clrmame Discussion / What's the best way to accomplish this?

« on: 30 April 2010, 02:18 »

I have MAME roms consisting of USA sets only (I don't want the parents).  I want to update them as newer versions of MAME come out.  As set/rom names change from time to time would I need to use the renamer first?  Say I have a set of USA roms of MAME version 137.1 and want to update to 137.3 usually I would load the new DAT and hit the 'Avail Sets' button and CLRMAME would only get ready to scan the sets I have.  Now lets say one of the USA sets named changed between MAME versions.  Would I be able to hit the 'Avail sets' button?  Would it miss the set with the name that changed?  Would I need to use the renamer first?  If so how would it be done?  I'm assuming I would use the 137.1 DAT as the old set and the 137.3 as the new set but what would I put in the 'Modify DAT' box? Another 137.3 so the names will be altered?

Sorry, If I made this question confusing.....

clrmame Discussion / Rom Renaming

« on: 31 March 2009, 20:26 »

Roman,  I have a set of no-intro N64 roms from a few years back.  Since then the no-intro group changed the way the roms are named.  I downloaded the latest dat from their site.  When I conduct a scan it shows all my existing roms as unneeded (promts me to delete) and the scan continues to show that I am missing every rom.  I tried to "fix" everything with the scanner and I tried to "rebuild" the sets with the rebuilder but neither worked.  What am I doing wrong?  If I missed it somewhere, I apologize in advance.

Thanks you
