clrmame Discussion / Omg. look what i confusion i have made on my roms collection. Help :)

« on: 05 July 2023, 10:05 »

I remember i have already spoken here about a similar issue about one half years ago...... recently i have update my mame to 0.256 and made a "scanner" whit clrmamepro and look at right now the result:


or miniature here:


I have, from clrmamepro also created this paste info here:
https://pastebin.com/VFzyVwf1

All this sets listed here in some of case required his specific CHD file. Problably all of them it's part of "NOT WORKING" games or in some cases it's unwanted games or partial files.
It's exist one ways to remove/move this incomplete sets from my HDD ?

The possibly strange thigs:
After a full scanner complete i have tryed to use the "Move" feature from "scan result" windows. All zip it's been moved to a external 'Roms" folder but on next scan i do clrmamepro recreate all this partial zip and all sets reappears on the list from beginning

I also think the question is different than the old thread or not ?

*EDIT*
Oh.. very interesting:
to temporarily hide all this need CHD sets:
- Do a full scan whit CHD option enabled.
- After the scan it's complete i just found out that by turning on/off the CHD in 'You want to scan' the scan result it's be change on the fly and it's not need a new scan. Interesting feature.

*EDIT 2*
Also again... after this upper disclouse (lol):
You can help me better to explain this situation:

If i put this files on 'Roms' folder.... it's be removed by scanner..... because ?

clrmame Discussion / i can exclude some specific roms from scanning ??

« on: 05 March 2022, 19:40 »

On my little mame collection i have a lot (about 6 o 7 files) need the .chd files.
As these roms are parts of all games "NOT WORKING" (for bad dumps or similar) I decided not to use the file for conserve a lot of HDD space.

So every scanner i see this romset appears on scanner result......... my question it's i can exclude this specific file in some mode ??

*EDIT*
for the record i need to exclude this file:

Code: [Select]

mtchxl5k
mtchxl5ko
mtchxl5ko2
mtchxlgld
mtchxlgldo
mtchxlti
pesta
It's possible ?

clrmame Discussion / ClrMamePro - Scanner can't show parent roms after a complete scan ?

« on: 13 November 2019, 03:07 »

Hi... i'm newest italian boys here
I have need some help whit usage of last CLRMamePRO 4.035.
On my PC i have a little collection of roms whit a setup of latest mameui 0.215.
I have use CLRMamePro so many times... i thinks i can use good but now i see i need some help and i have some dubs about the usage.
I try to explain:
I do a full scan... before to start i choose to "Hide Fully-Missing set" for not obtain a red cross.
When scan it's complete i obtain a completely clean SCAN RESULT........... I thought this indicated that my little roms collection it's completely ok whitout any incomplete set or parent missing instead there should be something wrong.
For example:
I take a little look inside my roms folder...... i see inside of this there's present some parents zip files. Little examples like "mk2r91.zip" "mkla1.zip" la2 and la3.zip and many other "Mortal Kombat X" (when x indicates 1 2 3 or 4) parents roms.
All this files apparently it's parents of respective mk mk2 mk3 and mk4.zip right ?

Before to download this 4 files first i have do a scan...... apparently no errors or missing appears on scan result. I open Mame and refresh my "Avaible" files. After scan complete the various MK parents roms not appears on list. To find out that I needed the four mkx.zip i need to manually "Audit" all parent zip files and only after this i have downloaded.... rebuilt it.... made another scan whit clrmp and made another refresh title on mame and only now all Mortal Kombat titles as correctly appears.

At this point the question it's it:
because if the zip files of all parents roms were present on the roms path but they were missing the original roms clrmamepro did not indicate it in the results of the scanner ??
It's a bug or it's need to activate some option on scanner ??

Sorry for my BAD english..... i see this section it's need to use english. If you think I can open a new thread using Italian it's better... let me know it
