clrmame Discussion / Rollback problem - almost certainly user error
« on: 12 May 2010, 08:38 »
Hi, I'm trying to use ClrMamePro to rollback a 0.137 set to 0.84 (I've got an arcade cab that I'm MAMEing up with a ropey older PC). I've got the full 0.137 set of roms and the set of rollback roms too. I've also got a 0.84 datfile (and I can also build a profile from the 0.84 MAME). However: I'm a bit unsure as to how to get the rebuilder working best.
I've got two directories - one with the 0.137 roms and another with the rollback set in. I've set the rebuilder to have two source directories: however, in this configuration it throws an error because the rollback directory doesn't have any roms in. When I selected rebuild it didn't do anything.
I've tried a bodge and put a shortcut/symlink of the rollback roms directory into the 0137 roms directory, then selected rebuild and it's doing - something. It'll take a long while (50% in after 12 hours).
A couple of questions:
1) Is what I'm doing completely wrong?
= Do I have to run the rebuilder with full and rollback in two steps or one
= Do I run the rebuilder on the 0137 roms and then scan and fix with the rollback set?
2) What's the error about the rollback rom set? Why does it not run any rebuild at all with a directory that apparently contains no MAME roms, just rollback sets? Have I screwed up here too?
Many thanks, in advance for anyone that can help my hamfisted flailing.
