Romcenter

yes, its fixed.

The bug is tracked [url=http://forums.no-intro.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2877]here[/url].
It seems to be fixed now.

I'm assuming you mean No-Intro, not tosec (although i haven't tried it with tosec yet so it could be the case there too). Thanks for the headsup on the p/clone xml - i'll use that going forward.

Hi

Yes, the rom tag is missing the closing slash :?
I have contacted tosec team about that.

Anyway, I recommend to use the p/clone xml version with rc4.

Hi there and welcome here.

RC4 is in beta stage and as you can [url=https://bitbucket.org/ebolefeysot/romcenter/issues/38/no-intro-dat-file-not-working-in-romcenter]see here[/url], there is an already reported issue with no-intro dats. You can open a new bug in the [url=https://bitbucket.org/ebolefeysot/romcenter/issues]bugtracker[/url] if you feel there's something wrong with RC4.

Hi all, running into some trouble trying to use RomCenter (after getting irritated with CMPro).

For some of the datfiles i was just using my existing CMPro ones and everything seemed to be fine. The issue i'm running into is datfiles from no-intro that need supplementary header files (a separate XML download for CMPro). From reading the forums here i found out you have to click "standard dat" and then "Romcenter Format" on the no-intro datfile download page to get the proper format file. No worries, easy enough. However, when i try to import that DAT into RC, i get the following error:

[code]Creating new database Atari - 7800 (20140326-040142_RC) from datafile Atari - 7800 (20140326-040142_RC).dat

[/code]

I popped open the DAT in notepad and noticed that the <game> tag is being opened and closed in the XML but it doesn't look like the <rom> tag is, and RC doesn't like it.

Is this a RC bug or a no-intro bug? I should note that as an experiment i opened the same DAT in the latest stable RC 3.X and it opened fine. This appears to be the case for every RC formatted file i download from no-intro. Is there some trick i'm missing?

Apologies if this is a "known solution", but i poked around on the forum and wasn't able to find an answer. Thanks ahead of time!
