clrmame Discussion / External MESS ListXML DAT File - Warning Message

« on: 20 September 2014, 05:50 »

Keep getting this warning message when I try to load an external MESS ListXML DAT file.



Normally I process MESS ListXML through DatUtil before processing in clrmamepro. Needed to test something out.

Clrmamepro doesn't have a problem with loading external MAME ListXML DAT file.

MESS ListXML included in the attachment below.

After looking over the amiga_a3000 softlist, I noticed this ROM file has a "nodump" status.

Code: [Select]

rom name="cass" size="0" status="nodump" offset="0" />
This ROM appears under the software name amix11, amix201, amix203 and amix21.

Solution: The only way to alleviate the problem is by changing the size of the ROM to another number besides 0.

Code: [Select]

rom name="cass" size="1" status="nodump" offset="0" />
Clrmamepro no longer has the need to constantly re-add/delete cass ROM file.

I'm including the softlist in the attachment below, in case something changes with the SVN link that was pointed out at the beginning of the post.

DatWorkshop Pro / DWP 2.3.0 "RealDiff" Freezing Up

« on: 01 December 2011, 01:20 »

No matter what I do, RealDiff freezes up on my system when I try to compare two generic DAT files. Windows Task Manager is reporting 85% to 97% CPU usage when this occurs. I have no choice but to end the process. Not sure what's going on here. The previous version (DWP 2.24) doesn't experience this freeze when I compare those two generic DAT files.

Operating System: Windows 7
Edition: Ultimate
Service Pack: SP1
Windows Update: Up-to-Date

If you need any other information regarding my system or the two DAT files I'm trying to compare, let me know. I'll provide them for you.

Edit: Typo.
