Clrmame feature request
« on: 27 June 2016, 19:15 »

Hi Roman :)

now in Profiler window show only "Missing Sets" and "Missing ROMs" columns
when scaning/fixing the MAME Software Lists, it is now very difficult to seperate sets that have ROMs only, CHDs only and both ROMs+CHDs
Please add column In the profiler window : "Missing CHDs" .
Many tnx

Is it possible to add a feature were as clrmame can just search for the working games/roms & chd's eg. the working arcade games then a feature for the working console games. 2 seperate searches please as now mess is included now in mame i don't have any space on my hard drive & i must guess it's gotta be the same problem for a few other users. I would gladly donate if its posiible. Many Thanks

Well, define "working". clrmamepro got its information from MAME's -listxml output. There is nothing like a "working" indicator.

Of course you can use scanner->setinformation to limit your sets in a lot of ways...like select sets %D=good for a good Driver status...or load a prepared setlist there which someone might have prepared for your which only includes "working" sets.

In any way...."working" is not well defined.

I have only just got the hang of updating roms so forgive me not knowing the abbreviations. I call working as playable & not crashing all the time plus not correct colours or not perfect graphics or working with problems. I go on what Mame says is fully playable so anything where you could just tick or not tick would be great & easy for someone like me.
So when you do a scan you could just tick the box or not tick the box for not working games/roms & same for imperfect & mechanical & Arcade & for console games/roms & for other things say card games & the list could be for other things too eventually when there is a fully detailed list defining which categories a game/roms goes in. If there is someone out there that is willing to show me how to compile my own build that would be great, as I have tried to understand & know what tools I would need to compile before but not being terribly good at techie things is a problem being shown & being talked through it & recording would help me so much.  Thankyou for replying so quickly

the database output of MAME does not provide a flag like "fully playable"
so unless someone does a manual set list you're stuck.

Your assumption is wrong.

- MAME itself does not have a "working" indicator. (your screenshot comes from a frontend which got its various grouping from a different source)

Besides of this...
- There are working mechanical sets
- there are sets which are not games which need to be included in your selection (e.g. devices)


Cmpro handles external lists since ages:
All you need is a setlist from a different source (e.g. your fav frontend) and use a well-formatted list in Scanner->SetInformation->From File + LOAD...

Well formatted means 1 setname per line.
