[size=150]Version 3.00 alpha 3 released[/size]

This release fixes a lot of bugs, new (or old) features will be added as soon as some stability will be reached.
The database structure changed, you can' t use the alpha 1 bin files, so you must create new one.

Reports bugs and comments in this forum please.

How to install it:
- unzip in a directory
- run romcenter.exe
- select files/new...
- follow the wizard to create the database
- wait for creation (quite long, count 15 min for a mame 0.111)
- Add rom path
- check, fix etc...


Of course, I can't imagine all possible configurations for testing. To do an effective job, please follow the next steps to repair your roms:
If possible, use mame 0.112 dat.
0 -Backup you folder (so that you can run the test again to confirm)
1 -Add your folder in rc3
2 -Select the folder and do a refresh : no files should be added or deleted. If not, save the log.
3 -Select the folder and run a fix
4 -When finished, save the log
5 -Use the filters to display only yellow flags: nothing should be displayed.
6 -Reset the filters
7 -Select the folder and do a refresh: no files should be added or deleted. If not, save the log.
