clrmame Discussion / How to scan Software List files properly?
« on: 28 April 2020, 23:40 »
If I set up a new profile from MAME 0.220, then in the Systems & assigned System-Default-Paths select only STANDARD, MECHANICAL, DEVICE, and BIOS (all auto-assigned to the ROM path), I can scan and rebuild my ROM+Samples+CHD collection without issues.
But if I start selecting any SOFT entries in there, also auto-assigned to the main ROM path, the "You're using SysDefPath options and at least one software list path is not unique!" error appears.
I tried this with 4.036a, as well as the recent cmpro20200421 nightly. Same problem with both.
What is the correct way to manage Software List items with ClrMamePro? (For SL, I have 0.202 and am eager to check it as well as to find out what I'm missing between that and 0.220!)
Edit: I've seen suggestions (https://www.emulab.it/forum/index.php?topic=4437.msg17655#msg17655) about using separate profiles for each system (each software folder?) and doing it all in a batch, but I'm not quite sure how that'll work in practice (I wanted to keep the software in a different path than ./ROMs (e.g., ./Software) but I don't know that this will work).
What am I looking for? A simple example to get me started...
