clrmame Discussion / 3 tiny issues
« on: 13 September 2015, 11:03 »
I finally got the time to scan my whole romset with the latest version of CMP.
All is OK now, but I have some tiny issues to report.
My settings: Merged zip sets, very few CHDs and some drivers disabled (naomi.c and a few others not working).
1) Some CHDs games gave missing ROMs error (see image below).
I actually had all the zipped sets (without the CHD) for each game, so I had no clue at first. Eventually, I figured out those were subfolders in the rompath and deleted them, after moving ALL the CHDs subfolders out, in order to get a hint from the scanner .
I understand roms in subfolders are allowed (no idea who actually use uncompressed roms), but I in the Profile, under the Compressor settings, 'Mark useless folder struct as unneeded (Scanner only)' was checked. Maybe CMP should have warned about those folders?
2) Some clone CHDs in Bios based sets gave different errors. If the folder wasn't created, gave a missing set error; and if existed, it gave a wrong merged rom set error (see image below)
In the end I checked 'Allow CHDs in ROMPath root', which solved my issue, but I think it's a workaround. Was there a better solution?
3) CMP stores the settings for my enabled/disabled drivers, but each time the cachefiles are removed, those settings gets inverted. So I enter 'Set Information' in the scanner and re-invert them. Is there a way to remember the settings correctly?
Thanks in advance.
