« on: 07 June 2017, 19:27 »

https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/binaries/cmpro20170607.rar

fixed: dir2dat archives with folders produce wrong output
fixed: stats count of missing roms for clone sets which only consist of parent roms (and chds)
misc: use MoveFile instead of CopyFile also for disabled remove-rebuilt-source when possible

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.032 released

« on: 16 May 2017, 20:19 »

4.032
fixed: dir2dat creates subfolders for found filenames with `. Now it translates it to ' (as the parser does anyway)
fixed: unique softwarelist folder check can fail and only show an empty list instead of details
fixed: batcher's "for rompath naming use "dafilefolder" created double foldernames when using dats with subfolders
fixed: batcher's "for rompath naming use "datfile name tag" or "datfile file" was not working
fixed: batcher's "for default naming use" options does not use the global profiler setting anymore
fixed: don't list existing parent roms in completely missing clones' output
fixed: profiler hides empty folders
fixed: wrong bios set assignment in non rom-merge-parse-mode for some sets which use merge tags to link to bios roms
fixed: profiler context menu tree delete folder switched to 'delete profile' when a profile in list view was selected
fixed: problem with memoryfile exceptions when working with enabled headers
added: batcher option to skip scan run when a batch rebuild did not create any files
misc: updated fuzzy set name check routine (which is rarely used though) giving more robust results
misc: better profiler tree display when delete/reset/clean cache on a folder or move profile (not jumping to root and collapsing the tree)
misc: show red/green dot profiler tree folder icons when profiles contain at least one red or only green items
misc: updated to zip archive: 4.6.4

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.031b released

« on: 26 October 2016, 19:40 »

4.031b
fixed: statistic count values for sets which do not really exist (e.g. sets with only biosroms and nodumps/samples)
fixed: fix test for unneeded rom/detecting not separated biosrom checks interfear
and you need a 2nd scan to get rid of it (MAME .179 decoccass v0a-.7e issue)

4.031a
fixed: rebuilder matched files counter

4.031
fixed: various softwarelist/standard mix problems with double set names
- chd name matching problem which came back with 4.030 fix for unneeded chds
- identifying wrong set leading to all kind of sideeffects like prompts to rename sets or skipping wrong placed sets
- skipping detection of a missing set when identical sets are shared in different sysdefpaths
- reporting wrong "wrong sysdefpath" warnings when 100% identical sets are shared in sysdefpaths
or for clones where parent's set name was identical in different sysdefpaths
or when a set was renamed and old name is now used in a different sysdefpath
misc: remember dir2dat setting for datfile format
misc: updated unrar dll to 5.40.100.2100
misc: updated 7z dll/sdk to 16.04

nice....ain't it.... ;-)
well...I'm back from summer holiday...and within the next days you will get an update....which (besides other stuff) handles the upper thingie....

and if you don't get it....you should have a closer look at the hash values

and if you still don't get it....it's a multiple crc32 hash collision

« on: 20 April 2016, 18:41 »

4.029a
misc merger: "clean sets" option gets disabled when "move sets to" option is used. Otherwise it's too risky to accidently wipe out sets when doing multiple runs.
misc: compiled with VS Studio 2015 Update 2

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.029 released

« on: 08 April 2016, 19:37 »

4.029

added: settings->compressor->chdman option setting to hide console window during verify process
added: batcher scanner option to include/exclude chd decompress in deep modes

clrmame Discussion / wip

« on: 24 March 2016, 18:58 »

Pretty quiet ain't it? Well....I'm doing some little work on cmpro...the current progress:

fixed: software list export has a space at the end of the prolog
fixed: rare rebuild name-case-pick problem when rebuilding parent/clone sets where the clone uses different case in naming of the parent files
added: settings->compressor->chdman option setting to hide console window during verify process
added: batcher scanner option to disable deep (sha1/md5/full decompress) scan
misc: changed behaviour of batcher scanner option to enable deep (sha1/md5/crc32 with decompress) scan a bit it does not automatically turn on the checksum check itself anymore but only the sha1/md5/crc32 with decompress options
misc: reorganized batcher prop pages
misc: updated unrar dll to 5.31

basically I'm changing some batcher options to use radio buttons instead of checkboxes....and the deep hash mode mentioned above will also get another option for chd-decompress....if you have other batcher options you need, you should mention them now ;-)....but don't expect a release before April...

