Re: Temp files not removed from main drive: 90+ Gb hidden in Local

I see, but I would expect to see the DB saved there, not the uncompressed rom files. Recycle bin from what I recall, has no physical space on the main disk; the files stay where they are, and space is freed only when the file is deleted (although you see them in the recycle bin, but that's just a sy...

Temp files not removed from main drive: 90+ Gb hidden in Local

I did notice that my C drive (SSD) was running out of space...looked elsewhere for almost 100 GB, but could not find it. Then I did download a software called spacesniffer, and found the culprit: Romcenter folder with 97 GB of data, in my C drive, under user/appdata/local. The roms are on a totally ...

Sorry, forgot to mention the os :) W10 Ultimate The error is coming on the log window and in a popup; this is the text: Error: An error occurred while executing the command definition.

Re: RC beta 7 can't parse a full mame romset

I did try few times; and in any case it didn't go through, beyond the first pass to check the names.

My PC is an i5 4690K with 16 Gb of Ram and Nvidia 970 2Gb. The romset is on a regular 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD

RC beta 7 can't parse a full mame romset

I did download the new beta, and made a backup of my 0.161 romset for mame. After checking the names, the application fail. It seems to work if you select only few roms, but if you select the whole romset (93K files), the application just choke at one point and fail. If this is expected, would be ni...

Re: Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

Wohooo :) In the meantime that V4 get fixed, I just made a new romset using the merge option; so I have all games in a single zip, and at least I can delete the games that I won't play, to start with. Once V4 will work for me, I will take care of the clones too. BTW I was not able to put the samples...

Basically, when creating a new database without clones; the rom scan stop after few hundreds roms; returning an error and is not able to continue the scan to the end. The same romset works fin...

Re: Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

No problem , I can take a couple of screens and write a step by step list about what I did to reproduce the issue; feel free to point me to any bug tracking system that you guys use; so I can file one if needed :) Indeed masking the username and computer name would be very helpful; just for the sake...

Re: Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

I see, thanks for the reply. The full log had a lots of info level data; but I see no errors statements and such; I can send you the whole thing if you like, although I am not sure how helpful is to see a ton of info calls about the rom names. The application just refuse to parse more data once it r...

Re: Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

Thanks, I did check the log and found something maybe. I can see these calls in the log; it seems like something get assigned as null in master view (gamesviewmodel?); and the application does not proceed further. This time it did stop at altered beast rom; going up to 244 rom recognized. <log4net:e...

Re: Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

Thanks a lot for the help! So, I did try V4 and it made a bit of a mess :) I did create a new db from mame exe; and choose in the filtering, to not include the clones; as mentioned. All was OK until I choose the folder for the roms; then I have got the first error. The scan stopped at aliensyndrome,...

Re: Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

Thanks a lot! BTW this procedure is for V4 or V3? I thought I would ask before make a mess :) Also, which setup should I then use for the romset? Should I keep the "un-merged" setup for both the options? LAst thing, I noticed that my sample are not add to the rom and result as missing; what is the f...

Waiting for official version, how do I remove clones?

Hi all, just discovered this utility and I love it. I use the software to arrange everything as it should, so I can play games :) I know what a rom is, and that each game has clones and such, and this is where issues start. Basically I have a 0.161 dump for mame, and it is all right; but I have a to...
