Rename/Delete Roms

Post by Slaktarn »

Hay everyone this is great software and first of all i would like to thank the coder for it!

Anyways i find some problems that i don´t see how them can exist as i see it

I have my roms in a folder like this root folder is "Genesis"

/Genesis/3 Ninjas Kick Back/Game1.bin <- rename to "3 Ninjas Kick Back (1994)(Sony)(US).bin"
/Genesis/Addams Family Values/Game2.bin <- rename to "Addams Family Values (E) (M3) [!].bin"
/Genesis/Aerobiz/Game3.bin <- "delete the file as its not valid rom file"

Lets say i will rename the two first as them are valid, but don´t has right name and the third and last would i like to delete!

But i can´t do it as the RomCenter will mess everything up ether it will "rename folders/rename roms - zip them" or just remove the folders

Anyone more got this problem then me or is it just me that found this as a big problem?

Another great thing would be if it automatic can delete empty folders, and have it optional if you will pack your stuff or not as its maybe not what you would like to do!

I use the latest one! "3.7.1", fun did miss that question i use a own dat i made, but its not a dat problem its how the romcenter handle its options

RomCenter, the problem is that you can´t in any option of the RomCenter set what you like it to do it has lack of options,

You need to have this ones "Zip/7Zip" / "Rename Files" / "Remove Bad Files"

Here are my settings atm

Im my eyes this would "Delete corrupted files <- Delete bad files mismatching crc i think/Remove useless files <- Delete every file that not is a rom file in dat file/Remove useless roms <- delete duplicate roms i think/Rename roms <- Rename every rom that not match the name in dat file"

So what happen when i set fix game on this thing?

First of all, it moved all files in etch folder to working directory "wtf? i never told it to move any files!"

Also it keep one file in every folder strange in my eyes, it has to be every file! As i never told it to move anything from anything

Second it renamed all moved files in work directory and zipped them "Wtf? i never told it to zip them just rename?

Last i can tell that the datfile is one that i created whit ClrNamePro and its nothing wrong on it i have a own little tool custom build in C# to do this for me in a correct way and works 100%

Hi

Sorry for the delay. Unfortunatly, I won't update rc3 anymore, as the version 4 will soon be ready. I'm working every day on it, but it takes time.
It is a compleat rewrite, so things will be different.
Fyi, I'm currently working on db optimization to have decent speed on big database (mame with lots of files).

More info soon.
