Re: how to combine two sets of MAME roms with the same name into a new clean set?

Hi there. I assume you mean that you have 2 separate folders A and B, containing games from the same system , and you have "fixed" them with romcenter using the same DAT file . If that's the case, copy all files from B to A WITHOUT overwriting any existing files. That way, any games that do not exis...

Re: Extract from .exe

Hi

I don't know if anyone can help you with this, but Romcenter as a roms manager, simply gets an existing datafile and processes it. If you have problems creating the datafile from an emulator, it would probably be better to direct this question to the emulator's support forums. Try this link.

Re: Command line

Hi Eric,

Along with the "updatestructure" option, i have a request for 2 additional command-line actions: RemoveROMPath and RemoveAllROMPaths. They would complement the "addrompath" option nicely and give the ability to mass-setup rompaths in databases.

Hi Eric. Here are some questions/comments/requests about the command line. Update: 1. What if the database needs updating because its structure is of an older version?

You could add custom dat entries in the datafile then. After that, you could re-create an RC database including them.

If you eliminate that possibility, then there is a chance that the combination of datafile and romfiles you use has caused a hidden bug to appear, either in RC or in Wine. In any case, since in that case it would be a developer issue, only Eric could help.
