you don't need to rebuild every time....and besides, I had no probs with .147. (there are no chd changes compared to 146u5 anyway and samples related, there is one new set iirc.

There's something on your system which is interfearing the process...so that the first attemp to read the chd and checking the existance fails, while a later check for fixable missing ones succeeds....as mentioned before, you should exclude any mame roms/samples related folder from your virusscanner software (or use a better one since such random effects are usually caused by such software

Bennet's little brother Finn was born today, September 14th, 10:26am. Mother and child are all ok.
Simone, Bennet, I love you so much making me a proud Daddy again and showing me what life is all about

I got it on my list.....however as you might now currently we're a little bit...erm...busy....due date was last thursday....so...I don't start anything at the moment waiting...waiting...

When I find some time I will look into the CPP part of 7z and I actually like the idea of having a new clean rebuilder core with some nice improvements....but private life first....

now you made me horny writing a new rebuilder core..... :O)

well, I got dozens of ideas for a new scanner and rebuilder...but I simply don't have time...

In times of terabyte hds compression advantages of 7z vs zip doesn't really play a role....but I'm still happy if I can improve it here and there a bit....

Regarding the rebuilder...maybe I find some time in my parental leave time....time will tell...


...and by the way...The "Please Dat Me" test succeeded without sha1 within a second, with SHA1 it took way longer of course and mem usage of my system went up to 5.39GB maximum during processing the 2nd 7z (with cmpro, browser, email etc running)....first file it not even reached nearly 3GB.....

Rebuilder is file based, not set based. It creates each instance of matched file X in the source in the destination sets Y1, Y2,...Yn. Then it continues with the next file in the source (no matter if within an archive or not). That's the way it is...and for zip it doesn't really matter (especially if you got no recompression on) since it can easily move to the correct place to add the stuff....7z solid archives are of course a pain.

Maybe in the far away future I add some lookahead or caching thing...but don't count on it.

« on: 06 September 2012, 05:47 »

please make the archive available again.
xp is not a state of the art system. I got 16gb on my win7 machine

the problem is that the extract function in the 7z C core which doesnt seem to support blockwise unpacking. feel free to find me a better solution. But maybe I find some time to study the not-blockwise one to write my own....or switch to the C++ interface...yikes....why can't that sdk have a documentation like ZipArchiveLib....grrr (However I do respect the 7z work)....

Get more RAM or write a good library...

The SDK 7z C version extracts files completely to RAM...haven't found the time to check if this can be changed easily...but switching to the C++ 7z part with COM crap (which seems to support blockbased unpacking) ain't a way out if you ask me...

...hehe....and if I find some time I add the batch merge mode option

clrmame Discussion / Re: some updated build

« on: 05 September 2012, 15:22 »

well...I'd like so see a good 7z SDK with easy and understandable blockwise compress/decompress 7z file (not LZMA streams) support without using COM ...but I guess that will never come...so we have to live with the exe files...

yes...if I find some time I will look at the rename operator (same for rar).

Well, some user told me that new alpha builds of 7z use lzma2 as default compression and cmpro is not able to handle them....so I had a quick look at the latest available 7z SDK, compiled cmpro with it and I'd say one 7z problem less....grab it here....

clrmame Discussion / Re: Why clrmame does not rebuild samples?

« on: 04 September 2012, 11:01 »

Because they don't have checksums listed in MAME's -listxml output.

Use a standalone Samples datfiles instead (e.g. at Progetto Snaps archive)

clrmame Discussion / Re: CMP and CHD (missing but fixable thing)

« on: 31 August 2012, 07:01 »

you might want to send me "your" mame binary which caused the issues and the "official" one which works fine....

...or you diff the -listxml output of both....

Random file access errors sound a little bit like some installed program (like virusscanners, firewalls,  zip plugins etc, sata drivers.....scanning over network drives via samba) do interfear somehow.... Check if you got something of them running in the background and for a test, turn them off.

Rebuilding is fast when you turn off recompression.

Yes, samples are only checked for name/case/exist....There are a lot of nodump samples in the official MAME binary (most likely handled as unneeded) so you will get differerent effects if you scan e.g. with the Progretto Samples datfile and with MAME.

You can send me your cmpro.ini file and the belonging *.cmp file from cmpro's settings folder. But first try an official MAME binary and turn off 3rd party software which might interfear disk access and run a new scan.

Clean the profiler cache and do a new scan. Turn off virusscanners for rompaths in question...and be sure to use an official mame with direct data import in the profiler (i.e. no 3rd party datfile).