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.028 released

« on: 04 February 2016, 19:15 »

4.028

misc: dir2dat, software exports adds offset=0
misc: dir2dat, prevent system sleep mode
misc: dir2dat, add manufacturer from folder also works for non-single-set mode
misc: dir2dat, when addYear/addManufacturer is used, tags get initialized with "

?"
(unless they get a value assigned by other options)
fixed: setinfo tree disappears when no devices or mechanicals are used

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.027 released

« on: 25 January 2016, 21:03 »

4.027

misc: 32bit version still runs on SSE1 processors
misc: compiled with VS Studio 2015 Update 1
misc: updated to unrar lib/sdk 5.31.1 and 7z lib/sdk to 15.14
misc: prevent system sleep mode for scan, rebuild, merge tasks

misc: the minimum value for rebuilder option to skip folder after X skipped files is now 1

added: setinfo tree lists empty sets only on request (context menu) and empty tree branches are removed
misc: setinfo tree gets reendered on actions (apply, invert, etc) when show enabled/disabled is used
added: %r=1, %P=1, %H=1 variable (has roms, is sample-only set, is chd-only set)
misc: select sets variables %h,%p,%M,%B,%I,%r,%P,%H also supports =0 now
(e.g. %h=1 has chds; %h=0 hasn't chds)

removed: cmpro.ini switch Adv_DatFormatXML, Export format (from setinfo) can now be switched in dir2dat
added: dir2dat can export in softwarelist format (pretty preliminary but a start)
added: dir2dat option add manufacturer -> from folder, which takes the current folder name as
manufacturer/publisher (in single set mode only)

hint: if you don't collect chds/samples and don't want cmpro to moan about missing sets, you can use
%H=1;%P=1 (Apply, Invert, check 'initial invert' checkbox) to disable chd-only and sample-only sets

just a little peek in the near future....

4.027 (...to be released...)

clrmame Discussion / coming up

« on: 16 December 2015, 21:24 »

well...as you might noticed, it's pretty silent around cmpro...why? well...holiday season is coming up...end of year real life stress....

But from time to time I add some tiny not really that important stuff...currently this...

misc: 32bit version still runs on SSE1 processors
misc: updated to unrar lib/sdk 5.30 (final)and 7z lib/sdk to 15.12 (final)
misc: select sets variables %h=1 (has chds) also supports =0 now (hasn't chds). Same for %p,%M,%B,%I.
added: added %r=1/0 variables (has roms)
added: dir2dat can export in softwarelist format (pretty preliminary but a start)
removed: cmpro.ini switch Adv_DatFormatXML
added: export format (in setinfo dialog) can now be switched via dir2dat format option

to do: some select sets variable to select chd-only, sample-only, roms-only sets (which isn't identical to %r=0...since there are sets which only consist of e.g. biosroms and chds...or only nodumps and chds...etc...have to think about that a bit)

haven't fully checked the softwarelist.dtd yet. (maybe a dataarea element can have all roms as childs and its size entry is the sum of all sizes)...but an export (from standard MAME sets) will look probably like this...

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE softwarelist SYSTEM "softwarelist.dtd">
<softwarelist name="MAME" description="Current MAME">
   <software name="005">
      <description>005</description>
      <year>1981</year>
      <publisher>Sega</publisher>
      <part name="" interface="">
         <dataarea name="rom" size = "2048">
            <rom name="1346b.cpu-u25" size="2048" crc="8e68533e" sha1="a257c556d31691068ed5c991f1fb2b51da4826db"/>
         </dataarea>
         <dataarea name="rom" size = "2048">
            <rom name="5092.prom-u1" size="2048" crc="29e10a81" sha1="c4b4e6c75bcf276e53f39a456d8d633c83dcf485"/>
         </dataarea>
         <dataarea name="rom" size = "2048">
            <rom name="5093.prom-u2" size="2048" crc="e1edc3df" sha1="4f593546bbb0f50850dc6286cb514af6831c27a7"/>
         </dataarea>
etc..etc..
