Hi,
Quick question. I just did a full Scanner, with all Check&Fix ON.. later in the logfile I can see several messages such as this:

Astro Chase [softwarelist: a800 - folder: achase - size: 16kb]
wrong SysDefPath: achase [wrong: D:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: D:\games\mame\roms\a800\]

I do have 2 zips but are different in their content, although it seems only the filename is different:

$ ls -l a800/achase.zip
-rwxrwx---+ 1 llagos None 10087 Jun 15 11:10 a800/achase.zip
$ ls -l standard/achase*
-r-xr-x---+ 1 llagos None 10090 Mar  8  2017 standard/achase.zip
$ unzip -l a800/achase.zip
Archive:  a800/achase.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
    16384  12-24-1996 23:32   astro chase (first star software)(1982).rom
---------                     -------
    16384                     1 file
$ unzip -l standard/achase.zip
Archive:  standard/achase.zip
TORRENTZIPPED-A4823C79
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
    16384  12-24-1996 23:32   ac.rom
---------                     -------
    16384                     1 file

The byte difference, I guess it's because of the zip comment...

so I guess both are correct in their own location, and the warning is wrong? If not, why didn't clrmame fix that? (move, delete, rename, etc.).

Thanks!

The rom in question of the sets mf_achas and achase are identical

a800 software list:
rom name="astro chase (first star software)(1982).rom" size="16384" crc="18752991" sha1="f508b89d2251c53d017cff6cb23b8e9880a0cc0b"

standard mame:
rom name="ac.rom" size="16384" crc="18752991" sha1="f508b89d2251c53d017cff6cb23b8e9880a0cc0b" region="maincpu" offset="8000"

So most likely cmpro hits a false positive match when it tries to identify the sets.

If I remember correctly wrong system default path placements needs to be fixed manually, but in this case the original complaint about a wrong placed set is wrong...I will have a look at it later.

Gracias Roman,!

In my scanner.log there are a few more:

Bristles [softwarelist: a800 - folder: bristles - size: 16kb]
wrong SysDefPath: bristles [wrong: D:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: D:\games\mame\roms\a800\]

Acclaim PSX [system: Acclaim PSX - folder: coh1000a - size: 520kb]
wrong SysDefPath: coh1000a [wrong: D:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: D:\games\mame\roms\coh1000a\]

Taito FX1 [system: Taito FX1 - folder: coh1000t - size: 520kb]
wrong SysDefPath: coh1000t [wrong: D:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: D:\games\mame\roms\coh1000t\]

Flip and Flop [softwarelist: a800 - folder: flipflop - size: 16kb]
wrong SysDefPath: flipflop [wrong: D:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: D:\games\mame\roms\a800\]

In case they are also worth looking at, to find some common root-cause...

Regards,

[Roman]

Hmm...I've tried to rebuild the scenario by using the MAME import and a800 as only softwarelist. Then the mentioned sets and did a scan...but no issues found. Either full or split merged. No problems here (using the latest nighly build)

So...can you provide me:

- your cmpro.ini
- your *.cmp file (cmpro's settings folder) for the used profile (I guess you're using a current official MAME binary as import)
- a pair of the archives in question (e.g. both bristles etc)...maybe the archive is special and causes a problem

[llagos]

Hola Roman,

- Standard folder holds a copy of "achase.zip" which is wrong. It's part of the a800 software list and should be placed in the assigned path (actually you do have a copy there, too)
- Standard folder holds a copy of "mf_achas.zip" which is wrong, too since it belongs to maxaflex bios set which is assigned to D:\games\mame\roms\maxaflex
With a clean setup profile cmpro warns me about the double set: "Set exists in various rompaths: ... " message....it does not do it with your profile though....have to check why....but generally your origiginal message is correct: wrong SysDefPath: achase [wrong: D:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: D:\games\mame\roms\a800\]
it found a dupe zip archive of achase there and this indeed needs to be in a800...

...and you got D:\games\mame\roms listed as a rompath, while all sets are in subpaths of that....so...this isn't a good idea either, you only need to list the real rompaths, not rompaths containing rompaths....

[llagos]

Gracias Roman,

May I ask why cmpro doesn't move these files... not yet implemented (in the to-do list), or just too complicated?

about "roms" folder, you're right.! didn't notice that, and probably stayed there after I moved to software lists... I just deleted it.. thanks!

Salu2,

[Roman]

Actually I have to check if an automatic move from one sysdefpath to another is implemented or not ;-) Too long ago....it's not hard to implement (acutally I think it's in...) but maybe it fails for you because you already have a copy in the right folder, too.

Hi Roman,
I've noticed a few of these messages with the latest build (20200924) and latest mame .225...
I think last time (when I opened this topic) there were duplicates. But now, that's not the case...
For instance:
African Adventure (Konami Endeavour, Russia) [system: Konami Endeavour BIOS - folder: aadvent - size: 27mb]
wrong SysDefPath: aadvent [wrong: L:\games\mame\roms\standard\] [right: L:\games\mame\roms\bios\konendev\]

It's on "standard" but not under "software":
$ ls -l /cygdrive/L/games/mame/roms/standard/aadvent.zip
-rwx---rwx+ 1 llagos None 332653 Mar 21  2020 /cygdrive/L/games/mame/roms/standard/aadvent.zip
$
$ ls -l /cygdrive/L/games/mame/roms/bios/konendev/
total 24
-rwx---rwx+ 1 llagos None 21502 Mar 21  2020 konendev.7z
$

Scanner has "fix all" set, so... why weren't all these sets moved to their proper location?

Thanks again!

[Roman]

Hmmmmm....here it does prompt about the wrong placed one and moves it (if you got "ask before fixing" enabled) ...will check why it seems to skip the fix otherwise


ok found it....when the ask before fixing dialog is not used, the check simply uses a wrong initial value and it gets skipped...fixed in next version

great!!! that's it... I unchecked "ask"... I trust you
