Scanner will come (one day) and it will be commandline driven for a start.....but don't ask me when...time is limited as usual

Personally I'd privilege portability (Linux) over a GUI any day, but of course a GUI may help the less technically inclined.
I'm really looking forward to some kind of a scanner (sorry for being pushy), either as a separate tool or as a function of the existing rebuilder.
After that I can finally retire CMP for good, after "just" a few decades of honorable service
Thanks

Well, yes, a scanner is planned (as well as some kind of profiler/UI) but I haven't started it yet...currently I do some polishing on the rebuilder core which should be done pretty soon.....

Had a first round of testing with v0.4, nothing wrong to report: it's *really* fast, and convenient to use.
Any thought about a scanner to complement the rebuilder, Roman? It's the only thing I'd feel the need for, to check the rebuilt set for missing bits n pieces..
Thanks for your work!

I am having the same issue.

CLRMAMEPRO 4.047  server request to host mamedev.emulab.it path:/clrmamepro/version failed with error code: 503

Is it just server down or an update is in progress ?

Hi folks. How are we all doing? I am hoping somebody can give me some guidance on how to use clrmamepro properly to update my roms? I have MAME version 0.140 complete (as far as I know) without icons and artwork and samples I think but I do have the roms and CHD'S) I have always struggled to figure out how to update my collecton properly because the tutorials on the website are a bit sketchy to say the least.

Certainly, I'd be happy to help you with using clrmamepro to update your ROM collection. clrmamepro is a powerful tool that can help you manage your ROMs and ensure that they are compatible with your version of MAME.

To get started, you'll need to download and install clrmamepro. Once you've done that, you'll need to create a DAT file that describes your version of MAME and the ROMs that you have. You can either create this DAT file manually or use a tool like RomVault to generate it for you.

Once you have your DAT file, you can use clrmamepro to scan your ROMs and ensure that they are all correct and complete. If any ROMs are missing or outdated, clrmamepro will let you know and give you the option to download the missing files from a trusted source.

Thanks for the feedback....sounds weird for a new drive...hmm..maybe it has an encryption process enabled (bitlocker etc)?

Yep.  I moved everything to a different external drive and it's almost done doing the entire merge.  It literally took longer to copy everything across than it will to do the merge. 

Thanks again for the help and the great app.

Using the exact same clrmame pro install I created another profile with dummy folders and no contents and it flew through the process.  So it's not the machine or the install. 

It has to be the drive.  It's a new drive and the health is fine but who knows.  I found another 4tb external drive I'm copying everything over to do all of the merging then I'll moved it back to the other (slow) drive once it's done and see what the MAME performance is like.

Thanks again.  I still don't know specifically what the issue is but I'm pretty sure I know generally.
