clrmame Discussion / 194 homerun

« on: 31 January 2018, 18:36 »

machine name="homerun" sourcefile="homerun.cpp" cloneof="nhomerun" romof="nhomerun" sampleof="homerun"

machine name="nhomerun" sourcefile="homerun.cpp" sampleof="homerun"

hmm....homerun is a romclone of nhomerum but homerun is also a sampleparent of nhomerum.....

guess that's not intended, is it?

will see what the devs say....until then you need to double the sampleset ;-)

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.033 released

« on: 03 September 2017, 19:03 »

What a special day today....20 years ago...yes twenty years...the very first version of clrmame was released. Back then it was a win32 commandline tool. 1999 cmwin, a first windows ui version was released and finally in 2000 clrmamepro came out. In 1997 MAME had no zip support, no merging and actually not even crc32 was used for hashing...good old times ;-) And today...look at that beauty of emulator. What a success, what a huge amount of emulated sets. Times are changing, I've tried to update cmpro as good as possible to keep track of the changes made in MAME. I'd like to thank all the users who supported me over the years...some of them from the beginning till today. Without you, I would have stopped cmpro a long time ago. So....keep me busy. Thanks again. And yeah...here's the latest version 4.033.

Since the homepage is now https, you need to download this update manually. The updater will work again once you have 4.033 installed

4.033
fixed: xml parser to handle > character within an xml attribute correctly
fixed: wrong "missing but fixable" message (mainly chd) when set check is disabled which covers the actual message
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)
fixed: stats count of missing chds in case set check is disabled
fixed: fixmissing skips the set with the missing file itself for checking for a possible match and might miss a possible fix
(pretty rare that a set holds identical files, but e.g. MAME's 188 "pippin" does)
misc: use MoveFile instead of CopyFile also for disabled remove-rebuilt-source when possible
misc: drag'n drop operations now work when you use "run as admininistrator" to run cmpro in an UAC protected folder
misc: changed softwarelist import to always import all and filter specific afterwards. Solves problem where MAME does not print out data for some.
misc: remove possible empty setfolder when a chdfile is moved
misc: cmpro.ini setting Adv_AvoidPCSleep=on can be used to avoid PC switching to hibernate/sleep mode during scan/merge/rebuild/dir2dat operations (default = on, i.e. it won't switch)
misc: updated to rar 5.50
misc: make updater https aware

clrmame Discussion / Latest Nightly Build

« on: 07 June 2017, 19:27 »

http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/binaries/cmpro20181212.rar

fixed: remembering window positions on multiple / virtual screens fails

added: cmpro.ini option Adv_WindowToFront = on (default), can be set to off, so cmpro won't bring the window to top after a finished operation

misc: profiler cache, should increate loading speed since (once cached, after first run), cmpro won't read through all dats/settings files again to build up the profiler tree. ....should be way faster for users with lots of datfiles. It's currently work in progress and any add/delete (and of course the refresh button) will re-read all files again. Try to optimize the single actions later on.

- fixed the double file entries when doing an update
- fixed the double folder entries when doing an update

Feedback welcome....

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)

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

added: missing/total chds column for profiler and htmlReport

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

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.029b released

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

fixed: rare rebuild name-case-pick problem when rebuilding parent/clone sets
where the clone uses different case in naming of the parent files
fixed: %H does not match all chd-only ones
added: setinfo lists referenced device roms in set file list
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
added: batcher scanner option to disable deep (sha1/md5/full decompress) scan

misc: updated unrar dll to 5.31

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 / Paul Hartman, thank you....
