clrmame Discussion / Of .zip and .7z
« on: 06 December 2017, 14:58 »
Cleaning up my mame roms after a bit of a break. Grab the latest clrmamepro as usual and begin to bring mame up to the latest version. While updating, I started getting "Set exists in multiple rompaths..." Digging deeper i have a .7z version of the rom and a .zip version. I guess over time, i hadnt really paid attentin and my roms have both .zip and .7z files (769 files are .zip and 33,000+ are .7z, just to give you an idea of the ratio). Looks like this happens when i do a rebuild with a .7z file on a current mame .zip in my roms. Is there a way to make sure that it leaves only one version on a rebuild therefore avoiding the multiple sets? Or do i need to take care of getting all the roms zip or 7z completely. If that is the case, which is preferred and is there a way to convert to one format or the other all at once (taking time im sure). Thanks for any help you can provide!!
