito Chase H.Q. (J) [o1].pce" size="524288" crc="033e8c4a"/>
      <rom name="Taito Chase H.Q. (J).pce" size="393728" crc="97ff523e"/>
</game>
<game name="Takeda Shingen">
   <description>Takeda Shingen</description>
      <rom name="Takeda Shingen (J) [a1].pce" size="262144" crc="df7af71c"/>
</game>

After a scan, "Taito Chase H.Q." will be considered as wrongly named and clrmame will propose to rename it to "Taito Chase H.Q" (with no dot at the end of the title).

Is there a way to circumvent this behaviour? Possibly by editing manually the dat file?

Thanks for the help.
