Still supported in cmpro? Actually yes since cmpro's samples check should check .wav, .flac, .ape and .sam....
Still supported in MAME....I highly doubt that....guess that was dropped >15 years ago :)

Yes.  Just in clrmamepro.  I know they are old and not required these days but am trying to build old sets for collection purposes.  Whenever I use .sam files, I get errors that they are missing and have tried all I can to try to make them detected in clrmamepro.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  Let me know if you need examples.

Hmm...I've just tested this by renaming some of the current .wav samples in .sam and scanned and got no errors....sooo....since the only samples information which is checked is the name, different extensions seem to work as I though of....

What errors do you get? Maybe the problem is in the dats....

Here is an example of the window.  As you can see, clrmamepro is suggesting unneeded file.  sam file is located in samples directory. 

samples\asteroid\asteroid.zip (contains asteroid.sam)

Also is attached the dat file.  Perhaps I'm just naming something wrong?

Thanks Roman!  That corrected it.  Sorry to bring back such old support but wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong on my end.

nah...it was a problem in reading in the datfile and getting rid of existing extensions for sample files to make them dynamic....these days samples don't have extensions anymore....Thanks for reporting.
