Convert XML Dat files into RomCenter 3.7.1 Dat format
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2015 12:42 pm
It seems RomCenter 3.7.1 is not compatible with the updated XML structure of the newest MAME releases. This is a possible work-around:
1. Download and install Romulus from http://romulus.net63.net/.
2. Start Romulus and select Add DAT from MAME based EXE.
3. Go to the scanner tab.
4. Select the Fixdat options - sixth icon in the row at the top left.
5. Import the resulting file into Romcenter.
It seems to have been worked. I tested with MAME 0.161, the last version before the merge with MESS.
