clrmame Discussion / Re: 4GB files get zipped good but

« on: 25 July 2013, 09:32 »

Standard zip only supports up to 4GB.
Yes, there are zip extensions which allow >4GB but they are not supported.
Use rar or 7z instead

ok...use this in your engine.cfg

engine (
   name MESSDAT
   gamelist mess
   cachefile _datfdatm
   replace machine game
)


and use this build...

well, a quick way for you would be to replace opening and closing machine xml elements with corresponding game elements with a text editor...

clrmame Discussion / Re: DAT for WHDLoad recent updates (.lha archives)

« on: 24 July 2013, 06:52 »

but of course you can create a dat for it...all you need is the hash and size and name information from the files inside the lha files Sounds a bit like a batch job with some text editing afterwards...

no really...I wonder how standard zip files can cause issues....

As you can see, MESS is not using game elements but machine elements. That's why you have to switch to a different "Emulator" type in Profiler->Create. There you switch to MESS.

But I guess you can't do a direct import from a binary using WINE or other Windows emulators...

So you either convert your MESS XML with XSLT to a MAME XML one or you can add the following to cmpro's engine.cfg:

engine (
   name MESS_DATFILE
   cachefile _messdatfdat
   replace machine game
)

Restart cmpro and then you need to be sure to load the datfile with "datfile type "MESS_DATFILE" (profiler bottom left)...

I wonder why zip files cause issues or are unpredictable.....sounds like a bad excuse for not filtering corrupt ones...anyway....I doubt that I find the time to add lha support.

clrmame Discussion / Re: CHD Gets removed due to being "unneeded"?

« on: 23 July 2013, 17:28 »

Well, it did....baddumps are unneeded...because the hashes don't match...what kind of report did you expect

clrmame Discussion / Re: Create a .dat file using a Mac

« on: 23 July 2013, 17:14 »

Well...did you look at the -listxml output? Redirect it yourself to a file and check if it actually is a valid xml file with valid entries.

......and of course for a MESS import you need to switch to a MESS xml parser in profiler->create...

clrmame Discussion / Re: CHD Gets removed due to being "unneeded"?

« on: 23 July 2013, 17:12 »

A chd is marked as unneeded if the hash does not match. So you should double check the sha1 hash of the chd file in question (chdman -info ...) with the one in the MAME database. If it does not match you have a wrong chd.

ah nice finding...looks like it removes the extension
Guess I need to fix this

clrmame Discussion / Re: Rebuild log (+ typo?)

« on: 22 July 2013, 17:31 »

well...yes typo...but it saves and loads it with that typo...so no need to change it (otherwise it won't load it correctly after an update)...

well...for [EXISTS] I can add the first instance of what did match (the source filename you got anyway...so I might add the first found destination file....remember, you might have 1 source for 1231820312 destination files )

The reason actually should be something out of these:

no hash match
CANCEL BUTTON PRESSED
GoodDump Size Mismatch
Decompress/CopyCompressed Failed on GoodDump
Create Destination Problem

So you mean you got one without any reason? Interesting....

Actually it only happened when you loaded a non-xml datfile afterwards...
