Many of the Neo-Geo ROMs were redumped this year. The good news is that they can be rebuilt. From the following page, use the link on the line: 2 March 2003 - Updated for WinKawaks v1.49. Use ROMBuild [MAME v0.80 Special] to build the new Neo-Geo ROMs. http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/WinKawaks/WinKawaks....

I presume that you are talking about the ones that are for emulators such as Nebula, etc? They create ROM sets that in addition to a good MAME set are all that you need for a particular emulator (i.e. by defining two ROM paths in the emulator; one for MAME ROMs, one for supplement ROMs). Examples of...

It seems like you have sorted your own problem before I saw it. :) Anyway, just to clarify something about XML vs. Listinfo: Listinfo was created many years ago and XML was introduced slightly over a year ago as a replacement. There was a long period during which both options were available, allowin...

The filesize of the xml2info file is 132KB Why does the size of exe matter? I was asking about the size of the XML and wanted to be sure that it was a file of many MB rather than an empty/incomplete file. Anyway, it doesn't matter now because my XML parser is not strict like xml2info is and appears...

DatUtil v2.5
I have just released DatUtil v2.5 which has it's own internal XML parser (so that xml2info.exe is not needed anymore).
You can find it at http://www.logiqx.com
Please let me know if it works ok and if it solves any existing problems that you have with MAME imports.

it appears as though the xml2info.exe is corrupt. I've compiled 3 times with fresh Mingw packages (from M32FX site) and dlownloaded fresh sources. It just simply won't output a Dat at all. You misunderstood me, it isn't xml2info.exe that will be corrupt. It will be the -listxml output that is bad! ...

Sorry but I have no idea. It's going to boil down to the XML being bad I think. Did you compile MAME yourself or download it? If compiling yourself, make sure that you do a clean compile first (either using 'make clean' or deleting the 'obj' directory). If that doesn't work, see what xml2info does o...

Nebula Jukebox (and Nebula)
I have created a proper data file for Nebula Jukebox now (including MAME supplements) and also updated the Nebula one slightly.
If anyone is interested in how these are created and validated, I have described the process in the Dat FAQs section of logiqx.com.

Sorry but its not intended for what you are trying to do. MAMEDiff has two purposes: 1) Tell you what has changed in a MAME release. This is a game level comparison and renames can be spotted because the comparison is intelligent (it actually does this with CRCs for the games themselves). The standa...

Then the problem is that your ROMs are not incorrect and need fixing. RomCenter may be able to do some of that fixing by renaming ZIPs and files inside them but some problems may require some re-downloading. Anyway, if you learn how to use RomCenter's fixing options then the datafile will be able to...

I think it will be far simpler for you to include DatUtil and xml2info with RomCenter. Having two extra steps in the install could make life difficult for users. ;) Now that you mention the source, it is really small now so it would be nice if you can include the whole package. Would it be possible ...

It sounds like you have got ROMs incorrectly named then. That kind of thing shows up more visibly in CMPro. The only difference that there should be is for galpanib, jdreddb, natodefa and vapotrp. Those 4 games don't actually have any ROMs of their own (all come from the parent) but CMPro wants/crea...

To be honest, I'd prefer not to distribute xm2info with my tools as I don't want to end up doing re-releases for xml2info updates or have lots of copies of xml2info on my machine. Most users of my tools can be considered quite technical so they will do something like putting xml2info in their path a...

Well done. Just a couple of clarifiers for everyone: 1) Moving the space by the redirection character isn't really necessary. I'd just replace 'info' with 'xml<space>'. 2) You can still pass -m to DatUtil (it just won't do anything with it). So, in theory you just need a 4 character change to the ex...

Ah, I know why... I did not think my idea through fully! You need a new version of RomCenter because it currently runs 'mame -listinfo' and uses DatUtil to interpret the output. RomCenter now needs to run 'mame -listxml' and use DatUtil to interpret it ('mame -listinfo' does absolutely nothing now)....

MAME v0.84 released so you now need DatUtil v2.0
MAME v0.84 has just been released and listinfo support has now been removed. You will therefore need the new version of DatUtil to handle the XML output of MAME. 1) Download DatUtil v2.0 from my website and copy datutil.exe into your RomCenter folder. 2) You also need to copy xml2info.exe into your ...
