clrmame report complete set, but the MESSUI report a missing file in exp85.

[Roman]

Which file?

[XangXing]

explorer.u105

[Roman]

I will have a look later today

[Roman]

That file is a nodump file, i.e. it does not exist, it's not yet dumped.

Looks like MESSUI falsely complains about nodumps.

Clrmamepro doesn't list nodumps as missing (since they don't exists) unless you use a datfile which forces nodumps as needed.

[XangXing]

Code: [Select]

ROM_SYSTEM_BIOS( 0, "eia", "EIA Terminal" )
ROMX_LOAD( "explorer.u105", 0xf000, 0x0800, CRC(1a99d0d9) SHA1(57b6d48e71257bc4ef2d3dddc9b30edf6c1db766), ROM_BIOS(1) )
ROM_SYSTEM_BIOS( 1, "hex", "Hex Keyboard" )
ROMX_LOAD( "explorer.u105", 0xf000, 0x0800, NO_DUMP, ROM_BIOS(2) )

The problem is in the MESS code, the name explorer.u105 is used for two file in the same set. Probably clrmame use only the second declaration.
It's possible make a warning in this case?

hmm..nice finding...I will do some further checks on this. Thanks

[Roman]

well...a quick fix would be to enable the current "detect double named roms with different hashes" check for nodumps as well...This would prompt for either removing the file or renaming it. However it doesn't prefer the non-nodumps...so that the good dump might get a different name.

[XangXing]

How enable the "detect double named roms with different hashes"?

[Roman]

it's automatically enabled but currently it only works for non nodumps. In the next version I enabled it for nodumps, too....so it will rename one file (most likely the good dump....but hey...it's a start)

[XangXing]

Thanks Roman!
