clrmame Discussion / Rebuilder 0.02 released

« on: 16 August 2022, 15:25 »

2022-08-16 V0.02 released
- since MAME can't handle subfolders in decompressed sets, decompressed sets and chds are always stored flat in folders (no clone/dependency subfolders in full or standalone mode). When kept compressed, the archives will hold subfolders
- not existing romOf reference leads to removed merge information for the machine

clrmame Discussion / Rebuilder 0.01 released

« on: 13 July 2022, 20:35 »

Rebuilder 0.01 released

Yes...something new, something fast, something I've enjoyed coding. Rebuilder is a small commandline tool which has some advantages over the rebuilder in clrmamepro. Faster, Standalone merge mode, CHD rebuild to name a few.

Read more: https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/binaries/readme.html

Download: https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/#downloads

Some examples:

Load a MAME 245 listxml dat, use e:\mame\roms as source, f:\sorted as destination folder, scan the source recursively and create sort the output by manufacturer and year. Rebuild in zipped split merged mode (default):
rebuilder.exe -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\mame\roms -o f:\sorted -r -p #MANUFACTURER#/#YEAR#

Generate standalone sets in f:\standalone, based on 245 data with roms from e:\mame\roms but limit it to machines named 194*
rebuilder.exe -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\mame\roms -o f:\standalone -r -m standalone -f 194*.

Trust crc32/size hash for an even faster processing...(-s none)
rebuilder -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\mame\roms -o f:\test1 -r -s none

Do a really slow but full sha1 input/output check and with recompressing
rebuilder -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\mame\roms -o f:\test2 -r -s both -c rezip

Generate a full merged output but decompressed
rebuilder -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\mame\roms -o f:\full -r -m full -c none

Load a softwarelist collection dat (mame.exe -listsoftware) and rebuild my unsorted stuff for all software lists at once:
rebuilder -x e:\temp\245_soft.xml -i e:\unsortedstuff -o f:\softwarelists -r

Split my sets by device, mechanical, bios folders
rebuilder -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\mame\roms -o f:\clean -r -p #BIOSSPLIT#

Rebuild from a to b and remove rebuilt source files
rebuilder -x e:\temp\245.xml -i e:\a -o f:\b -r -d

while working on *something else* I found two little things in the old thingie....

clrmame Discussion / clrmamepro 4.042 released

« on: 14 September 2021, 07:40 »

4.042

misc: support romof handling in device sets
misc: systems auto assign can detect empty software list folders in case they are named accordingly
misc: software list import's default setting is off
misc: changed behaviour of context menu "move all incomplete sets" to "move all sets with problems" (similar for delete).
This also covers wrong named etc ones, not only missing files.
misc: contextMenu options Delete/Move/Copy Current/all [not fixed]/all sets with problems use the parent set in full merged mode
misc: cleaning cache also cleans hashes folder
misc: batcher's scanner merge mode overwrite does not overwrite the information from a datfile's forcemerging option
misc: batcher's rebuilder pack overwrite does not overwrite the information from a datfile's forcepacking option
misc: don't stop multiple downloads on first failure
misc: wrote a wrapper class to handle all filefind calls which weren't 32k path length ready.
This should fix all remaining long path (32k) issues.

fixed: invalid wrong-case messages on chds with very long filenames
fixed: wrongly list valid chds as unneeded when a no dump chd of the same name exists and 'mark no dump as unneeded' option is enabled
