While wasting a little bit of time with delta chd support in old cmpro, I recently found a little time to work on the new scanner again..
So what's the status?...well, it scans nicely:
- mame -listxml output, mame hash files, mame -listsoftware output
- full/split/standalone merged
- multi rom/sample paths suppport
- pattern scanning supported (if you keep your sets split by bios etc)
- roms, disks and samples, compressed (7z/zip) or uncompressed
- writing of fix dats
- writing of report output
- remembering old scan information for a faster scan
- commandline available (compareable to new rebuilder)
- preliminary gui available (compareable to new rebuilder)
What's on the to do list:
Well, the actual fixing part, but that be rather simple since it simple needs to run through a list of tasks like
'rename this to that', 'delete this file here', 'add file from there to there'...
Got a small wishlist already some some UI related features here and there...but they don't have any priority...
and of course.....after that, a profiler...
Ever wanted to scan a full software lists collection? Remember the pain in cmpro to set it up? Well, now it's just adding a rompath and hitting start...a little screenshot shown below should give you an idea. Generally it should be way easier to set it up...no need to define 'system default paths', no need to setup thousands of distinct rompaths just for softwarelists.....
