« on: 05 June 2016, 16:06 »

Hi,
I found this .dat file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TMeZ6iEFvHTkc2TXZOOFhCRzQ/view?usp=sharing
It's in XML format.
How can I convert it in Deprecated format?
Thanks a lot for any help

clrmame Discussion / Dir2Dat scan with gamename - Need Deprecated format

« on: 05 June 2016, 15:32 »

Hi to all!
I scanned my mame 0.78 roms folder with clrmamepro4029a and I created the .dat file in Deprecated Format (I need this).

This is an example of my dat file:

Code: [Select]

game (

)

The issue is that I need of the real game name instead of the zip file name.
In the example: b]The Three Stooges In Brides Is Brides[/b] instead of 3stooges.
How can I do this in a batch (automatic) mode? Manually rename more that 4000 entry is crazyness.
Thanks to all!

EDIT:
I tried also to create the Profile loading mame.exe file.
I push Load/Update but at the end of scan the .dat file inside datflies folder is empity:

Code: [Select]

clrmamepro (
name "MAME"
description "Mame 0.78"
category "Exe Based DatFile"
author "-internal-"
exe "C:\Users\lollo78\Desktop\Mame-0.78\mame.exe"
version ""
)

If I export from Set information I have a complete DAT, but in XML format.
I can't choose Deprecated format in Set Information.
Please, help me. I need it to create an .rdb file for mame2003-libretro (Retroarch project) - XML is not supported.
