Hello fellas.

I have a list of dats, and I'd like to know how much space in HDD would take the roms they contain, individually (one dat) and totally (all dats). If it could be exportable to an html or something similar it would be great. Like the option from clrmamepro, but not only showing name, missing sets, missing roms, but also space in HDD.

The only way I managed to show it, was doing a previous Scan on a random folder and seeing the Statistics, but it would be a pain in the ass to repeat this process for the 720 dats :S I'd prefer to see the space needed in a list (offline or online).

I'm working with clrmamepro 3.131b / Dat Workshop Pro 2.21, but if any other program is needed, plese tell me.

Many thanks

First question would be: Which size are you talking about? The currently shown one in cmpro's statistics screen is the total of the rom size tags, i.e. decompressed rom size. No samples, no chds.
Another size could be the sum of file sizes in all rompaths...

Hello Roman.

I'd like to know the field shown on statistics named "Missing - Bytes: XX bytes/kb/mb/gb out of XX bytes/kb/mb/gb" after you do a Scan on a random folder for every dat and for all dats as a whole.



The goal is to know beforehand how much HDD space I will need to have free to complete the datset. And it would be nice to be shown in a column either on the Profile window (by Missing ROMs for example):



Or in the html report (same):



Thanks.

I put it on my list...however keep in mind, this value is the total of the decompressed romsize only....not very useful if you keep sets compressed or even got chds.

Thank you so much, I didn't know it. That fact gives me an extra room

Missing Bytes/Total Bytes in profiler and html report implemented for next version.
