clrmamepro 4.03
added: multi SoftwareList support; see below for details
!!! when importing MAME, you're asked if you want to import software lists
since even MAME got some.
If you're not familar with it, don't import them !!!
added: chd version 5 support
removed internal chd decompress/verify process. Deep validation is
now done directly by calling chdman.
For this, you need to go to Settings->Compressor->ChdMan and setup
the path (if not included in %PATH% env variable already) for chdman.
Also the default validation command needs to be entered. Default is
given for latest chdman which comes with 145u1.
!!! Older versions require -verify %1, the current one verify -i %1 !!!
During validation you see the chdman console window, so you can see
the progress.
Removed option for read sector map and show bad metadata.
Cmpro now only reads the various headers and checks the sha1/md5 there.
Also I've added an option in the chdman dialog to select your prefered
chd version. If found chds don't match, you will get a warning during
scanning. This replaces the old upgrage/downgrade messages.
!!! The current default value here is 5.
You should set this to 4 if you did not update yet !!!
added: samples extensions wav, flac, ape and sam are supported
added: profiler context menu option to clean cache for single profiles/folders
misc: show warning if sysdefpaths aren't rompaths plus option to auto add them
misc: don't warn about not active sysdefpaths when no path is assigned
misc: setinfo shows standard/mechanical/device/etc in separate branches
misc: systems dialog list standard/device/etc with new captions
misc: improved fuzzy name check in case of double checksums
misc: some general packer handling for empty filenames in archives
misc: some more descriptive rar error messages
misc: removed warning if rompath names match setnames
added: compressor / general option to warn about identical names in archives
fixed: crash on 7z entries with no filename
fixed: possible memleak on illegal 7z file timestamps
fixed: wrong progress title & cancel handling when auto-moving to sysdefpaths
Multi-SoftwareList support:
===========================
This version brings you multi-software list support, i.e. multiple software
lists within one xml will be read (single software lists are also supported
of course, no matter if they are standalone or with outer <softwarelists>).
Multi software lists are handled like this:
- all sets (no matter if they got identical names) are added to the current
games list
- for each software list, a new system (system picker dialog) is added
- you have to assign unique sysdefpaths to such new 'systems'
- profile is named after the 1st and last software list (in case of an exe
import, the profile is named after the exe profile description)
- fix dats export all missing files
- datfile export (setinfo window) does NOT export software list roms
- setinfo window's select-sets edit box got a new variable (%l) to pick
roms from a given list
- scanner output of a missing set additionally lists the software list
(can be enabled/disabled via context menu view)
EXE improvements:
- in case of an exe -listxml output (like MAME/MESS) you're asked if you want
to include found software list. You see a list of available ones and
can select none, some or all. In case of some, your selection will be
remembered for a possible future update of MESS/MAME
- in case of 'all', the exe is run once again with -listsoftware
- in case you picked some, cmpro runs "-listsoftware softwarelistname"
Keep in mind that you can drag'n drop rompaths in the settings folder for
a quick way to add all your software lists paths. Then you can use the auto
assign option in systems to setup the belonging sysdefpaths.
You can of course still use singe software list profiles if handling via
sysdefpaths is too complex for you.

But maybe your system somehow redirects it there....
