clrmame Discussion / suggestion for an optimization for the rebuilder
« on: 11 April 2012, 13:18 »
Currently in merged mode, the rebuilder remake an archive whenever it finds a rom that is included in the set. that's not a problem with common stuff, but if you try rebuilding say a doctor layton 7zipped set which includes about 7 or 8 2-gig roms, then it becomes very nasty as you can imagine. Wouldn't it be smarter to look for everything that can be included in the set, then rebuild the archive.

What do you mean by very critical, that's frightening me. Indeed that wasn't just a bad zip. It seemed to block only on files with very long filenames, over a hundred characters, a issue with NTSF file system maybe? Of course I am really not sure about it as I haven't performed extensive tests, so can be wrong. What I can say is it was always blocking on the same files.
But whatever. Thanks you Roman.

clrmame Discussion / A rebuilder request and a rebuilder question
« on: 27 March 2012, 16:42 »
Hello Roman,
Last week I have rebuilt some of my sets to merge them with torrents. I launched the rebuilder before going to work at to my great disappointment it stopped due to an error by the time I was back, a bad zip or whatever. I asked it to ignore and go on, on the morning it stopped again, and so on for days. It was incredibly annoying as you can imagine. So even tho it's too late for me please add an option "always ignore errors" at the first warning. May be helpful for others or might be helpful for me in the future.
On a not so related note, I noticed decompressing and t7z re-compressing manually with a batch file file is about 20 times faster than asking clrmame to do it. Can you look into this please? I don't get why clrmame would be that butt slow, it basically does the same stuff as the batch, minus the checksum verification.
As always keep up the good work.
Thanks.

News & Communication / Re: clrmamepro 3.138a
« on: 16 February 2012, 13:08 »3.138aDear Roman, I am pretty annoyed with this missing but fixable stuff. I don't consider a duplicate chd is missing since mame can run automatically the clone rom with the parent chd without any setting or trick, I see no point in marking these chd as missing. It may be relevant with split set option, but I do not see the point with non-merged option.
added: missing but fixable chds can get fixed automatically by fix-missing
added: append option for rebuilder log
misc: redisplay dir2dat window after dat completion to avoid minimizing issues
misc: dat export will only export active sets
misc: added trimming for subfolder rom/etc defintions
I have asked you before and I am humbly asking again, please remove this missing but fixable message for chd, or at the very least add an option to turn it off for chd. I will never unnecessarily duplicate tens of gigs of chd just to have clrmame show a green dot.

Forget about it anyway. t7z has very bad compression performances compared to regular 7z 9.20 t7z is pretty old and has rotten. :/

clrmame Discussion / torrent7z
« on: 26 March 2011, 09:27 »
The cmpro can use 7z to re-compress and this is really great, but it would be even better if it could also use torrent7z. The advantage is t7z is standardizing things to make sharing (of legal files) easier while keeping a good compression ratio.
Please Roman, could you add t7z support to cmpro.
Thank you very much.
