Romcenter

It should not need to, but try running RC as admin.

Also, rightclick on the disk RC is and select "Properties". There is a "Quota" tab. Take a look there, maybe Quota has been activated and you have reached the allowed space for your user.

Hi,

Insufficient quota to process this command


Hi.

As it seems, it's not a RomCenter issue but a permissions one. The storage on which the RomCenter database is placed has some kind of permissions/quota system, which prohibits your account from writing data. I'd suggest you move the ...

Hello.

I'm suspecting that it has something to do with permissions but it would be helpful if you could translate this message to English.

Strange. Eric will have to check it out to answer this...

Hi.

Was the datafile created from your MAME 0.274 exe or downloaded from somewhere? Check it (the original dat, not the RC database) for this game and see if the CRCs for these roms are what RC reports.

the official dat of mame 273 is not the same as the one created by the non merged fulset downloaded in pleasuredome



I don't know if mame has non merged dat


IIRC, it does. Check this post . I'd suggest you set both options to "Ignore" and then recheck your roms ( DON'T FIX , just check). If ...

What configurantion i Mark in this options?


In this window, you define how you wish RC to treat the names it finds in each case.

- Files are the game files (zip)
- Rom are the roms contained in the game files

For each on these two, you can define that you wish their names to:

- Set the ...

It all depends on what is defined in the datafile. Maybe the Arcade64 datafile has the same rom with a different case...

In my case, even with the changed name, the ROM is a 100% legitimate dump of the contents inside the cartridge's eprom or is the ROM altered?


Yes. "The ROM is a 100% legitimate dump of the contents inside the cartridge's eprom" as you say, when the checksums in the datafile match the checksums ...

Normally, it should. You could also generate the 0.273 database from mame itself to be more sure.

I'm not sure i understand the question. Romcenter (RC) is capable of detecting all of the file types you mention, as long as they have been properly defined in the datafile. A datafile generated by MAME itself should have proper definitions, so RC should detect all these types. If it has been ...

RoboCop v ersus The Terminator (USA).sfc for RoboCop V ersus The Terminator (USA).sfc?


Sometimes, the case of a rom is different in the zip file than in the datafile. Romcenter picks that and marks the rom as yellow. The rom is indeed valid, it just needs renaming. I can't open RC right now but ...

Hi.

Haven't seen this message again. A quick search in Google revealed this. Could this by any chance be your case?

Log files are placed in C:\ProgramData\romcenter. Maybe they contain more info on the matter.

Also, what OS are you using?

I haven't tried it myself with the latest versions of MAME, but you can try it out, it should work.

A Yellow rom means that in your datafile, this rom exists (the CRC/SHA of this rom matches an entry in the datafile) but with a different name. You have to Fix the game in order for the roms to be renamed to their proper name (as it exists in the datafile). Check the wiki for more info on the matter ...

A portable version that would not require install would be great

Check this thread. It's a beta version but no installation is required...

Very strange...

Eric? Any ideas?

I'm not asking about the issue, i'm asking if you also have a Windows VM on a Linux host and run RC from there.

Hmmm, strange. Well, i guess it's one of the things Eric must take a look at, to understand what's going on.


- My ROM path is on a network share, but this has never given me any other issues.
- I run Romcenter in a Windows 10 VM on a Linux host, again, this has never been an issue.


@bototin
Do ...

OK, without touching your existing RC installation, can you try it with this version? Place it in a different folder, run it and then just add the folder and see what happens. If it works, try backing up your roms and test it further.

Remember, it's still a beta version, could have serious bugs...

OK, that's strange. When you posted the dat, i performed a similar task but with a folder with files from an emulator, which was not empty. The folder appeared normally, with all its contents gray of course, since they were not relevant to the dat.

- What version of RC are you using?
- Is there a ...

OK, i checked all files, there is nothing that is obviously wrong, so this is something that only Eric can answer via code debugging.

A suggestion i have personally tried in similar cases is to create an empty data folder, add it to RC and add files gradually in it and refresh it in RC. That way ...

OK, thanks. I did some quick preliminary checks but didn't find anything. Can you also post the log file? (C:\ProgramData\romcenter\romcenter_xml.log). At least the last 100 lines where the actual problem should be displayed...

I'm also getting this exact error with official Redump IBM - PC compatible DATs for the last year or so. If you go back to one from a few years ago it works fine. For example "IBM - PC compatible - Datfile (17435) (2019-04-03 13-07-38).dat" works without the error. I can't attach it because .dat ...

Can you please upload it here as a zip file or somewhere else that does not require a login and permission asking?

I could check it. Can you post the dat here?

Hi.

This looks like a datafile issue. Are you sure there is nothing duplicate in it?

Hi there. From the image you posted, it seems that you have filtered out the missing games. Is that the case?

Well, apart from the news Eric had already posted last month, nothing else yet. It seems things are in progress...

Nice news Eric! Thanks for all the work.
