problem 3.71 and mess 148u3

hello,

i checked my mess rom files and got some problem with some results.
for example c64.zip - i have almost all files but 901229-04.uab5 is listed "red" - missing.
after searching the web from button to top, i did a 'messui.exe -listxml' and was searching for
"901229-04.uab5" and this is the result:
<rom name="901229-04.uab5" bios="r4" size="8192" status="nodump" region="ucd5" offset="2000"/>

status is "nodump" so it falsely listed as "missing" in romcenter.

I'm not that sure, maybe i made a mistake, but it looks more like a problem of romcenter.

anyway. thank you for your nice tool.

best regards,
freshman

Thank you for your report.
Mess is currently not fully supported. It will be improved in the future with the v4.

hello,

in the past i was using the feature of extracting DAT file from current mess version,
and this seems to be the problem.
I tested my set with another rommanger, and this one has the same problem.

but i found a dat file for Mess 0.152, which I importet in Romcenter and this shows very different result.
http://emulationrealm.net/downloads/category/288-mess

99.9% of the bios files are ok, just some nes_* with only sample files (.wav) are listed as "unknown".

2004 ok vs. 8 bad ( the wav files ). this is very cool :)

so romcenter 3.71 works as one can expect, if you find a good DAT file.

best regards,
freshman
