Romcenter

How hard is to create a datafile for Romcenter and/or ClrMamePro from a list of files in a directory. e.g. I have selected a whole bunch of adf images and they are in my games directory. I need to convert that into a datafile for other people to rename their own (probably TOSEC) sets. You can use L...

I Have all the GoodSet datafiles at my site if your interested.

Removed do to licensing.

Give MAME32 a try, or use a frontend like MAME Classic.

Read this thread.

Thanks for the help. I've been reading books and slowly beginning to understand the basics of C and C++. Perhaps after some more studying and some experience I'll be able to create a working program.

Part of the reason i was trying to do this is I have an old AMD 400 k-6 system with a 6 GB hard drive and an old Asteroids arcade cabinet. I was going to convert it to a MAME arcade cabinet (if I ever find the time and money :)). what will you do with games that have, say like Raiden II etc only une...

I can't see the sense in having games that are not working so I would like to create a mame 0.86, or whatever, datafile that excludes the not working games. My first attempt was to create a regular expression and use search and replace on the mame list.xml. Of course that did'nt work because In remo...

Do you have an approximate release date?

Have you tried ROMbuild?

Why is one version bigger than the others? I honetly don't know :? ...............because the size doesn't matter just as long as the ROM works and is a [!], verified good dump right? All the Roms work except the Overdumps [o] and bad dumps (even those work sometimes) If your only interested in hav...

Standard Codes: [a] Alternate = a version of the game that was changed after its original release [p] Pirate = Pirated game Bad Dump = A game that was improperly converted from a cart to a rom image [t] Trained = A game that allows you to cheat more or less [f] Fixed = A bad dump that has been fixed...

.7z must be the first choice. i don't care whether any emulator supports this format. a smaller size is cool. I must agree. With Goodmerge now able to reduce the GoodN64 Set from around 26 gigs zipped to only 4.7 Gigs 7-zipped, 7-zip support in RomCenter would definitely be a welcome addition. and ...

I should have stated that I am by no means an expert on the subject of SNES roms. Thanks dbjh for clearing up some of my erroneous comments.

Read the included faq.html Most of what you need to know is in there. Quote from faq.html - Q45: SNES Can be deinterleaved with uCON64 using the option -dint, but it is better to use one of the regular conversion options -smc, -swc, -fig or -mgd. Some SNES tools erroneously interleave LoROM dumps. T...

Quote from GoodSNES Good.doc: "For all those following the never ending oddball format of the day for the SNES, forget it. I removed all the extra deinterleave code for odd sized dumps, double interleave code, BullShit (not BS) SuperFX interleave code, and a few others that won't occur in the real w...

but when i scan my collection with your datafile for snes, the audit says that i miss 280 games (bad CRC); First make sure you have the snes.dll file in your plugin directory. You can find it at the RomCenter download page. The SNES datafiles was converted from a ClrMamePro datafiles created by Rom...

I could'nt get the toolbar filter box to work, but turns out it was my mouse. If the scroll wheel is touched after entering the search, the results would reset. :roll: Is there a way to exclude a filter. Say I wanted to remove all baddumps. I enter [b* to list only the baddumps. What syntax would I ...

This datafile should be close to what you want but by no means perfect. I know I missed a few Japanese games and probably removed some roms I should'nt have. Notes for this datafile: Make sure and select Un-Merged (All ROMs in both sets) under preferences. As always back up your existing ROMs set. C...

These datafiles are US Only (without Baddumps, Overdumps, or Translations) If you would also like the Hacks, and/or Trainers removed (or the o, b, and/or T put back in) let me know. GBA N64 NES SNES Note: make sure you back up your roms before using these! Just in case you change yor mind or this is...

The emulators I am interested in setting up with US sets are NES, SNES, GBA, N64, and MAME. Mame will be a problem since the origin of some of the roms are not clearly stated. I could create a datafile without clones (Except where the US version is a clone), but eliminating nonUS roms would just be...

Does RC handle other emulators or just MAME? If there is a datafile for it RomCenter can handle it. I have around 30 at my site. Datafiles Logiqx has most of the Arcade related datafiles at his site . You will need plugins for the SNES and N64 datafiles. Those can be found at the Romcenter download...

Just thought of something:
Do you want the (JUE) (UE) (PD) ect roms as well, or only (U)

do I need to go through and run Fix Game on each ROM All you would have to do is right click on the roms folder in RomCenter and select fix game (This will do all roms in one step). Just make sure to select remove useless roms under preferences. Do you want all the sets or just a few? (NES, Atari 2...

You will need a custom datafile to do that.
What sets are you interested in?
I could make US only datafiles easily enough.

Sorry about that I moved to a new server and forgot to update the link here.
NES Datafile (Link Broken)

Use a text editor on your datafiles and simply copy and paste.

I'll post it at my site when I do the updates.

Datafiles

Small update. Did'nt take as long as I thought

link removed: Keep reading thread for working link.

I'm updating my set right now. I'll post a datafile here later today or tomorrow.

Here's a datafile I've been working on. Let me know if you have any problems with it.
