General / Naming convention of arcade roms - suffixes a b c h ?

« on: 06 May 2019, 00:51 »

I'm curious about the naming convention of arcade roms. Specifically the letters at the END of the filenames:

#1
h "H" - the letter H is a common one that I see but I do not understand how it is different or what the letter "H" here stands for? Often accompanies the below #2 ABC files as another "Set"

#2
a b c - these are often applied to roms with multiple "sets" and "alternate boards"
Are there any conventions on which one is the most recent revision?

1 - I just ran it as admin from the program files directory and gave it a UNC path (it works!!!!)
2 - Copied the program directory out to the root C:\ (which is not protected at all) and ran clrmamepro as a "regular" user and it works great! I can see Z:\ now! - Only problem is I will have to do a full uninstall/reinstall as the program still points back to the program files folder for things such as the backup/download folders (which I don't appear to use...) and it is throwing some error messages as a result. Not a huge deal at all though!

Thank you for your assistance with my issue Roman. What is your favourite charity by the way?

To be clear: while I typically go with the installer's default installation location, since that would require me to run with the UAC/admin and would omit the ability to see my Z:\ drive, I will go against the default and install it to C:\clrmamepro or whatever - this has the added benefit of never needing to run the app as an admin

Last addendum: I have never been in this community before this week but I am a long time user of clrmamepro, I'm not sure if you're the one to speak to about such as thing but perhaps the installer's default install location should be amended...

hmmm, I never considered that
so I will wipe it off first completely and then run an install to a clrmamepro directory in My Documents and try it from there?

Well, clrmamepro is in the program files folder. its run as admin (with a prompt each time). it works fine if I copy the roms to the local system.

I may try your way of a UNC path - currently I'm trying to just specify folders in the SETTINGS window, but I have also tried it in the rebuild window and it just does NOT show the Z:\ drive at all

I have my roms on another system and I have mapped them to the drive letter Z - I can access them through Explorer.exe but clrmamepro does not list/address the mapped network drive.

Is there a way to get my network drive to show up in clrmamepro?
